The BOM website only works when accessed via HTTP and not via secure HTTPS.

If a secure connection is forced then this website doesn't work and you get a warning page that a secure connection isn't supported.

Are you possibly using Private Browsing mode (Always use Private Browsing mode; Never Remember History) as that might be a cause for this website not working ?

If you use PB mode then try to set this pref to false about:config page.

  • about:config => dom.security.https_first_pbm = false

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can click the button to "Accept the Risk and Continue".
