Don't return a value, ie:

return;

Or, since the condition is a constant factor:

if($.browser.msie) {
    window.onload = function() {alert('Test');};
} else {
    window.onbeforeunload = function(event) {
        return 'Are you sure to quit?'; // <-- Message is displayed in *some* browsers
    }
}

If you're trying to implement a method which prevents the user from navigating away: There is no way to achieve that. It'd be a horrible experience to not be able to leave a page.
