But what do you do when people decided to block which version of a browser you are using in an environment and force you to use Internet Explorer?

You look for a Firefox plugin of course! :) There is a plugin from Firefox called the User Agent Switcher. This plugin allows you to make Firefox impersonate a different web browser such as IE 6, 7 or 8. Some of the other things you can do is impersonate search robots which is great for search engine optimization.

I have to say Firefox has been a heck of a lot more stable than it ever has been for me. It is now my default browser of choice and with all these extra add-ons it is making my browsing life extremely easy!
