Deinstalled the Switcher.

Actually, you're running a Gecko-based browser, so you want to
spoof Firefox. If the site is sending IE-specific code when it
thinks you're running IE (because you spoofed it that way), then
you'll get code your browser can't run.
Just so you understand, the spoofer doesn't make your browser
*act* like the browser you're spoofing. It just makes your
browser *say* it's the browser you're spoofing.
You'll want User Agent Switcher. If I were you, I would install
it and learn to use it.
By the way, it doesn't come with any Firefox user agent settings.
You'll need to get your own and add them to it. You can search
(using Google or similar) for "User Agent Strings" to find lots
of them available.
OK, I tried User Agent Switcher but there's no Firefox setting in it as
installed and I don't understand how to update it to add just Firefox. I
then tried Prefbar and got essentially the same result; no Firefox
setting and no clear way to update it. There's probably some forum to go
to for help with extensions, right?

I use this very handy reference site with User Agent Switcher -
http://www.useragentstring.com/
Just go to the List of User Agent Strings, and copy the one you'd like
to spoof. Then open User Agent Switcher, select Edit User Agents->New
and paste in the new string.
Really slick and easy once you get the hang of it, and the website above
does a good job of telling you what the contents/syntax of a User Agent
string actually mean - I've even hacked up one or two of my own for
Safari that weren't listed on the site at the time.
