Always spoof your user agent string, for firefox the setting is general.useragent.override

Maybe now, not really sure if there are now changes (hopefully, since Microsoft is dropping IE), but in a time where browser plugins are abound you can't place an ActiveX plugin inside Firefox (or vice versa).
