Download of the Day: Quickie

IE Tab Firefox Extension
IE Tab, an extension from Taiwan, features embedding Internet Explorer in tabs of Mozilla/Firefox. This extension is derived from the famous extension IE View, but they are quite different. While IE View always open IE-only pages in newly launched windows of Internet Explorer, IE Tab can open them in tabs of Mozilla/Firefox.

Great idea especially if you have a web site that needs to be tested with both browsers, but “sorry, I do not want to run IE at all”. It works quite nicely with some quick tests.
