It is to do with user agent sniffing, Orkut does not recognise Firefox 4 as being Firefox so treats it as an unsupported browser. It will be down to Orkut to update their site so that it recognises Firefox 4.

Firefix should also reach Orkut and ask for this na! What can we do?

It's just to setup a new option "general.useragent.override" in about:config, with value as "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b5) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/3.6.6"
