So maybe the AH developer got the message, but I have put him on my blacklist. If Mozilla doesn't clean up its act regarding plugins I may dump them also.

Running IE frames / tabs in Firefox is kind of silly, it exposes all of IE's flaws in Firefox.
Useful, though, for when you want to use IE.

It is not only a great tool for web developers, like the old IE Tab, but also an useful tool for normal users, since you can easily switch to IE when you meet incorrectly rendered web pages in Firefox.
