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

[Paul Roub]

Short of "send me a zip of your profile directory" I'm not sure where to 
go from here.  Something in your current settings is causing Firefox to 
get very confused about IE View's compatibility status.  If you haven't 
already done so, I'd be interested to know if it works for you when 
installed in a clean profile.
