FWIW, I haven't visited that site but I got exactly the same message 
(except for the substitution of "Firefox" for "Iceweasel") at work for 
several other websites, including www.amazon.co.uk

Might be coincidence. But in my case, the problem was the DNS server. My 
machine was getting its DNS server addresses from the DHCP server on the 
local LAN, some local machine that wasn't working right, somehow. 
Explicitly setting the DNS server addresses for the NIC to those from 
Eircom fixed the problem.
