PROJECT DIED

Sorry guys, Mozilla informed me that they have a new policy now: from now on, add-ons with NPAPI plugins will be rejected immediately. Since NPAPI plugin is an essential component of Coral IE Tab, this project can not continue. I tried to negotiate with them, but they refuse to response. So I have to abandon this project, with all my efforts of the past 6 months.

FAQ

1. What is Coral IETab?

Answer: Coral IETab is a Firefox extension which enables you to use the embedded IE engine within tabs of Mozilla Firefox. It is not only a great tool for web developers, like IE Tab, but also an useful tool for normal users, since you can easily switch to IE in TAB VIEW when you meet incorrectly rendered web pages in Firefox.

2. What is the relationship between Coral IETab and IE Tab?

Answer: IE Tab is a Firefox extension developed by PC Man. I think it's useful, and I want to add more features on it, so I decided to fork a new branch of IE Tab, named it Coral IETab. Many parts are directly taken from IE Tab, so you will find them very similar. However, the core DLL is completely rewritten, to support more advanced features and provide better performance. Besides, I'm continuing adding new features and improvements to the project, so, maybe someday you will find them completely different, from user interface to low level core.

3. What new features are introduced in Coral IETab compared to IE Tab?

Answer: Many. The most significant new features may be: supporting Adblock Plus (and other Adblock-like extension), supporting cookies (so you don't need to relogin when you switch between Firefox and IE), etc.
