IE Tabs will not work with version 5.0
So far version 5.0 has been a P.I.A. Trying to get IE Tabs to work. A version is found in "addon's" that claims to be compatible with version 5.0, however when attempting to install it, I am told it is not compatible???

There are several IE Tabs listed. I don't know which one did you use. Did you use this one? If not, try it as it is compatible with FF 5:

You can try the following IE Tab + (formerly Coral IE Tab). I know that it works with Firefox 5, because I use it.

Why then does the add on say it will?
Well, brian2059, silkphoenix and I do not know which IE Tab Add-on you are using. Post the link in Firefox Add-ons for the one you are using OR in Add-ons > Extensions, post the full name and version number. Thanks.
Which one did you use? In the following link, it shows two versions which will work with FF 5:

If you are using the "IE TAB + (FF 3.6+)" version, you'll need to go to the developer's website, which will bring you to the one Helper7677 mentioned.
