I remember that when I had the Opera web browser, there were buttons called 'In IE' and 'In FF' that would open any current page in Firefox or Internet Explorer.

install FirefoxView add-on and it lets you open a link or the current page that you are browsing using IE in FF.

http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/223

The extension adds menu items to the Internet Explorer context menu. Right click somewhere on the page and choose "View This Page in Firefox" to open Firefox with the current URL. Similarly, right-clicking on a link (image, anchor etc.) and choosing "Open Link Target in Firefox" opens the link target in Firefox. Obviously, the extension works only on Microsoft Windows.

IE View does the reverse.

http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/35

IE View adds menu items to the page context menu, and the link context menu. Right-clicking a link now includes an "Open link target in IE" menu item. Right-clicking elsewhere in the main body of the page (not within an image, text box, etc.) gives "View this page in IE."

You can also add sites to an "always-view-in-IE" list. These sites, when reached in Firefox, will automatically reopen in Internet Explorer. The site you are currently viewing can be added via the Firefox

Also if you install IE tab add-on you can open a tab in FF for any page you are browsing.

http://addons.mozilla.or g/en-US/firefox/addon/1419

This extension is derived from the famous extension IE View, but much different.

While IE View always open IE-only pages in a seperate Internet Explorer window, IE Tab can view them in a Mozilla/Firefox tab.

You need to have both browsers open at the same time.

On the "source" browser (the one with the page opened now) notice the small icon on the address bar right before the "http://". Click it and drag it to either the tab bar or the content area of the "destination" browser.

This works both ways- from firefox to IE, and from IE to firefox.

Latest post on this question's discussion board:

I use a Firefox Plug-in called "IE View". It puts a button on the toolbar that opens the current page in IE. It's handy when some idiot (like the one who programmed by online banking site) writes a page that won't work in a real browser like Firefox.
