Message-ID: <3c6805390712251621p1e44e596qadae4c3ca02cf6a7@mail.gmail.com> Hi, I was just wondering if it would be possible to make IE Tab use the gecko engine instead of the IE engine. If that is possible and you can specify your own locations for saving cookies and stuff*, I think it would be possible to create an extension implementing secure tabs just by applying a few modifications to IE Tab. Secure tabs is this idea I've been having about a better protection for end users against CSRF and similar attacks (of course, I can't claim to be the fist one to think about it, but I haven't found anything else written about it). You can read about it at http://my.opera.com/haakeyar/blog/csrf-we-need-protection, it was mentioned in the latest episode of The Command Line Podcast (http://thecommandline.net/2007/12/23/news_125/) and I have suggested it in the mozilla.dev.security news group/mailing list at http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.security/browse_thread/thread/b0a770c9fed95320#da54733dd406c591 I'm sorry if I am asking a stupid question, but I am unable to try IE Tab (since I am using Linux) and I haven't looked at the source (which I maybe should have done before asking about this, but I have no experience with developing extensions for Firefox, no experience with using browser engines etc, and I figured that you guys who know the code, probably already know the answer, while I would have had to spend a lot of time before finding anything useful). If this is actually doable without too much work, is it something that you guys could consider to implement? I understand that branching out the code to create another plugin would be harder to maintain with bugfixes and all that, but still, it would be very nice to see it happen. * I don't have any experience with programming with browser engines, so I don't really know how it works with cookies and all that.

That is the purpose OF *IETAB* - to allow you to run the *IE* *engine* inside a Firefox Tab. > So the question remains what in IE keeps a company web site from > working with other browsers other than IE? Oh... sorry, misunderstood your original question... usually it is reliance on activex controls, which Firefox doesn't support... well, there is an effort, but I haven't looked at it in a long time, nor do I have any interest in it. Other than that, it would just be POOR PROGRAMMING.
