That is what IE Tab does, it switches a specific tab to render a page with IE’s rendering engine, all within your firefox browser. Now in terms of support and system administration, the only time this is handy is to see if an SSL certificate is functioning correctly under Internet Explorer. When you install this plugin it will show you a little Firefox icon on the bottom right hand side, you click and it refreshes the page, rendering it in IE.
