You can install PrefBar (excellent toolbar anyway):
http://prefbar.mozdev.org/
and try to browser spoof the site by changing your User Agent to IE.

However I would instead make a complaint directly to the website contact
and politely refer them to the following URLS:

http://geckoisgecko.org/
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Browser_Detection_and_Cross_Browser_Support

for further information on how they can correctly detect Gecko browsers.
Remind them (politely please) that fixing the problem will enable
users such as yourself to continue using their site & services. They are
afterall in the business of attracting & accommodating site visitors &
subscribers and if you can't use all features on their site you may
eventually take your business elsewhere...
