IE Tab Firefox Extension is great!
The IE Tab Firefox Extension is awesome! It allows you to open the current page in a new tab, rendered by the Internet Explorer engine.
Although most sites work fine in Firefox, it’s an unfortunate fact of life that some sites are designed to work with Internet Explorer only. To deal with this, I’ve been using the IE View Firefox Extension, which allows you to open the current page in an Internet Explorer window.
It allows you to define a list of sites that will always open in IE, which is useful if you use Firefox as your primary browser, but frequently need to use some IE-only sites.
This new IE Tab extension allows you to configure the same kind of list.. sites that will always open in an IE Tab. It even supports Ctrl-leftclick to open the current IE Tab into a new Internet Explorer window, using the IE View extension! I highly recommend both of these extensions.

It is a great extension. However, I have indeed stumbled upon problems that consistently worked in a real IE window, but not in IETab. Still, when it works, it saves a lot of effort.
