What would be cool was, instead of it closing, you put your referral link to download Firefox on it (I'd only restrict IE) so that way people will be downloading and installing FF with your referral link, which should start to make you a hefty dollar...but I guess that would also depend on your audience, whether they are computer illiterate or not.

Brilliant... ban 80% of potential visitors to your site...

Exactly.

We have a MOTM nomination link. Pity there isn't a link for Dumbest MOTM (DMOTM)...

Great hack!

But if I want this only effect on the showthread of specified forum only, is there any option to select these forum ?

Yes you can edit the template and wrap a condition around it.

Why isnt AOL on the list?

Interesting. Does a large majority of the internet use Firefox over IE? Because my forum has certain things Firefox users can not do and use. I feel like restricting Firefox users but there wouldn't be much point if half or most of the internet users use Firefox. Thanks for the help.
