It sounds crazy, but there are some sites on the Internet that still don’t play nicely with Firefox (ahem, MTV2). Why?!
But instead of launching Internet Explorer on top of your favorite browser, get the Firefox add-on IE Tab. It will embed the IE engine within Firefox.
So if you’re visiting a website with videos that just won’t load with Firefox, right-click and switch rendering engine. It will reload everything IE-style.
Install it here: IE Tab

Easily one of the greatest add-ons for FF. A must for sites that won’t get their shit together.

Shall we support a browser with 25% market share that follows (most) rules or a browser that makes up rules as it goes?

IE Tab is a handy add on, however, it has a nasty tendency for a memory leak. IE View Lite is much smaller and more efficient, but it does force you to open up the IE browser.
