Is there a way to navigate around the "noscript" tag? Usually it's used to warn people about their browser not supporting JavaScript (or, maybe, in some rare cases, to implement a HTML-only version), but some (bad) sites use it to force Firefox to redirect to an empty page that only contains the warning. I.e. you don't see anything - just the warning. Which is unfortunate, since it might have been enough to just read the contents of the first page you get (which is often readable even without JS being enabled).

Another question is why noscript is being interpreted at all (since Firefox with NoScript plugin DOES support support JS, just not every JS is enabled...).

It is normal, and often desirable, for a browser with JavaScript disabled to show the noscript tag contents. Actually, it would be great if more sites used this to show a scriptless version of their content, instead of breaking.
