[PLUG] Using Firefox to view listings for Xfinity

I understand I can't watch xfinity programs on Linux, but up until
Thursday I've been able to view the listings and set programs to record.
Now it doesn't past a purple screen with the words "xfinity stream" and
three blinking dots. My attempt to talk to their tech support was less
than useful. Is anyone else using their Linux system to view listings on
xfinity?
I'm using Firefox with a user agent set for Windows / Firefox 128 ESR.
This has worked for a few years. I can't tell if they're having some
kind of stream outage, or if they've changed their rules to prevent
viewing the schedule.
The one thing the Indian young lady said was there was some kind of app
for Linux Mint, but my searching hasn't turned up anything related to
that. I'm also supposed to be able to use an app for my Samsung phone,
but the tiny screen won't be of much use for scheduling.
Any hints would be appreciated.
