Please not ask the author of that page. We don't know what their test does and why Firefox fails.

Actually, we do know what that site (http://turbotax.intuit.com/js/ttoReady.js) is doing:

checkBrowser()
isBrowserValid()
isFirefoxBrowser()   /* UA sniffing here */
isFirefox15() || isFirefox20()  /* UA sniffing again here */

That isn't invalid but a tech evangelism issue - and actually a duplicate of bug 332373.

verified dupe but it's still a good ID to complain there.
