CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

IE Tab is a Web developer's dream, and it's a must-have for Firefox users who are sick of firing up Internet Explorer to view IE-only Web sites. Version 1.2 introduced an even-easier-to-use interface. The old methods still work, as in right-clicking a link to access the View in IE Tab option, or pasting the link directly into the interface options.

Now, IE Tab installs a Firefox logo on the browser's bottom taskbar. Left-clicking it re-opens the current page in IE. Middle-clicking opens the current page in a new tab with the IE engine. Right-clicking shows the site's filter, which allows you to always open listed sites in an IE tab. The new functions make switching among IE tabs and Firefox painless and smooth, even if the Options menu takes a bit to get used to. Most importantly, it minimizes the amount of time needed to switch between Firefox and IE, a feature all Firefox users can appreciate.

Version: IE Tab 1.0.8

"Excellent for Firefox"

by ExtremeDownloader on February 18, 2006

Pros: Non-compliant sites can be browsed with this extension. Microsoft Update can be run from Firefox, so can a lot of Microsoft products and services. Toolbar button and status bar button make it easier to switch quickly. New windows using IE can be used if you CTRL+Click the button. And best of all, it doesn't need to be IE! It can be a "secure IE browser" such as Avant Browser.

Cons: Nothing at all.
