Is it acceptable to add "special," but unnecessary, content based on a user's web browser? For example, is it okay to display this:
at the top of my webpage for all IE users?

Different web browsers have different user interfaces and sometimes people will just gravitate to a particular feature or style more than others. For example, Safari has a sort of "pop-out" window for showing downloads which are in progress, whereas Chrome has a downloads interface which looks more like it's own tab.
#1) Firefox Mozilla Firefox or simply Firefox, although occupies third place in the global market share of browsers, is known to be more secure and faster than the most widely used PC Browser i.e. Chrome. Firefox has recently added a new feature that saves you from getting tracked while you work online.
Acceptable to whom? I personally think it's a sign of a rather lame site -- it's up there with that little construction guy sign from 1998 (remember that one?).
You sure can, if you want, but it's better to make your site as compliant as possible, and to use tools like YUI and jQuery to make your site more browser-agnostic.

These are two different things. Almost every professional web application is somewhat aware of the users's browser, and accommodates them so the experience is pretty much the same. Displaying "works better" disclaimers is a kind of confession that you were not able to make your site work with most browsers.
