The site is obviously written by morons then.

I am shocked to think that you may really not realise what you're asking. Of course not. Microsoft provides .NET and they write IE so that it supports being used as a component in .NET. FF will never work that way. You could try embedding FF in a window, using p/invoke calls, and hope that it has some sort of COM interface, or perhaps write an add in you can use to access it's functionality, but there is no way that FF will magically support the WebBrowser control functionality in .NET.
