Reproducible with SeaMonkey 1.1.2 and SeaMonkey 2.0a1/20070707, but WFM with Firefox 2.0.0.4 and SeaMonkey when I change the User Agent string (about:config > general.useragent.extra.seamonkey) to something with 'Firefox' in it. Moving this bug to Product:Tech Evangelism, Component:English US.

I don't actually see this on Camino, oddly enough, nor do I see any browser-sniffing code in the JS on that site.

The site also works when I add 'Mac' to the User Agent string.

The 'Plugs' results page has, towards the end (line 771), a script that starts with '<!-- OPTIMOST TRIAL CODE V2.6 - Copyright 2002-2007 Optimost LLC -->', it seems that it looks for both 'mac' and 'firefox'. The function dcsJV() in http://www.thomasnet.com/javascript/dcs_tn_070607-01.js also seems to look for those words.
