As of two days ago, my browser has been doing the strangest thing in relation to ONE website.

I have no idea what's going on here and can't find any evidence online of anyone having similar problems.

I'm on Firefox 9 / Mac running Leopard and can't think of anything I've downloaded that might cause this behaviour or, if it's some sort of malware, WHY it might be designed to do this.

Weirdest thing EVER.

Anyone with any ideas as to what could be going on?
