It looks that you need to access this website via an open http connection and not via a secure https connection.

Are you suing an extension like HTTPS Everywhere to force a secure connection? If you do then exclude this domain.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
