Actually, the site works fine in Firefox, if you just lie to it and tell it you're using Netscape, like so:
- type in 'about:config' in the location bar
- scroll down to the 'general.useragent.override' preference
- change the value to: 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040804 Netscape/7.2'
- load the veepers page
When you're done, do the following to set it back to the default:
- type in 'about:config' in the location bar (again)
- scroll down to the 'general.useragent.override' preference (again)
- right-click the preference name and choose 'reset'
