Hello Feras,

we do not have specific home grown application signatures for browsers such as (IE, firefox, safari). However you can try creating a custom application. Take a look at the following doc to get a feel of how you can do this....this doc does not specifically describe how to create a custom app for browsers, but it does describe how to create a custom application:

DOC-1512

You can also submit this as a feature request to your sales contact.

thank you,

For a specific example of a custom app for control specific browsers, see this example for MSIE 7.0 over in the DevCenter.
