It seems that "an upstream supplier" has made changes that specifically
require an MTU of 1492. Problem solved.
Only some sites were affected, which made it confusing. I can't imagine
why anyone would do this and not tell anybody. My reseller couldn't tell
me who the "upstream supplier" is, except that it isn't TPG.
Go figure.

You probably refer to the drop of support for NPAPI (e.g. article in
http://venturebeat.com/2014/11/24/google-chrome-will-block-all-netscape-plugin-api-plugins-in-january-drop-support-completely-in-september/
about Chrome but Firefox is following cloesely behind).
There are temporary work-around provided by Google to keep letting
some plugins to be enabled by some sites, but they are all expected to
be gone by the end of 2015 so should better find alternatives soon.
As for the original question - I doubt that it's a plugin issue. It
sounds more like some of the dependent resources on these pages are
being blocked or otherwise (temporarily?) unavailable. What does the
JavaScript console show? Do you have some corporate proxy which could
be misbehaving?
Just for shits and giggles, I visited www.trivago.com.au
<http://www.trivago.com.au> and had no problem accessing it, even on
my flaky home ADSL2+ line.

What browser?
Recently, Chrome (and possibly Firefox) decided that all java
pugins (and
others like Silverlight) were "unsecured", and the simply stopped
allowing
the plugins to work.
Broke countless business-related Web sites - I had a storm of
them, all
being blamed on "the firewall", or "the network".
I can't find the reference articles I dug up at the time as I'm
mobile,
but try a different browser and see if that helps.
