Inactive 'Start a conversation' button in Firefox Hello in desktop PC running Linux behind proxy
I have tried it in Ubuntu 14.04 and Archlinux. It works fine on Windows (with and without a mic or camera) and a laptop running Archlinux both behind the same proxy.
(I'm not sure if this is related, but the about:home snippets also don't load; again this works fine in Windows).

Do you have any add ons like Noscript or one that might be keeping scripts from loading?
This requires javascript to be active in order to start a conversation,
No. I don't have any addons istalled; it's a clean installation of Firefox (currently on Archlinux).
I have Never remember history enabled and my Browser Console just after opening firefox and clicking the Start a conversation icon shows as follows:

The InvalidStateError aboutHome.js: goes away once I enable History. The output of Browser console then would be:

I can reproduce this, it looks like remembering history is required. I also tried to enable cookies for just that domain however it must be something else. I am not 100% sure that the cookies are required for Firefox Hello, but history seems to be.
In case I was not clear, Firefox Hello does not work for me even with history enabled; and again, works fine on Windows.
(Is the issue of about:home snippet not loading related to the %OS_VERSION% or %BUILD_TARGET% of Archlinux in the snippet URL? The URL in the Browser Console led to a blank page.)
There's no timings on there, but from the logs it looks like it is failing to access the network fully:
GET https://push1.push.hello.firefox.com/ [11ms] GET https://push1.push.hello.firefox.com/ [444ms] GET https://push1.push.hello.firefox.com/ [869ms]
This shouldn't be being repeated. I think what might be going on is that it is trying to open a websocket connection to that server, but it is being denied.
This would potentially be an issue with the proxy, though I don't know why it would affect Linux and not windows.
