Extension: Nightly Tester Tools
Version: 0.7.9.10
Author/Extension Homepage: http://users.blueprintit.co.uk/~dave/we ... ghtly.html
Description: An extension built for those that like testing the new versions of Firefox...I am keen to it, because it will allow you to make an extension compatible with the new version..."Experimental" of course, but the extensions that I have tried work flawlessly...

Extension: IE Tab
Version: 1.0.6.4
Author/Extension Homepage: http://ietab.mozdev.org/
Description: IE Tab, an extension from Taiwan, features Embedding Internet Explorer in tabs of Mozilla/Firefox.
This extension is derived from the famous extension IE View, but they are quite different.

AT Scale Rating: 6 out of 7
Only improvements I can see are what are listed as not working at the bottom of the extension homepage.
