I downloaded the suggested add-on, installed it, and restarted Firefox, but the new tab did not appear anywhere on the home page. Could it be hidden somewhere? Where should I expect to find it?

more options

As with any Add-on, always set the options; Add-ons > Extensions > IE Tab Plus > Options

  • on "UI Prefs" tab, I have all items checked, except the three "Icon" items
    • Note: you may need to drag icons to a toolbar or to the Add-on bar (bottom of browser window) from the Customize Toolbar window, if they do not appear.
    • Open Customize Toolbar window, on of the following ways
      • click Firefox button > Options > Toolbar Layout
      • click File > Toolbars > Customize, if using the Menu Bar
      • right-click in the blank space at the end of the tab bar and choose Customize
      • See --> How do I customize toolbars?
  • Check the other option tabs for the Add-on
  • Click on the icon to open a tab with the IE rendering engine
    • To access on Tools menu, press the ALT key or the F10 key to temporarily display the Menu Bar and click Tools > then the IE Tab item
  • Set sites that you want to open in an IE tab on the Add-ons options display *NOTE: IE Tab will not work in Private Browsing.
    • open a blank tab first or it will overwrite your current tab.
