IE tab - Firefox Extension
I was reading Alex Walker's blog at sitepoint.com about the IE Tab extension for Firefox. He says:
"Like the eminently useful IEView, the extension automatically launches IE and loads your URL into it, only with IETab this all happen neatly contained within a Firefox tab. In fact, the only evidence that tells you you’re not using the Gecko engine to view the page is the tell-tale IE icon on the tab."
I admit I like the idea, but...
It may be a little faulty. When I switch to the IE view, the embedded IE browser lost the images, lost the stylesheet, and some of the page formatting.
Of course, maybe this is some quirk of my computer, that it doesn't seem to operate properly. For now, I guess I had better continue to check clients pages in the real IE.

After a reboot, I found the new extension working much better. It is definitely worth the download if you check pages in both Firefox and IE.
