Below is the error message I get. Note though that the same url (www.nytimes.com works perfectly in I.E. & Chrome).
Network Error (tcp_error)
A communication error occurred: "" The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time.

Yes, that is a known issue.
- In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
- Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page.
- Enter security.mixed_content.block_active_content in the filter.
- Double click it and it should turn bold, and say false.
- Refresh New York Times and if needed restart firefox.
The problem exists with https://www.nytimes.com/ so, as a workaround, you can use http://www.nytimes.com/ (not https) or http://nytimes.com where I don't see the problem.
Related bug report, if anyone wants to keep track, so that they can reset the security.mixed_content.block_active_content preference, when it's fixed (read Bugzilla Etiquette before commenting in bug reports):
- Bug 862164 - https://www.nytimes.com/ does not render properly because of mixed content blocking
type about:config then type: security.mixed_content.block_active_content in the filter bar and choose false. its work for me
