The usual technique for this is to change the "User-Agent" string that the browser sends the server. Unfortunately, I'm not so sure Mozilla has this capability built in. I know Konqueror will nicely emulate other browsers though. Maybe someone has found the mozilla option that I'm missing though.
This is not a valid solution. A better solution would be to email the web developer in charge of said website and harrass him, or ask nicely, whichever you prefer.
But in a pinch, enter "about:config" in your address bar. This is a long list of mozilla prefrences. (I'm using MozillaFirebird, but they shouldnt be too different). Scroll down and find the prefs starting with "general.useragent.*" and change their associated values.
To return to full-superiority mode, you can edit your
~/.mozilla/default/*/prefs.js file and remove the lines refrencing the prefrences you changed.
