I'm using Firefox.

Commenting this does not solve the problem for me, but...

... fixing lighttpd configuration to enable cgi-bin access (by linking
/etc/lighttpd/conf-available/10-cgi.conf to
/etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled) did.

Not enabling this in lighttpd by default could be a violation of
policy 11.5, and at least apache2 seems to have cgi-bins enabled by
default. On the other hand there is good reason for having a more
restricted default config in a web server. Anyway, reassigning this to
lighttpd.
