Ok, I tried creating a new profile, and yes, it sort-of fixed the
problem, in a way that might give more insight into what's going on.

So, I started Firefox with fire -Profile-Manger, created a new blank
profile, and navigated to the page again.  When I went to the https:
link leading to the Wiley Interscience database,
http://journalfinder.wtcox.com/uncg/logacce.asp?v=119&j=28808&u=https%3A%2F%2Flibrary%2Euncg%2Eedu%2Fdbs%2Fauth%2Fgoej%2Easp%3FejURL%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Einterscience%2Ewiley%2Ecom%2Fjpages%2F0960%2D7412
, I got an error indicating that Firefox "could not verify this
certificate for unknown reasons."  It's a Verisign certificate, but
doesn't appear to be in the defaults included with Firefox.  I am,
frankly, out of my depth here in knowing how to point you to the
certificate, but if you tell me how, I can probably find it.  For the
purpose of testing I established two exceptions and after doing that,
got through to the destination page, The Plant Journal on Wiley
InterScience.  Perhaps on my original profile something else bad is
happening with certificates and that's why I'm getting the error?
