IE View 1.3.8, now monkeying with bookmark menus
IE View v1.3.8 is out, and in the usual place.
There’s a fix that solves an installation problem for a small set of users, and several updated translations.
But the main change is that I’ve added an “Open in Internet Explorer” to the context (right-click) menu for bookmarks. So right-click a bookmark, either in the Bookmarks menu or in the Bookmark Toolbar, and you have the option of launching that page in IE.
Note that this works in Firefox 3 (and higher) only.
On the one hand, I’m happy to have this feature, and a lot of users are as well. On the other hand, the bug requesting this has been open since November 2003. Not exactly the fastest response ever — although in my defense, doing this under Firefox 2 would have taken the kind of surgery that tends to interfere with other extensions. It’s always been a goal to keep IE View very well-behaved and unobtrusive.
Ah, the joys of spare-time coding.

Love your extension, Great job on it! It's the first ext I ever installed in, uhh.. 2003? Holy cow time flies!
Can you help with this? I want to remove the context menu item "View this page in IE" since I use the toolbar button.
Is there something I can add to my userchrome.css?
