Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
unfortunately (?) you'll need an account on this site to see the problem.  they send periodic emails asking you to complete a survey.  when you do that, and if Firfox is your default browser, you get the message: "We're sorry, this survey can only be taken using Microsoft Internet Explore version 6.0 or higher. 
Please re-open the original survey link in Microsoft Internet Explorer in order to continue."

I already did the right thing by emailing surveymaster@psbwebsurveys.com to advise them they should support more than just MS-IE.
Gene, was there any particular content in the survey like ActiveX that would cause us problems or is this just a brain dead browser detection (and developer) ?
