Either it's missing credentials (do you have to login with Firefox ?) or
cookies.

Some servers deliver content depending on the user agent (UserAgent:
header field set by the client).

To see what Firefox set in the request headers for your box, sniff with
Wireshark (search the web for instructions).

But first try with something like this:
--user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:58.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/58.0"
