Assuming the problem is their code checking your browser and preventing 
something (rather than code that doesn't work in Mozilla, period):

put about:config into your Mozilla location bar.  Scroll down to 
general.useragent.override.  Context menu -> Modify and set it to 
Mozilla/4.0 (MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0) which will mimic IE.

This gets me around sites that do checking for IE features and deny 
others.  But I've had problems on sites that send different javascript 
based on browser.  Then I get the IE version that doesn't work.

I don't expect this to work for you, but you can try it.  You could also 
try a different browser like Opera.
