One of the things I hate the most is to find a page that only opens in IE. Some
because of bugs, others because of plugins etc...
Since Firefox is very extensible I think that instead of like some plugins that
offers the option to open a page in IE, Firefox should have a option to replace
in one tab the mozilla control by the mshtml control. This way we would never
need to open IE and we could bookmark, block popups, etc... into firefox.
Additionaly this could be very useful to Evangilization projects. If there was a
option (like the popups allow) to mark a page to open in IE-mode, firefox could
upload that to an envagilization project so they can take care of it.

Like I said, I do not wish this extension. I used it already. My suggestion is
to open the page within firefox, in a tab, but instead of rendering with
mozilla, to render with the IE control. This way that would look just like we
never left firefox.

That's the funiest thing I've ever read here.
Reporter: do you know what "bad support to standards" and "take back the web"
mean? It really doesn't mean "keep it the way it is now"...
What you are asking is to replace an existing dictature using an apparent
democracy who would delegate its work to the underlying same dictature. Think
about it...

A capital idea. Why not just save ourselves the compatibility hassles and
implement ActiveX?
