Browserquest keeps loading

Browserquest (http://browserquest.mozilla.org) doesn't work on Firefox, Chromium under Linux. It keeps showing a red loading symbol (as can be seen in the image). Why? How do I get it to load?

Are you talking about when Firefox starts or the home page?

Type about:config<enter> in the address bar. If a warning screen comes up, press the I Accept the Risk button. At the top of the screen is a search bar. Type browser.startup.homepage

What is the value? Right-click and select Reset to restore its default value; about:home

Same on Windows. I think that site might be obsolete. The fact that it is set up only on HTTP rather than HTTPS makes me think it hasn't been updated for a long time. The console shows it tries to retrieve from links that no longer exist.
