You know what I think would be a good idea? A Filterset G sort of list that contains all of the sites that require IE to use. Then that could be uploaded into this extension. I would like that, but I unfortunately don't have the time to make that sort of thing
I have an annoying habit of correcting people.
(But that's okay since I am always right)

Installed from extensions mirror, doesn't work for me: winupdate says i need ie5 or later
Interestingly enough though, the right click context was from ie. Somehow i was able to get to the update (clicking on ie links) and it scanned but no right click context (therefor couldn't bookmark - copy/new bkmrk trick took me back to the same page with warning).
What am i doing wrong? There must be an easier way!

Just enter chrome://ieview/content/reloaded.html?url=http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ in the address bar and you're set.

You're just running IE in a FF browser window, so of course the right click menu was from IE.

IE code has to be loaded before the page can even start to be loaded, so it's not a surprise that it takes a little while longer.

Lazlo,
but of course!....
Molgar and Jim,
thanks for your time. I just can't get it working with winupdates site (works for others though). The only way i can get to it is if i manually type either address in the URL bar. But it's not really worth the trouble as i can simply click Start/Winupdate and be there (yes, in ie though).
The http://windowsupdate.... link takes me to the page, as i've said, that recommends to install ie5 or higher.
Bookmarks/Bookmark this page doesn't work - dead link, nothing happens when i click it.
The chrome://ieview ... link takes me to "page cannot be displayed" page (with a dead link to ieview homepage).
Edit: restarted Fx and bookmark seems to be working!.... Hmm, computers!

i am aware of that, but not even the info that would normally be displayed in the IE statusbar is being shown in the FF statusbar. that way, even after having loaded IE you don't see any progress.

I'm sure it's not a simply matter just to get FF to host IE in a tab, getting information from IE as to its progress (which FF could only start to do once IE was loaded, anyway; I don't see how the loading progress could be indicated) just hasn't been implemented yet; this is early days for this extension. Be patient, and maybe the developer will add a progress bar feature but, to be honest, I can't see that it should be considered any kind of priority.

I've posted this extension on the Extensions Mirror, and I'll update it to include the new version. What version numbers should I use for reference?
