Sorry I am not an expert but I read lots of things about this stuff.
It seems that your method of browser detection is not the err very best.
Firefox disguises itself sometimes - and sometimes it needs to do so
when mean Proxys are serving Internet Explorer only!!.

BTW works fine with my Firefox 2.0 on Zenwalk.
This is impressive although I have to admit that one has to get used to it.
