Does anyone know if Firefox supports non-local font types like EOT
(MSIE) or PFR (Netscape) either natively or via extensions?

Is this what you are looking for?
Maybe, but I don't think so. From the extension's page, it looks to me
as if it converts "the following dynamic font schemes" (which is
basically what EOT or PFR is) to Unicode. Now, from my understanding
of Unicode, it is just an encoding and doesn't actually specify the
font. Thus, I need the font specified by the website locally installed
anyway to use this extension - that is, I am back at square one
(especially if the dynamic font is rather obscure and is not available
as a TTF).
I'll give it a try though. and post about my adventures into the world
of proprietary fonts and vernacular websites :)
