Hi Barry,
It's there but kind of hidden. There are several ways to access IETab.
1. Right click on a page and select "View this page in IETab".
2. At the following link look at the first image.
http://ietab.mozdev.org/screenshots.html
You will see an Internet Explorer icon in the status bar at the bottom
right. This page is running in an IETab. If the page is not running in an
IETab you will see a FF icon in it's place. Clicking on that icon will
toggle the page between FF and IETab. If you want to have a particular page
always open in an IETab, right click this icon, and in the "Sites Filter"
tab the URL will appear and an option to "ADD". Click ADD and this page will
always open in an IETab. You will want to do this at the "Windows Update"
site so it always opens in an IETab.
3. Open FF and right click on the icon toolbar (Navigation Toolbar) at the
top and choose "Customize". Scroll down and locate the IETab icon and drag
it to the icon toolbar.
