Firefox Essentials I - Coral IE Tab

With this blog series I thought I would share with you all which addons I feel are essential for Firefox.

Why choose Fire fox at all?
Apart from the fact that it is competitor to Microsoft Explorer there are other benefits as well. It is more stable, less prone to attacks and more flexible than Explorer.

Unfortunately there are some websites that still have problems with Firefox... most commonly these problems appear when trying to watch a video clip. The addon bellow provides a solution to that problem. What it does is reopen the "tab" or site you are trying to see in Explorer still using Firefox as a shell. This means you don't have to open Explorer, find the page, read it, close Explorer and open Firefox again.

All That is required is that you push the button on the left (which appears in your navigation toolbar) and hey-presto the site is now in explorer and you don't notice the difference.

This addon can be found ...here...

The next installment.... getting rid of all those ads... see you then..
