Received html file from insurer; When I try to open the file I get the following error: "This application is not fully accessible to users whose browsers do not support or have Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) disabled. For a more optimal experience viewing this application, please enable CSS in your browser and refresh the page".

I can find no options in firefox to enable or disable CSS. I've disabled UBlock and Ghostery, and firefox tracking protection with same results. I can disable page style in view menu to display a non-rendered page.

Most of the help I've found online is intent on helping to view style sheets coding rather then how to display a particular page...

The page you are trying to view is broken. CSS is used for the styling of pages, it's a core technology powering the Web. The first commercial browser to support CSS was Microsoft's Internet Explorer 3, which was released in August 1996 [0]. While there has been an on/off switch for JavaScript in Firefox[1], no such thing exists for CSS. You may be able to mess around in Firefox' internal configuration, but you'd notice that all sites would look broken, because all major sites use CSS. You should contact the insurer and ask them for support.

Makes sense since I have no problems loading any other page.
