Christopher, try updating your add-ons (with the "Find updates" button in the Add-ons dialog). IE Tab should support not only Firefox 2 but also the latest development versions according to its page on the Firefox Add-ons website:

Hmmm! Interesting. I've been using it with Firefox 2 now for some time and seem to be having no problems. Cheers,From RayI can be contacted off-list at: mailto:ray-48@xxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Christopher Hallsworth I need to point out that according to the add-ons window of Firefox 2.0, IETabs is not compatible. Sorry about that.

It is pretty straightforward in that one opens the IE Tab properties via FireFox's Tools menu, into which the plug-in is installed when you download and install it. On opening the extention the page you are on is highlighted in the field next to URL and an 'add' option should be highlighted. Just entering or clicking on that should add the current page to the exceptions list. There is also an 'apply' button, so don't forgettouse that. I am 99 per cent certain that the Windows Update pages are a default action of Firefox, and indeed, its hard to see why they wouldn't be, given the high importance of Windows Update functionality not being disturbed. prepared to becorrected on this one, but sure I'm right. I may well have come across the IE Tab extention via a GW Micro Knowledge base article, but I cannot quite remember now. In anycase,that's probably a good way to track it down.

I don't recallthatyou can tell FF to load IE on particular website? I've heard of an extension, load IE, is that the one? Thanks.

(Fire Fox does live in therealworld and knows all about IE being required for Windows Update.)Youcan also list exceptions in FF for pages you know should use IE.
