Works around a FireFox 0.9 bug which caused installation problems for many users.

v 0.8 - Jun 15, 2004

Now supports the FireFox 0.9 Extension Manager, meaning installation is more-standard, and we now have full uninstall. The download should still work just fine in older FireFox versions, but please let me know of any problems.

v 0.7 - Feb 23, 2004

Added a new preference - "ieview.ieapp". This can be set to the full path of Internet Explorer, as in:

    user_pref("ieview.ieapp", "d:\\program files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe");

in those instances where the IEView extension cannot find Internet Explorer on its own. Alternatively, you can specify an entirely different browser (AvantBrowser, Opera, Lynx) to be launched instead).

In Mozilla Firefox, this preference is settable via the Tools | Options | Extensions panel -- just select IE View from the list, then hit the Options button to configure.

If left blank, IEView searches for Internet Explorer as always.

v 0.2 - Oct 9, 2003

Restored missing properties file.

v 0.1 - Oct 9, 2003

Initial release.
