You need to change the user-agent string.  Ultimately I think it's a
setting somewhere in ~/.mozilla, but the easiest way to do it is to
install the Mozilla Evangelism sidebar. One of them has a whole list of
user agent strings that you can change to.

It seems to be here: http://mozilla-evangelism.bclary.com/sidebars/ but
that site looks different from the last time I installed the sidebar,
and Mozilla sidebars don't work with Mozilla Firebird so I can't test it
here.

If someone does test it, can you follow up confirming whether that's the
sidebar that lets you set your user-agent string.
