One thing that has always bugged me in the past was that Windows Update, Sharepoint intranets, and other Microsoft-specific sites always required IE to run. Technically, it’s because VBScript and WShell scripts are used in those sites (the validity of that is a totally separate topic). However, what to do if you use FireFox as your daily browser, and hate switching over to IE just to browse some fool’s site?
Well, as long as you are running Windows, this solution should work for you: the IE Tab Firefox add-on.
With it you can switch from Firefox to IE mode and back with the click of your mouse. A little Firefox icon is displayed in the lower right corner of the Firefox browser after installing this add-on. Click on that, and it turns into an IE icon, and refreshes your page, running it in IE within Firefox!
Oh! And for those of you running Minefield (Firefox 3.x Alpha), it claims to work in it as well.
This has become one of my FF necessities!
