Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to mil04s43-in-f1.1e100.net

Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN

Likely having to do with the cert being for *.googleusercontent.com, and that is decidedly not *.googleusercontent.com
The link is bad from a web browser POV so that's correct - it's using the DNS name from the ip address reverse lookup, but the web server cert there identifies to a different Google DNS name which would point to the same address. (But the point was to point to this CDN node and you can't really link to it on HN in any other way)
I don't understand, can you explain?
Likewise, here in aus on a FireFox 131.0.3
