IE Tab plugin

Posted by sujay on August 30th, 2006 — Posted in time-savers, browser, freeware

I use Firefox for almost all of my browsing except while checking my outlook webmail and participating in ClickToMeet conferencing. The webmail outlook version has more added functionality in Internet Explorer while it renders poorly in Firefox. For example, I cannot do a search on my emails using the Firefox version of webmail. It is rather annoying to open up IE just to check email instead of pressing control-T to open a new browser tab. A quick search on Google (I did not ‘google’) led me to the IE Tab plugin. Using IE Tab you can specify what sites you want to be rendered in IE and on opening the site in Firefox will open a tab rendering the page in Internet Explorer. The whole process is transparent. Yes, you can even run Windows updates! within the Firefox screen now.

If you are one of those folks trying to get your grandparents and parents to switch to Firefox just to avoid their machines from getting infected and avoid those nasty-pop-up-causing-trojans, then this is a must-use plugin
