- Rated 1 out of 5by kungfujoe, 7 years agoEven after a few updates to the native client and the extension, this doesn't do anything at all in 64-bit Firefox 57 for Windows.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13516803, 7 years agoWorks fine on Firefox 57. Installing the native client is necessary because of the WebExtension format in Firefox. It is open source so harmless. Andy Portmen is very reactive on Github.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Gene1940, 7 years agoThis extension works, but I've removed it. It opens a gaping hole in Firefox's security. The new node that is installed allows virtually any program on your computer to be run. It's not limited to IE.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Sigma, 7 years agoI couldn't get this working initially, but it turned out that I had to set the path to IE's executable manually. Even though in the add-on's settings it says that the correct path (for Windows users) is automatically set if you don't manually type in a path, for me this didn't work. I had to manually set the path as the following: -
C:\Program Files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe
Once I'd done that, it started to work just fine.
I've knocked a star off because of the issue mentioned above and because of having to install an extra process to get this to work. While I get that the latter is a limitation of Firefox's new add-ons system, it's still off-putting from a security standpoint.
Many thanks to the developer for both this add-on and the "Open in Microsoft Edge" one, which worked fine without me having to set the path manually. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13464807, 7 years agoNOT working in new firefox Quatim release Windows 7

- Rated 1 out of 5by Glenn Pyle, 7 years agoNeed to install an additional mysterious "native client". Yeah, I don't think so! Suspicious and likely malicious!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13085443, 7 years agoYou need to install an additional application, this is not permissible here, so the extension is unusable on a restricted desktop.
