Selenium Firefox issues on Win7

Question

I'm running mvn test (using Maven 3) on the arquillian-examples arquillian drone tutorial.

I get the following error on Win7 (using jdk 1.6.0.26).

14:54:46.002 INFO - Preparing Firefox profile...

I'd like to either: (a) get firefox working; or (b) get it working in IE. Any suggestions?

This is how I got around it - but I'm open to a solution that answer the core issue and will mark that as the answer.

I modifed the file here: \arquillian-examples\arquillian-drone-tutorial\src\test\resources

To add:

<extension qualifier="selenium">
    <property name="browser">*iexplore</property>
</extension>
