I agree that it's a total pain in the neck.

On the Centos list I was given this url:

 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1245441&page=4

which takes you to a discussion that tells you how to fix the problem 
using the firefox user agent switcher add-on.

It works on my Centos box, but I tried the same on F11 on my eeepc and
it didn't solve it there. I make no guarantees, but you may want to look
into it 'cause maybe you'll be the lucky one where it works! :)
