I would suggest that the ASP.NET code is doing a validity check against the browser and programatically decides not to display to you.
ASP.NET is capable of sending back different responses in order for different browsers to render the same content according to the browser's capabilities.

There does not appear to be any flash animations on that page so I reckon it's not Firefox, it's the server not liking firefox.

You could verify this by finding a machine with windows and trying to connect to this site with Firefox on a Windows machine.

OK here is a little trick

Install the user agent switcher for firefox from here

http://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/59

(click on add to firefox and then click on install now)

after installing click on tools > User agent switcher > Internet explorer 7

to make firefox look like IE

Bhavani Shankar.

Hmm, I thought Bhavani's idea would work.
Looks like it is a poorly designed website if it requires a single browser.
