visit https://pubs.aaas.org/Promo/promo_setup_rd.asp?dmc=p6demo with the current beta and you will see a tls warning displayed at the top of the page:
ALERT: It appears you are connecting to our site with an outdated Web browser that does not support the latest encryption technology. At some point in the near future, AAAS/Science will not allow outdated browsers to view secure Web content or make online purchases. Please make sure you are using a Web browser that supports the latest encryption technology (TLS 1.1 or TLS 1.2) to avoid this issue. Thank you!
the released version does not cause this warning, nor does chrome
The website is doing broken UA sniffing. If you install the add-on User Agent Switcher in FF47 and set the UA with the one of FF46 (or vice versa), the message disappears (or appears).
Firefox 46+ are fully compatible with the certificate of this website:

There is no warning on https://pubs.aaas.org/Promo/promo_setup_rd.asp, so I assume that the issue has been fixed.
