[Ieview] IE View not compatible with Firefox...?

[Andrew]

Thanks for the reply.  :)

My apologies... Leaving out the version!  It says IE View 1.3.1 in the
Add-ons dialog (right above the "Not compatible with Firefox 2.0.0.1")

I think I have the latest version... And I've clicked the "Find Updates"
a number of times yesterday and today... And it's definitely not IE View
Lite - since I recall seeing that and thinking that it wasn't what I was
looking for.

Since I couldn't find it searching in mozdev... I ended up using Google,
and searched for:

firefox addon "open link target in ie"

.. The third one down was "IE View Comments..." - Which took me to:

https://addons.mozilla.org/comments.php?app=firefox&id=35&left=20&orderby=

And from there, I just clicked "<< Back to IE View"

So basically, I did download it from mozdev, and I have v1.3.1 ... I do
suspect that it's something strange going on with Vista... But I have no
clue where to start to figure it out... Let alone actually getting it to
work!  ;)

Thanks again!  - Any other thoughts or suggestions from anyone would be
much appreciated.
