I did a quick search on this. It probably has something to do with the 
browser thinking the site doesn't have a proper certificate or something 
like that. The browser requires you to approve an exception to an 
improper certificate but is failing to give you the prompt to do so. The 
site might have worked in Internet Explorer but failed in Firefox or Chrome.

I don't know if it makes any difference to "know" the reason but that's 
likely pretty close to the reason.

Regards,

Jay
