IE8 shows a notification bar asking whether you want to run the Flash plugin on this page or not. I wonder why that is so. Searching for embed- and object-tags on the page didn't give a result. 

Message reads as follows: 

"This website wants to run the following add-on: 'Adobe Flash Player' from 'Adobe Systems Incorporated'. If you trust the website and the add-on and want to allow it to run, click here..."

I can attach a screenshot if needed.

The page in question is (at least): https://addons.instantbird.org/

I can't reproduce on another computer (this one running Windows Vista, IE8) though, so maybe it is only a quirk of my old Windows XP machine.

I can't confirm this bug if it's on the Home Page, then I don't have this with IE8 on my computer.
