Firefox with an IE Twist

I've been using firefox for a while now, but some sites just work better in IE (read SharePoint and Outlook Web).

I've used extensions that let you open a link in IE from firefox, but thats still annoying so Ive just resorted to leaving an IE window open for the times I need it, until now.

There is a firefox extension that lets you open a page with IE as the renderer in a tab!!  Its called IE Tab and I'm converted.

Yep, IE Tab is absolutely brilliant, though unfortunately, it's not perfect. I find popups don't open correctly inside (not that you'd want them anyway, but being a web developer working with clients who want them...)

Still, a great extension and a must-have! :-)

Hey Ofer. Firefox is my primary browser and on occassions that I need to view a site in IE, I just right click and select "View in IE", which will open the current page in a new IE window. Very convenient. I've tried IE Tab but it was buggy and clunky to mix IE's ui and rendering within a firefox tab.
