      2. Close all the browsers(IE and any other non IE browsers if open).
      3. Clear cache,delete offline content,check task manager to see if any iexplorer is still running.
      4. Now open a fresh IE and test,the questions should be displayed.

      Release Regression From : 6u7
      The above release value was the last known release where this
      bug was not reproducible. Since then there has been a regression.
      Developed 2 tests to cover 6790391.

      Added 2 tests in sqe workspace to verify whether there is a "browser" system property in plugin, whose value is "sun.plugin"
