This afternoon, I was doing some planning and visited the website of a local restaurant and was redirected to a website that Firefox flagged as a suspected malware site. I did a wget of the home page and it appears that there is suspicious javascript in the home page. However, what I don't understand is why the redirect happened. Neither the restaurant's website nor the blacklisted site is set as trusted.
Any thoughts?
The site is http://www.ir ish lion.com. I added spaces to keep it from being clickable.
EDIT: This is Firefox running on Win7 64-bit.

Re: JavaScript not being suppressed on website?
Redirections do not necessarily require JavaScript.
They can be achieved also through HTTP headers or META elements.
The important thing is that the landing malicious site was not allowed.
