Wirless Connection with Linux

Hi

I am trying to connect to a free wifi provided by Toronto Reference.
In order to use the connection, I have to go to the following website
"http://spyders.local/aaa/tpl_login.html".

In windows when I open firefox and click on a url, it normally would
take me to that url. This is not the case in Linux.

How do i overcome this issue?

Thanks in advance.
