Looks like you have some blocking software in the path
(e.g. proxy server) which is denying you access to that site.
For example, that site does not have a Privacy Policy
(according to Alt-V,v). If that was a criterion deemed sufficient
to deny you access you could be getting an error message
from it, (e.g. the one that you see with FireFox.)
If you aren't seeing the same error message that you see
with another browser at the same site that could be explained
if you are using an unfortunate default in the Options, Advanced tab:
Show friendly HTTP error messages
If that option is checked try unchecking it and see if your symptom
changes. Note: I can't remember if that is another one of the
undocumented "requires restart" options or not but to test the change
thoroughly, if it doesn't have an immediate effect, at least make sure
you close all instances of IE windows and verify (e.g. using Task Manager)
that no instance of iexplore.exe remains running before deciding
that that the final test was unsuccessful.
Good luck
