You can always have Firefox lie for you.

there is a command that you can use on the address line that will show
all of firefox's configuration.  about:conifg

Using this you can delete, add or modify the configuration to fit what
you want it to do.

I set mine to respond as "Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP"

You might want to google this but from my memory here are the steps:

on address line enter 'about:config' and enter.  This will give you a
list of current settings.  

Do a ^f (search) and look for useragent to see if
general.useragent.override is there.

If so, right click and select edit/modify and set it to read 
'Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP'.

if not right click and select new then string and enter 
'general.useragent.override'

for the value enter 'Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP'

close the window.  open a new window and type about:
under the version number it should show your new setting.

I have not had any more problems with browser rejection.
