Why does the site kick you to an 'unsupported browser' page if you use Firefox?
I spoofed my user agent to be MSIE 6.0 and the site works perfectly fine and looks the same as it does when I pull it up in IE 6.0.

All the systems at my work run Windows 2000 and we can't install Firefox. But I blame the IT department for that, and not microsoft. Although tabbed browsing would have been nice.
