I know there was some sort of explanation given for this,

but I am rather lazy, and if someone suggests a piece of software,
and gives an URL for it,
and when I go to that URL I get an error
I am unlikely to pursue the matter unless it is vital to my health.

that wasn't an error...that was Firefox presenting you with it's intent
to deny access to the web page you asked to see because it uses a
self-signed certificate instead of a certificate signed by a trusted
agent. At some point, it would behoove you to understand the difference.
In fact, the cause of the error -
I call it an error because it says PAGE LOAD ERROR at the top of the page -
is irrelevant to me.
It shouldn't be irrelevant to you - it was your choice not to accept
their self-signed certificate that caused what you see as an error.
If I were very interested in ScientificLinux I might have tried
to diagnose the cause,
but since I am not I simply categorized it
with web-pages that I cannot read because they are pink with blue text.
Doubtless I could change the colours if I were sufficiently interested.
Their colors are just fine, as is their choice to encrypt with a
self-signed certificate. Your choice not to accept the page might also
be reasonable if you understood why you did it...
