For several days I've asked Firefox v3 to find the IE Tab add-on. It is
not found. The same problem existed in 2.14 as well.

Using the add-on manager, searching on "ie tab" returns 17 entries, none
of them ie tab. Searching on "ie" returns 26 entires, none of them ie tab.

If you use the Mac version of FF3 your SOL (S outta Luck) IE Tab only
works for PeeCee's :-(

That's a problem with addons.mozilla.org. Search has been nearly
useless for at least a couple of weeks now.

Have you tried Launchy?

Thank you all. Glad to know it is a known problem too.

I just searched for "IE Tab" (capital IE and capital T in Tab) and IE tab
was the first hit.

Strangely, in order to add IE Tab to my wife's computer, I had to search
for it on Google. Go Google!

To add to that, using Google generally places the mozdev.org link at or
at least near the top of the results. I personally find it more
convenient (even when Mozilla search is working), when I'm looking for
something specific.
