I sent them a letter to [e-mail], telling them that allowing Firefox while blocking other Gecko browsers is not smart, and that they should remove the block altogether if they support all these browsers.

First, translation of the Hebrew text from comment #3 - 
The browser or the browser version you have is not supported by the site. You can view this site with one of the following surfers (The mistake is not mine - tc)

Well I have no account there, so I cannot check it further, but the main page works well and doesn't redircet me to a non-ie-block-page. So I guess the original issue was resolved.
