This is going to be redirection after redirection.  This hostname is hardcoded into the EU Browser Ballot "tool" from Microsoft.   This is never entered directly by an end user.

I suspect this should be part of an exception.

http://browserchoice.mozilla.com/ returns a 404 (no homepage). Do we need to fix this site, or can we just remove the remaining config and WONTFIX this bug?

Copying cmore to make a decision about archiving the site.

The site was a Firefox 4 promotional website and is no longer valid. Remove the config.

I thought browserchoice.mozilla.org was part of the EU Ballot package. bug 813731 seems to imply that the one that users actually hit is www.browserchoice.eu, so I guess that's why we can kill it.
