One thing which has been preventing me from upgrading to Firefox 3.6 is the lack of support for IE Tab which, as you may know, allows you to run a site using the IE rendering engine inside of a Firefox tab. I need this for some sites such as Sharepoint and the Virtual Server control panel (so I don’t have to open IE directly).
If you are facing the same situation, the workaround is simple: uninstall IE Tab (which appears to be abandoned) and go with Coral IE Tab. Not only does Coral IE Tab pick up where IE Tab left off, it adds a couple of really useful features:
- Support Adblock Plus. Ads in IE page will also be filtered by Adblock Plus!
- Support sync cookies between IE and Firefox. Now you can switch between Firefox tab and IE tab without having to relogin!
I have been using it for a few days now and it seems to be working great. Once Firefox releases their first patch for 3.6 I will be upgrading without the worry of losing functionality.

I had the same issue (our timecard system only works in IE) and did the same thing. Coral IE Tab does pretty much the same thing as IE Tab. No problems so far.
thanks a lot ! I am looking for sth to replace ie tab in ff 3.6, this is very useful!
Coral does NOT render Outlook Web Access (https://owa.dslextreme.net), at least not for me. I’ve (unfortunately) removed ieTab and don’t believe I have anything else that would “interfere” with Coral working, but it doesn’t. Thoughts…
I’ve also tried the Coral IE tab plugin and had the same problem as Woody with Outlook Web Access. I’ve got the light version of OWA instead of the full version.
I’ve found the solution. I’ve downloaded the latest version 1.71.20100212 from http://coralietab.mozdev.org/installation.html and this version works fine with OWA, just as good old IEtab did.
Good luck,
Tommy
