Due to the recent Lawsuit against Microsoft, http://news.com.com/Will+Microsoft+tweak+IE%3F/2100-1012_3-5069943.html?tag=nl courtesy of /., many sites that only work with IE may have to change a bit and IE may even be changed. This link is to IE View. What it does: Adds "View page in Internet Explorer" links to the content and link context menu. Handy for previewing pages in IE, loading up IE-only pages when you run across them in Mozilla, etc. http://update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=35&vid=156 Hope this helps, David >From: Jeffrey Barnett <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: Code for Libraries <[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: [CODE4LIB] Pros and Cons of XUL development >Date: Fri, 3 Sep 2004 09:54:45 -0400 >MIME-Version: 1.0 >Received: from pickering.cc.nd.edu ([129.74.250.225]) by >mc6-f15.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.6713); Fri, 3 Sep 2004 >07:06:43 -0700 >Received: from hazard (hazard.cc.nd.edu [129.74.250.229])by >pickering.cc.nd.edu (Switch-3.1.6a/Switch-3.1.0) with ESMTP id >i83C4bHG013725;Fri, 3 Sep 2004 08:54:48 -0500 (EST) >Received: from LISTSERV.ND.EDU by LISTSERV.ND.EDU (LISTSERV-TCP/IP release > 1.8d) with spool id 10407169 for [log in to unmask]; Fri, 3 >Sep 2004 08:54:48 -0500 >Received: from pickering.cc.nd.edu (pickering.cc.nd.edu [129.74.250.225]) >by hazard.cc.nd.edu (Switch-3.1.4/Switch-3.1.0) with ESMTP id > i83DslrT029564 for <[log in to unmask]>; Fri, 3 Sep 2004 > 08:54:47 -0500 (EST) >Received: from pantheon-po05.its.yale.edu (pantheon-po05.its.yale.edu > [130.132.50.34]) by pickering.cc.nd.edu (Switch-3.1.6a/Switch-3.1.0) > with ESMTP id i83Dskb8005962 for <[log in to unmask]>; Fri, 3 > Sep 2004 08:54:46 -0500 (EST) >Received: from [130.132.80.102] (systems13.library.yale.edu >[130.132.80.102]) by pantheon-po05.its.yale.edu (8.12.11/8.12.11) >with ESMTP id i83DskMj004147 for <[log in to unmask]>; Fri, >3 Sep 2004 09:54:46 -0400 >X-Message-Info: JGTYoYF78jG+3ud4AyYVgWCjCNeftPqJ >User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) > Gecko/20040616 >X-Accept-Language: en-us, en >X-YaleITSMailFilter: Version 1.2a (attachment(s) not renamed) >X-ND-MTA-Date: Fri, 03 Sep 2004 08:55:16 -0500 (EST) >X-ND-Virus-Scan: engine v4.3.20; dat v4389 >Approved-By: Jeffrey Barnett <[log in to unmask]> >Message-ID: <[log in to unmask]> >Organization: Yale University Library >Return-Path: [log in to unmask] >X-OriginalArrivalTime: 03 Sep 2004 14:06:44.0818 (UTC) >FILETIME=[3E988320:01C491BF] > >I've been a Mozilla and more recently Firefox user for a long time, but >only recently noticed the availability of extensions.
