Open links in Internet Explorer

Open in IE™ addon gives you the ability to open any link in an Internet Explorer page from Firefox.

Note 1: (v0.1.2) after installing the addon, you need to connect it with native applications (i.e. IE) on your machine. In order to make this connection, a separate patch is provided in GitHub. Please download and install this patch from here.

Follow the instruction in the above GitHub page to download and install the related patch to your system. After installing, the "Open in IE™" addon in your Chrome browser can communicate with IE on your machine (Window, Linux or Mac).

Note 2: before using the addon, please open the option's page and make sure the path to IE is correct based on your Operating System. For example, the path to IE in Window 10 is: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
