The prefetch is what is getting you.

They have a "Hoover-trap" built into their pages with a link which
MUST_NOT_BE_FOLLOWED.  IF you follow it (or the pre-fetch does), you are
deep-sixed by IP and you get the Mass Downloading notice.

I'm not sure why it is working for one and not the other unless
Mozilla is the source of the pre-fetch.
