@mha007:
The OP is on Linux, so solutions that apply to the Windows platform won't help.
Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
- Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
- Edit > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

It is possible that servers get confused by your Ubuntu branded user agent with "Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic)".
- Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.17) Gecko/20110422 Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) Firefox/3.6.17
You can try this user agent instead to see if that helps.
- Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.17) Gecko/20110422 Firefox/3.6.17
You can set that user agent via the pref general.useragent.override on the about:config page.
You need to update that pref after each update of Firefox or install the version from the Mozilla site instead to avoid that modification of the user agent.
- Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
- Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
