I think I have an idea what is causing this, but it would still be helpful if you run at log level debug and attach the log file. You can set the log level by adding these arguments to your command:
--loglevel DEBUG

The page you are being served has language that makes it likely it is being served from an instance of IIS. Selenium is a client/server web application. The webdriver Firefox plugin that is automatically included when launching Firefox is also a web server. It seems like Selenium is trying to talk to that server and hitting an instance of IIS. This may be due to your proxy settings. As webdriver will use the proxy to talk to the local server if they are set. Try disabling all proxy settings to see if that is the problem. If the proxy is the problem and you need to use it there are ways to avoid proxying the traffic between the webdriver client and server - see https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/robotframework-users/dwYP_30Dyi4.

Maybe your firefox is using a proxy, and the proxy return a 404 response

Yes it looks like an issue with a proxy like I first thought. I posted the wrong link in my first reply. See https://groups.google.com/d/msg/robotframework-users/Xhpho8voSLg/ZuzTTlLPvj0J for ways to avoid proxying WebDriver traffic.
Also note there is a Selenium issue entered for the same issue.
