Got a warning page on PhysOrg

I've accidentally noticed that the PhysOrg website was blacklisted in the "badware" list recently; my FF browser warned me about it. Does seeing the FF warning page (without clicking on the link which directly goes into the risky site itself) could still download malware even if FF says it automatically block the site?

No I don't think so, but it's better not to intentionally or unintentionally visit such websites as you can mistakenly click on the "Ignore this warning" button, which will directly land you on that website.

However, you can click on the "Why was this page blocked?" button for information to learn about the reasons this website was blocked.

Thanks :) It's too bad that a legitimate website I sometime use can be suddenly black-listed in such situations :/ *shrug*
