Each state has its own basis and it generally depends on total time worked in a base period (generally of 5 calendar quarters) and the amount of wages earned in that period. In other words, employment before the temp agency, could qualify you. Also, the reason for the firing plays an important part in the decision.

Can you collect unemployment if you work through an agency?

Yes you can, but they don't pay anyway. The only way you can collect unemployment if you had a full time position and lost it (no fault of your own). You can't collect if you decided to work through an agency. They are temp work only. There is no guarantee that they will find you work every time you finish "a job" and is on their waiting list. You have to report your wages anyway. So, probably not.

Should you put a temp agency on your resume if you had an argument with someone at that office?

Yes, even if the temp agency didn't assign you to any projects. When you enter a temp agency and fill out the paper work, you become an on-call employee while they try to find you work. If the company you are currently applying for does an in depth background check (usually high-end corporate jobs, government jobs or jobs that require you to be bonded) sees the temp agency listed and its not on your resume, they may disqualify your resume.
