Embedded Internet Explorer in FireFox tabs
This is a
nice little gem
I found while perusing
ComputerZen
.
I've been out-of-blog (similar to out-of-touch but with blogs) for almost a week now. While getting back into the swing of things, I went to one of my favorite tech blogs,
ComputerZen.com
, and noticed Scotts
entry
on a FireFox extension that embeds an IE window within a FireFox tab via the context menu.
To things I've noticed within the first 5 minutes of using:
Tabbing around a form doesn't seem to work, and
Typing in a url in a Tab that is already IE embedded reverts that tab back to FireFox.
Both minor in my opinion but worth noting.
Other than that, I, being a web developer, look forward to using this. Thanks to
PCMan (Hong Jen Yee)
for creating this.
Down load it here from
Mozilla
.
https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&id=1419
If you're using Firefox 1.0.x, you have to install an additional package from the following link to make it work.

UPDATE:
For those of us who use IE and Mozilla for web designing & layout purposes, this isn't 100%. For the most part, all is good but <fieldsets />; don't render properly (see this site:
www.bit-shift.com
, in IE and IE embedded - you'll notice a difference.) and if that is the case, there might be other tags/css that don't render properly. My suggestion for web developers; keep using the actual browsers for referencing layout.
