I am still prevented by Google from opening this site using Firefox. The security warnings, that this site tries to place dangerous material in my computer, must be deterring many visitors.
I have sent a question to administration about this but have had no answer.
Is this issue going to be resolved?
I have switched to the dreaded Internet Explorer to access the site but feel nervous about doing to while this issue stays unresolved. And I notice that a thread started by another felllow Forum member about this issue seems to have been removed without any explanation.
What's going on?

It may take some time to get this resolved with Google. In the meantime, access to HTF using IE is not a problem, and it does not appear that there is any risk involved. I have been using IE all day to access HTF and each time I have run Malwarebytes afterwards. Nothing problematic or even suspicious has been detected.

Well, it WAS a problem especially via Safari. I can't even open Internet Explorer on my mac. You'd get the error warning every single time you'd try to go to a new page - I'd say that's a pretty big problem and let's not pretend that the traffic here hasn't suffered from it. The good news is it seems to be fixed now.

Nothing is fixed until Liquid Web, the hosting company, update their Apache software as currently it is an invitation to hackers, being able to get into the site is fine, no problems there, behind the scenes there is clearly an issue needing resolved.

Google Liquid Web and hacking, this isn't the first time for them, it probably won't be the last.
