Here's an interesting Firefox extension. IE Tab.

"Embedding Internet Explorer in tabs of Mozilla/Firefox."

Many love it. I've found (with IE6 anyway) it not very reliable, in that it doesn't act the same way IE does.

I now use IE View which fires up IE7 with a right click or the Toolbar, with the current page I have open.

Thanks though.

WindowsUpdate works flawlessly with it.

It was derived from IEview IIRC.

BTW I've just noticed if you press the ALT key while in IE7 it will make the Classic menu appear temporarily, save you turning it back on.

This also work in Windows Live Messenger and WMP11.

It looks cool.

It's about time IE had "Automatic Crash Recovery", it's proven very handy in Firefox 2.
