Very useful Firefox add-on

A common problem for some Firefox users is poorly designed sites that only work properly in Internet Explorer. Apparently some have found that WP 2.8 is this way (BAD! if true). Also people putting up sites need to know how their site appears in both browsers.

This add-on embeds IE in tabs in Firefox. A Firefox icon will be installed in the lower right corner of the browser, click it, it changes to the blue e and you are now in Internet Explorer within Firefox.

Also, when you right click a link from your bookmarks (or anywhere) you have an option to open the link in an IE tab.

You may find this a must have addon, I do. Hit a page that won't load properly, click the icon, poof, it's perfect.
