User Reviews
Users find that although this add-on adds an icon to Firefox, it fails to function properly. The main issue is the requirement of additional Communicator software, which is often unavailable or causes errors. The add-on lacks configuration and does not effectively open Internet Explorer as intended, leading to user frustration and uninstalls. A few users noted it working on older versions like SeaMonkey 49, but overall the add-on is unreliable and disappointing. Pros
- Adds an icon to the Firefox toolbar, indicating some level of integration.
- Some users reported it works well with certain versions like SeaMonkey Version 49.
- The add-on is recognized as a potential tool to open web pages with Internet Explorer from Firefox.
Cons
- Does not work as expected; icon appears but functionality is missing or broken.
- Requires the installation of an additional 'Communicator' software which either fails to install or ends in deadlock.
- The required Communicator software often results in errors or unavailability (404 errors on download).
- No configuration or context menu options; the add-on does not actually open pages in IE as intended.
- Many users had to uninstall the add-on due to these issues and lack of functionality.

Is Open With for Internet Explorer Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Open With for Internet Explorer requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
