Hi Scotty,
Unfortunately Majesty palms don't do that well as houseplants. The reason the leaf tips are turning brown is because it's a heavy feeder. You will need palm fertilizer and need to feed it monthly. Take a look at these sites for some helpful info. See #6 at this first site.

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.
