It simply because http://www.bbc.co.uk/technology/ tries to redirect to http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/default.stm/ - note the trailing slash in both which makes it not work.
Doing http://www.bbc.co.uk/technology works in Opera and IE as it redirects to http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/default.stm - but Firefox keeps putting the trailing slash back in and then 403's. As I write, it now doesn't work in Opera - so someone is obviously tinkering in the background.
