I'm seeking for a add on to enable MS IE functionalities as well as Adobe svg-viewer in firefox. Can anybody help me?
To use firefox as my prefered browser in my labour environment I'm seeking for a add-on that provides InternetExplorer abilities for Firefox. With this new feature I need to run the no longer supported Adobe svg-viewer software. Otherwise I am not able to open relevant graphics with Firefox.

Hi FCAtrains,
Firefox can open SVG graphics straight away - no plugins needed at all. Give it a try!
It's best not to install plugins which are no longer supported. They can be a threat to your employer's network security.
Have a go at opening some SVG graphics in Firefox and let us know if ypu need further help. :)

This might be of help;
Fire IE (FireIE, Enhanced IE) {web link} Embeds Internet Explorer(IE) to use the powerful Firefox add-ons. Not only an enhanced IE Tab, but also an enhanced Internet Explorer with Adblock Plus and FireGestures support. Switch to the IE engine in one click and dismiss your IE.

Hi jayelbe,
thanks for your idea but the environment I'm working in is designed to support IE and is optimized for the use of the Adobe feature. By using the IE the SVG graphics can be saved as *.svg in a dedicated folder but not so by using Firefox. The graphic window area shows no content. The file can not be downloaded.
An additional issue is - may be - that I'm working on my home device with LINUX instead of Windows (where everything works).

Hi FredMcD,
thanks for your idea and link, but this add on is not supported by the LINUX sytem I'm working with ...
