Get an addon that will spoof the "User Agent" like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-rg/

Been a few years since I've had to use that old trick though, like back in the Netscape, Mozilla/Phoenix/FireBird and Camino days where sites would complain that you weren't running IE6.
