Top Ten 2007: #9: IE Tab Plug-in for Mozilla’s Firefox web browser
As we mentioned in #10 on this Top Ten list, one of the great things about Mozilla’s Firefox is the hundreds of add-ons, written by third-party companies and individuals that take Firefox from Excellent to The Best. We use many add-ons, but if we had to select one, indispensable add-on that everyone surfing the Internet with Firefox should have, it is IE Tab by Hong Jen Yee.
There are STILL some web sites, most of which use either .asp or .aspx scripting languages, that don’t work quite right in Firefox and for which you would normally need to crank up Internet Explorer to make full (or in some cases, any) use of. A perfect example is Microsoft’s own Windows Update page.
But with IE Tab installed, you CAN run Windows Update right from Firefox. The ultimate compatibility test.
