Selenium JAVA xPath Firefox与Internet Explorer

Question

I am working with the RemoteWebDriver, Firefox the Selenium IDE and JAVA.

From the start I run the IDE to check and debug the web page. I got an xpath the value like this using the IDE:

driver.get(baseUrl + "/url?value=something");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//li[@onclick='menu.open(this)'])[4]")).click();

...using JAVA with RemoteWebDriver and findElementByPath(...) or findElement(By.xpath(...)) I got the exception:

EXCEPTION: Unable to find element with xpath == (//li[@onclick='menu.open(this)'])[4]

I played with the value and try those by IDE and by JAVA:

    (//li[@onclick='menu.open(this)'])[4]
    and
    //li[@onclick='menu.open(this)'][4]

With IDE it works with JAVA not...

Update and correction!

I modified the test program to use Firefox instead IE (Version 11) and it works. What is the different handling in using xpath with IE and Firefox? Or more generally which browser works with xpath in which way and the same value?

Update

The page is running in IE Version 7 mode. May this causes the trouble?!?
