User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032609 Firefox/3.0.8

I access my work using a VPN and Microsoft Remote Access.  This is a two stage process.  The first is accessing the VPN.  This is described in the properties as LT2P IPSec VPN.

When I am browsing certain sites the window that allows access to the VPN is somehow prompted and appears on the screen as if I have double clicked the shortcut on the desktop.  At the same time the browser freezes and won't restart until I cancel the VPN prompt.  It only happens on some sites.  One that does seem to cause the problem regularly is http://www.mathletics.co.nz/.
