Firefox (IE Tab) and Constructware, not such a great fit afterall

A few months back there was a post highlighting how Constructware could be run inside of Firefox using a plug-in called IETab.  You can read the original post here.  I recently made the switch myself as I really like the way that Firefox treated the Constructware windows as tabs.  But last week I discovered a flaw that has made me switch back to Internet Explorer. 

If you are using Firefox with IETab you may experience issues trying to download files from the File Director.  You can view just fine, but downloads don't seem to work properly.  Additionally, you may have found that in the Submittals module there is no scroll bar to scroll to the right. 

So my recommendation is that you continue to use Internet Explorer when accessing Constructware.
