Ahh, but it is cross-origin. Despite you trying to trick us into thinking everything is coming from http://www.james-ingram-act-two.de. You are actually serving your fonts from http://www.james-ingram-act-two.de/fonts/clicht_plain-webfont.woff

Your webserver redirects requests to http://www.james-ingram-act-two.de/fonts/clicht_plain-webfont.woff and actually provides the file from http://www.james-ingram-act-two.de/fonts/clicht_plain-webfont.woff

Firefox catches this and refuses to play.

You could either
a) stop redirecting
b) set up CORS

You should raise bugs on UAs that are allowing your current site to work. The point is that if you have a font on a site and it is licensed such that only your site should use it and someone else sets up a web server and redirects all requests for fonts on that site to your site, he still shouldn't be able to use your fonts even though via redirects he can make all the code seem like it's doing same site requests.
