When attempting to view video streaming from MSNBC the screen changes to
download software options (IE, media players). I have all of these installed. If
I access MSNBC via IE, there is no problem. Although I access the net via
Firefox, I still have IE resident and as default browser. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. NA
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
NA (see above)

Expected Results:  
Loaded video from existing drivers via Firefox. Apparently this site sees that
you are accessing it via a non-IE browser.
