How can I get an IE tab plugin that allows me to configure specific URLs to open in IE?
I have used Firefox as my default browser for several years. However, I absolutely need a working "IE Tab" plugin. Now that my company has updated me to ESR 60.0.2, my IE Tab plugin is not working. I briefly looked at a couple of the popular IE Tab plugins that "might work" in my version (I haven't installed them yet), neither of them seem to only work with links that I click in the browser. What I need is the ability to configure specific URLs to always open in IE. This is because when I click links in Outlook that need to open in IE, I don't have the ability to intercept that and make the URL open in IE instead of Firefox. It will really be a pain to have it open in Firefox and not work, and then I would copy/paste the URL and make it open in IE.
This problem may result in me finally changing my default browser back to IE.

Maybe you've already looked at these add-ons :

yes, I looked at them, but I didn't install them, as both of them seemed to clearly state that they only work for links clicked in the browser, and the key limitation is that I have to configure certain urls to always open in IE, and others not to. Those two plugins let me make a choice when I click the link, but that's not what I need.

Where are you opening those URLs from if not from links in Firefox?
