IE Tab: open IE on a tab in Firefox

I've always used IEView to view Internet Explorer-only pages on my Firefox, but this extension seems really better than the previous. IETab permits you to open a IE-only web page under a tab in Firefox (so no new window opened).

To use it, just right click a link and choose "Open this link in IE tab"... magically you'll obtain a tab where the page works under the IE engine. Cool!

However, I've to signal a strange thing: the first test I've done after the extension installation (under Firefox 1.0.7) was to try to open Windows Update under a tab in Firefox. Result? This page:

The extension doesn't work?

No... I've opened Google, typed "Windows Update" on the search engine and then opened the link with the "Open this link in IE Tab" option.

Result? This:

You can easily run Windows Update without using Internet Explorer. The trick is only to open it directly (and not by typyng the url on a IE Tab). Cool!

Me entero a través del blog de Stefano Demiliani una interesante extensión, IETab, útil para aquellos que ya no utilizan Internet Explorer, más que para acceder al Windows Update o algunas malas páginas que sólo funcionan en este navegador.
