https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59

(click on add to firefox -> Install Now)

after installation Tools -> user agent switcher -> Internet explorer 7

to make FF look like IE (since asp framework is an MS technology some websites will be designed for IE)

and try

I guess it doesn't help, because agent switcher just changes the User-Agent header and nothing else. I guess also that site doesn't work on Windows and latest version of Firefox. ASP is a server side technology, it just generates content to the browser. The case is to inform site owner that site doesn't work on version of Firefox which you use.

You can try to install Opera browser and try to load this site, another case is install IEs4Linux:

You can also install Windows as a virtual machine in VirtualBox, VMWare, KVM or XEN.

User-Agent didnt soloved the problem, i also tried to install Firefox 3 for windows wia wine (site works from MS windows with Firefox 3) - that didnt work too but IEs4Linux do the trick its a little slow but WORKS!
I didnt try the opera but i will.
