It seems that you're using an outdated browser. Some things may not work as they should (or don't work at all).
We suggest you upgrade newer and better browser like: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Opera

OK, I got a clarification from Venom, our main webdev...

TL;DR: clear Firefox's history and it will work.

We had to change our network infrastructure so that now https://www.gog.com no longer works (and it's impossible to implement a redirect or custom error message). This much you already know, and here's where Firefox makes it interesting.

Because Firefox wants what is best for you :P it will always choose a HTTPS connection if possible. It determines the "if possible" part by checking your history. If you type in "gog.com" in the all-knowing address/search magic bar, and you visited https://www.gog.com/ at some point in the past, it will _always_ choose the https:// address for you, which in turn leads you to an error page.

Long story short, you need to either clear your browsing history (and from personal experience I know this does not always work in Firefox), or manually remove all entries starting with https://www.gog.com/ . I will see if I can contact the Firefox folk and check if they can fix it on your end.

Having the same issue. I've tried clearing all Gog-related entries out of my history but haven't had any luck. I'm hesitant to clear my entire history, though, since I've grown fond of using Firefox's address bar for most of my browsing.
It also happened to me, but only when my internet connection is slowed and then, only when I use Bing.
Most likely because it tries to connect with https://?
I've had this issue before.

Remove the s from https and connect through http://gog.com

--edit--
I see the dev's already beat me to it.

Why on earth would you use Bing?
