Download and install the User Agent Switcher extension for Firefox: 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59.

Once you've restarted Firefox, do Tools -> User Agent Switcher -> 
Internet Explorer 7. Now Firefox tells the web server that it is IE7. I 
don't use that site but I predict it will work perfectly well :-)
