Opening A Firefox Link In Internet Explorer
If you are a Firefox user, you know certain websites are quirky or just simply will not work correctly in Firefox (such as Windows Update), and you simply have to use Internet Explorer. While these websites are somewhat few and far between, they exist none-the-less.
You have several ways of handling this sites like this:
* Launch IE and paste the URL you want to access.
* Use an extension which utilizes the IE engine in a Firefox tab, such as IE Tab.
* (My preferred method) Use the the IE View extension which allows you to right click on a link (or the current page) and select “Open In IE”. Doing this launches Internet Explorer to the location you have selected.
Both IE Tab and IE View allow you to set certain URL’s to always open in IE so you don’t have to invoke the function each time. I prefer IE View simply because it uses IE to view the page since it launches the browser totally. There is no intepretation, simulation or middleman to IE behavior…
