There is an extension IEVIEW that could add to your mozilla to 
help you see some of those site.  I hope this helps.

What's the point of having an opinion on it?  They've cut off roughly 
13% of their potential users.  Hopefully (for them) they weighed their 
options before they did so.  In their case, it seems that they used 
DRM'd media that's only supported on Windows.  Whether or that was a 
stupid decision on their part is their own calculus.  Us debating the 
wisdom of it is rather pointless.
