This is a bug in the page (wrong UA detection) and not in Firefox.
They incorrectly sniff for Firefox instead of Gecko.

Please point the webmaster of that oage to http://geckoisgecko.org/

Where the heck are they assuming that anything in

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en; rv:1.9.0.18pre) Gecko/2010012100 Camino/2.1a1pre

is equivalent to "Mozilla 1.0.9" (which AFAIK never existed...oh, duh, never mind... :-p)?

Brilliant.
