No IE Tab In Firefox 3.6 – Try This Instead

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.
