I get that "encountered an error" too, but only if I leave the trailing 
'[1]' on the link. If I copy and paste the URL, it's fine.

My stuff is neither new nor ancient:

$ uname -mv
FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE #0 r274401: Tue Nov 11 21:02:49 UTC 2014 
root@releng1.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

$ pkg info | grep firefox
firefox-40.0.3,1 Web browser based on the browser portion of Mozilla

For me the redirect works as stated (less the trailing '[3]' and the 
leading and trailing '/').

Never a 404, though.
