I am using the user agent switcher on Firefox 1.5.0.1 on Ubuntu 5.10
https://addons.mozilla.org/addon.php?id=59

It works fine for me if I select IE6 on XP

I don't have my access code yet to fill out the application to test it all the 
way through, but I get that far at least.

On the census site the browser requirements are as follows:

# Microsoft Internet Explorer can be downloaded from the Microsoft Web site.
# Netscape Navigator can be downloaded from the Netscape Web site.
# Firefox can be downloaded from the Mozilla Web site.
# Mozilla can be downloaded from the Mozilla Web site.
# MacIntosh users can download the appropriate version of Safari from the 
Apple Web site.

I can get it to load in default Firefox if I go directly to the page after 
browser detection

It may or may not work though.
