There's always a certain amount of comedy in security-related sites
that get blocked based on security problems.  This site fails to load
in FF on Linux - but works fine in FF, Chrome and Safari on Mac.  It
also works in Chromium on Linux.

It doesn't appear to be a TLS version issue as I first guessed ... if
only I'd read the "error code" I would have known better, but TLS
version issues are commonest.  Sorry, I guess I don't have much to
add, but site encryption issues like this always interest me as I
spent a fair bit of time learning about site encryption ... and this
is still beyond me.
