you can use a conditional check

<!--[if IE]>
please open this web in firefox and you can download Mozilla Firefox from <a href='here'>here</a>
<![endif]-->

or you could try adding a js/programming check

If you prefer Javascript, you can check the userAgent.

if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('MSIE')>0) {
    document.write('do something');
};

MSIE is the indicator for Microsoft Internet Explorer
