http://portal.chicagopolice.org is redirecting to
https://portal.chicagopolice.org, it is not firefox trying to do that.  In IE,
I eventually get redirected to http://home.chicagopolice.org/.  I'm not sure
what FF doesn't like about the https site, it's TLS 1.0, which is bad, but I
don't think FF outright blocks it.  Where did Mark get the link to portal?
