It’s called IE Tab and it has so many uses. IE Tab allows you to run Internet Explorer in a tab within Firefox.

Now why would you want to do this? Well for one you can run websites such as Windows Update and PC Pitstop without having to open IE. Another use would be for those pesky websites that only let IE users in.

If you’re wondering about security, don’t. Internet Explorer only runs when you specifically tell Firefox to use it, and if it is running there are status indicator everywhere to make you aware. When you click on one of your bookmarks Firefox resumes to the Gecko rendering engine without any problem at all.

If you find that you have some website you still need to use IE for, or if you’re a web developer like myself, I would highly recommend you install the IE tab extension right away.
