I'm making the following 2 assumptions from your description:
1) You are able to get to DoD sites on linux with your CAC card. --- and -- 2) You are able to get to DoD and navy.mil on Windows with your CAC cards.
If this is the case, then it might a problem with some missing intermediate certificates on Linux. The navy site may be presenting a set of root certs which it accepts for SSL client auth. IE ignores that list and looks for all your user certs and asks which you want to use. FF looks for certs that chain to your client auth certificate. If you don't have the intermediates installed FF won't find your certificate. You can verify that this is the problem by turning on 'Ask Every' (preferences->Advanced->certificates->Ask Every Time). If no dialog pops up when you try to connect, it means FF has not found any suitable certificate for that server.
