We can do it by using the browser acl's type. They are using user-agent header to retrieve the browser types.
For mozila client it is,MOZILA . I am not known the keyword for I. explorer. May be IE?!
---- squid.conf setting ----
acl client_type browse ...
http_access deny client_type

There is a directory as "errors". It will contain some example error messages. You can write your own message.
To give the error message to specify as "Use a different client as like ...", use the deny_info TAG.
---- squid.conf setting ----
deny_info <ERROR_MESSAGE> client_type
