The site is blocking you, there isn't much Firefox can do. You can likely use an extension such as User Agent Switcher (http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/index.php?showtopic=156) to get past the blocking.
(In reply to comment #0) don't bother trying to get around to shabby useragent detection script, the content of the site will only display in a microsoft browser: <html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:p="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:powerpoint" xmlns:oa="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:activation" ... All you can do is notify the site designers that they are not being nice to non-IE users.
Domain looks like it's gone. FIXED?
Yep, domain is gone.
