For some content on the Dirt Magazine mountain bike website I see, "A plug in is needed to view this content", but nothing shows me what plug in I actually need. I have attached a screenshot. Can you please tell me how to figure out what one I need? Thanks.

That is a problem with that web page. It tries to open an HTML web page via an embed tag and that doesn't work with Firefox. The website would have to use an iframe or an object tag. 

<embed src="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/lookatthestats.com/2015_02_Sector1.html" width="320" height="480">

See these threads for some suggestions with a bookmarklet: 

javascript:(function(){var cE='iframe',eE=document.querySelectorAll('embed');for(i=0;E=eE[i];i++){N=document.createElement(cE);for(j in E.attributes){A=E.attributes[j];if((A.name!=undefined)&&(A.value!=undefined)){N.setAttribute(A.name,A.value)}}E.parentNode.replaceChild(N,E)}})()
