The browser is not lying, Firefox does not know any details of the "Microsoft Secure Server Authority" issuer because the server was not configured to send the intermediate certificates. (It chains to the "GTE Cyber Trust Global Root" which Firefox does support, but Firefox has no way of knowing that if the server doesn't tell it.)
