I've come across a few IE specific pages where the problem is the page makes way too much use of Windows specific JavaScript functions.
Clear Tools>Error Console, load the page, and see if you get a first undefined function. If there is a lot of IE specific JavaScript you may be looking at a tough chore because essentially you will have to rewrite those functions so they run in Firefox. You will need to look at all the JavaScript involved - that included between <script> tags or loaded by <script> tags to tell how big the problem is. I off hand don't know a good resource for recognizing Windows specific JavaScript functions. Maybe if you if post the URL of your problem page someone more knowledgeable can tell you if this is the problem and how big it is.
