I don’t hate Internet Explorer. I do hate version 6, but 7 was better, and 8 looks blockbuster. But due to the incredible extensions available in Firefox I’m a big fan. The problem is that browsing SharePoint sites in something other than Internet Explorer proves to be a less than perfect experience.
With the IE Tab Firefox extension we can browse SharePoint sites inside the Firefox interface on demand without having to open IE. Here is a short screencast on how to do it.
Interesting solution! Thanks for the tip — too bad it still requires the IE rendering engine, because I would love to see better integration for non-Windows platforms into SharePoint.
@Chris: Thanks for stopping by. I agree, but it’s part-n-parcel with Windows web apps.
