With the death of IE Tab and no WebExtension alternative that I can find, I may look into going towards the 64-bit version, and the upcoming Quantum as well of course. Most of our remaining IE only sites are so old that it's becoming more of a struggle to get them to work at all, let alone in Firefox, so this isn't as bad for my organisation as it will be for others who are more dependant on IE Tab.<br /><br />Your user.js post has been a lifesaver for us though!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173800860616863765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640277357449515852.post-72665216214454555382017-09-29T11:08:34.402-07:002017-09-29T11:08:34.402-07:00I updated the site and several of the individual p...I updated the site and several of the individual pages with information on this.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08254486002792985068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640277357449515852.post-54514121836826644562017-09-29T10:17:18.112-07:002017-09-29T10:17:18.112-07:00Yup, I haven't been able to either.

If there's no WebExtensions version of IETab (or XMarks for that matter) I'm just going to have to abandon them. People will have to sign up for their own Firefox accounts if they want their bookmarks to sync and they'll have to open certain sites in IE manually. IETab does have a Chrome version so I don't know why that code can't be adapted.<br /><br />The last Firefox 52 ESR release will be in May 2018, so that's how much time is left, assuming I don't want to move earlier to get Quantum and to switch to 64-bit. I've already had some people's Firefox slow to a crawl when they hit the 2GB memory limit of the 32-bit version.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08254486002792985068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640277357449515852.post-53965799771541570912017-09-29T02:44:55.918-07:002017-09-29T02:44:55.918-07:00This blog has been an excellent source of informat...This blog has been an excellent source of information for getting Firefox deployed across our organisation, especially with Mozilla's reluctance to create official MSI packages. This page in particular, was great for getting IE Tab both installed and configured automatically. Unfortunately as of FF 56 it's stopped working and appears to have been abandoned, and I can't find a suitable alternative :-(<br /><br />Many thanks for the excellent blog posts over the years though! If anyone finds an updated version of IE Tab that does work, please comment below! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173800860616863765noreply@blogger.com
