Coral IE Tab: the best way to view IE-only sites in Firefox
In Coral IE Tab's settings, you can assign preferences to individual sites, so you don't have to manually switch to IE whenever you visit an offending page. If you're already running IE Tab, Coral IE Tab can import its settings (you should disable it afterward to avoid any conflicts). I hope that we can leave IE-only sites behind sooner rather than later but, until that time, an add-on beats running an entire second browser.

Does it embed the IE engine or use iexplore? More directly, will it work if I have IE8 uninsalled on Windows 7?

Why don't you try it and let everyone know.

One click would of taken you to the add-on download page where it says :
... "An enhanced version of IE Tab which enables you to use the embedded IE engine within tabs of Mozilla Firefox" ...
the power of the left mouse button

Are there still sites that only display in IE? I know some microsoft sites dont even display correctly in IE6 any more. Only time I use IE tab is to test and see if IE is mucking up a site.

Any site that uses an Active X control is going to require IE. I've also found several sites where the JavaScript works better in IE than in FF.

try windows update in firefox.. it uses activex.
It's also a useful dev tool though

"Any site that uses an Active X control is going to require IE"
Um, no, not for a few years now. In fact, the Active X controls on many of my web pages actually display better in Firefox and Chrome than in IE. In Internet Explorer, you have to click on a prompt or two before Active X even works at all.

Are you saying that ActiveX is natively supported in FF, or are you saying there is an extension or plug-in that allows it?
I was under the impression that lack of ActiveX support was one of the nice things about FF and made it immune to ActiveX based exploits.
@Dave Foster - Going to windows update in FF displays a page saying I need to use IE 5 or later.
