I found this about that site, here:
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=752485&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=15

Confirmed with a 'real' Firefox Install ... Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux
i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008072820 Firefox/3.0.1 ID:2008072820
Won't let me in at all....

Hah.. I have found the reason .. the site is using SILVERLIGHT, which
is still not available for Linux (Its still only in development)

Silverlight is still flaky for Firefox 3, and I am not sure if it
works in SeaMonkey (It should really, as SeaMonkey is Gecko 1.8.*)

I think this has been mentioned elsewhere...
Stop it steviex , I can only use one of your quotes as a signature at
a time - malliz
Please DO NOT PM me for support... Lets keep it on the board, so we
can all learn.
