IT Tips: Launching Internet Explorer from Firefox

I love firefox extensions.  They're so useful.  I often find myself sitting and thinking to myself "Gee wouldn't it be great if I could get it to do [insert idea here]?"  The really cool thing is, that a lot of the time, one Google search later and I've found exactly what I was hoping for.  I wish I had more time to devote to looking around the net for cool software.

 

Anyway... today's firefox extension ad is for the handy IEview.  I went looking for it after trying to watch a video on ninemsn and then having to cut and paste the URL into IE to see it.  Now, instead of doing all of that mouse-moving, I can just right-mouse click on the link and select the "Open link in IE" option.  Too easy.
