JavaScript not being suppressed on website?

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.

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.
