That is the purpose OF *IETAB* - to allow you to run the *IE* *engine* 
inside a Firefox Tab.

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.
