It's better to tell them you're using the Windows version of Firefox or

That is true but in the cases I used that, it required not only M$ but
also IE. Having it set to Firefox or something would be safer as you
point out, if IE is not also required.
Well I tried channel5 website with a changed FF useragent string, by adding
a general.useragent.override key in about:config
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0
and it still failed.
Then tried a MSIE useragent string:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko
and continue to get the same error:
"To view this page ensure that Adobe Flash Player version 15.0.0 or greater is
installed."
:-(
As already pointed out, you need Google Chrome which comes with recent
Flash. You can override the User-agent there too and use a Windows
Chrome string.
