From the page:

     NS4 = (document.layers);
     IE4 = (document.all);
    ver4 = (NS4 || IE4);
	 IE5 = (IE4 && navigator.appVersion.indexOf("5.")!=-1);
   isMac = (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Mac") != -1);
  isMenu = (NS4 || (IE4 && !isMac) || (IE5 && isMac));

So the site arbitrarily decides that no browsers except IE4+/Windows, IE5+/Mac
and NS4 can handle the menus.  Any other browser (eg. Mozilla) is simply not
given the menu code by the site.
