Using WinXp 32bit with Latest 32bit Firefox beta 12.0 or Aurora Fx13.0a2 or Nightly Fx14.0a1 builds.
After installing the latest IE Tab above and after the initial restart of Firefox after selecting to render a loaded tab to use IE Tab. Is anyone else getting this prompt notification message?
I had to do either of these to get the missing plugin message to stop appearing:
1.) Set about:config preference: plugin.expose_full_path; set to true(This change may not be required) And restart the Firefox a couple of times before the Add-on Manager Plugins Category would show the IE Tab plugin 2.0.0.0.
Or:
I had to close/exit Firefox:
2.) Then Copy File: npIETab.dll from here: C:\Documents and Settings\Robbie and Justina\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\goafkhbv.rob64rock\extensions\{77b819fa-95ad-4f2c-ac7c-486b356188a9}\plugins\npIETab.dll
Then Paste File: npIETab.dll to here: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins And restart Firefox before the Add-on Manager Plugins Category would show the IE Tab plugin 2.0.0.0.
What's weird is that about:plugins would show:
IE Tab plugin
File: npIETab.dll Version: 2.0.0.0
Even before changing the above about:config preference and doing the additional browser restarts or Copying and Pasting the File: npIETab.dll to the different OS directory location above, but the Add-on Manager Plugins Category didn't show the IE Tab plugin 2.0.0.0.
Odd. I didn't have that issue. I'm using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0 (Windows XP SP 3, Fx 12 beta 1). IE Tab 2.0 installed and ran just fine for me.

Now it works without any problems, I figured if it happened to me someone else that may have experience the issue and figured out what Fx bug# or Add-on was causing the Add-on Manager to lag behind about:plugins in detecting the IE Tab plugin.
All three are pretty comparable. I have been using this > https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... b-2-ff-36/ since Firefox 3.6. A couple of things made the difference at the time. This one was compatable with Roboform (which I no longer use), this has the ability to switch IE between IE 7, 8, 9 and at the time a couple of the others had embedded malware. I think they are all clean now??????? Good Luck !

Thanks much for the quick reply, JayhawksRock. I know a lot of people are and have been very happy with IE Tab V2, but I was hoping for a comparison between it and IE Tab 2.0.20120203, now that the developer has returned. Basically I am trying to figure out which to use and have had trouble finding current info via Google.
I dont think it makes much difference. They all just call IE that is already installed on your 'puter. And you could install all of them, one at a time and uninstall of course, see which one has the features and settings you like. I dont think you can go wrong unless one of the versions is sneeking in Malware.

Okay, I'm starting to get this now.
Ever since the latest release (13.0.1) came out, this is all I see when I open a page in IETab.
I tried using the xunxun dll and still got the "plugin missing" message. Am I doing something wrong? Can anyone help with instructions in case I missed something?
Here's what I did:
Copied the npietab2.dll file to the plugin directory for IE Tab and replaced it with the original. Then I restarted FF and no go. I'm on the nightly 64-bit version.
