If I have a Firefox tab and I change it to IE, then type a new URL, the tab changes back to Firefox. In previous versions of IE Tab the engine stayed the same in a tab until it was switched or the tab closed.
Right-Click on IETAB statusbar icon to set your preference.

Which setting? I figured it would be the "always use current rendering engine to open new URL" but I get the same behavior whether it's on or off. Do I have to restart Firefox for the change to take effect?

Does anyone confirm this problem?
SeaFox, can you give me reproduce steps?

1a. Open Settings -> General Tab settings
1b. Verify "always use current rendering engine to open new URL" is checked. Apply and save settings changes if needed.
2. Open new tab (tab is using Firefox by default).
3. Go to Google.
4. Click IETab icon in status bar. [rendering engine switches to IE, Google page now as ad telling you to get Google toolbar for IE]
5. Go to address bar and bring up Yahoo.
6. Yahoo loads and rendering engine switches back to Firefox.

[hitting the browser back button takes you back to Google, and the rendering engine switches to IE again]

This happens here at work on Portable Firefox, and at home on Firefox installed on my PC.

It's really funny.
In my test, step6 still render yahoo page in IE mode.

Can you try to create a new profile with only IETAB installed, and test if it still happen.

BTW, IE Tab is very useful!

Same story here. Has anyone figured this out?

Edit:

Whoops, didn't check the option and it was turned off. Switched on and rebooted Firefox. Looks like its working now.

Alright so I tried uninstalling and reinstalling IETab on my default profile, and it didn't help. But it's working on my new testing profile. I noticed the prefs were still set as they were before after I reinstalled (the use same render engine for new URL option was still on). Is there a way to trash the preferences file for the extension (since that looks to be corrupted)? Or will I have to trash my entire old profile now?

I think there is an extension conflicts with IETAB in your default profile.
Maybe you can help to find out which one conflicts with IETAB.

I've narrowed it down to a IE Tab vs. Tab Browser Preferences issue.

To reproduce my problem:
1. Installed IETab 1.30
2. When installed I opened Firefox using my shortcut on desktop.
3. Once opened and loading my homepage (I have dial-up) I wanted to stop it loading so I went to press the "stop" button (in between the "reload" and "history" buttons). I then noticed it was "coloured/greyed-out" just like the page was already loaded (which it wasn't).
4. Disabled IETab and restarted and could successfully stop my homepage from loading by clicking on "stop" button.
5. Disabled all extentions but IETab and went to default theme and "stop" was unclickable.

My keyboard have the "stop" button on it so if I press it, it stops the page so it isn't Firefox.
All other pages but the homepage can be stopped using the button. Changing hompages doesn't help.

I saw some of the posts regarding a fix for Roboform and IE Tab. I've installed IE Tab v1.3.0.20070122, but still cannot get Roboform to suggest a login when a page is rendered w/ IE Tab.

I have Roboform add-in v6.8.3.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Can anyone offer anything on this Roboform problem? Thanks.

Does it fix the problem?

Has anyone ever run IETab with the Cisco Security Agent installed?

I get the following when attempting to open an IETab with CSA running:

2007-01-26 08:08:39.143,Alert,"The process '\\<computername>\d$\Program Files\Firefox\firefox.exe' (as user <username>) attempted to call the function LoadLibraryA(""kernel32"") from a buffer (the return address was 0x1810b5c).
