There is this website that I would like to have access to, but when I try and open it with Firefox it says it only supports

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0, 5.5 or 6.0
Netscape Navigator/Communicator 4.7x

and only supports OS's:

Microsoft Windows 95 (with Service Pack 1)
Microsoft Windows 98
Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0 (with Service Pack 6)
Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional (with Service Pack )
Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Apple Macintosh 9.x
Sun OS 5.8 / Solaris 8
HP-UX 10.20

I thought I read somewhere that you can spoof Firefox's browser environment variables so that it looks like IE and windows, but I can't seems to find anything like that on google. I thought maybe I could spoof it to look like Netscape and Solaris and maybe it would let me open the website. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check out this thread - http://justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=137513

It talks about a user agent switcher for Firefox 1.0

That user agent switcher is exactly what I was looking for. I wish firefox would mention it on their webiste. Thanks again.
