I did not see any suspicious code on the linked page, although it's possible it was in an advertisement on the page and you were just unlucky.

Tomcat: can you try this URL in a Windows VM? Thanks.

I have not tried it any more since I have switched browser to Chrome because it is so much faster than Firefox and now also has AdBlock.
