FWIW, I'm able to access the site with Firefox version 1.5.0.3 for Linux
by;

1.) Using the extension, "User Agent Switcher 0.6.8" & setting it to
    "Internet Explorer 6 (Windows XP)".

2.) Setting "network.http.sendRefererHeader" to 0 (zero) in about:config
    Note, the default setting is 2.

3.) Enabling cookies/java script. I usually keep these two disabled ;-)

As always, YMMV.
