Internet Explorer to Firefox

Is there a way to quickly change from my Internet Explorer browser to my Firefox browser?
Especially useful to see how my friends will view my web pages.

Thanks

Walt

.... and install the IE-Tab extension which acts like Internet Explorer in a Firefox tab.

The extension allows you to view webpages in a Firefox tab that looks and acts like Internet Explorer. This is useful for seeing how a page will look in the 2 browsers without having to open both Firefox and IE at the same time.

If this isn't quite what you're looking for, then stick with Bry's suggestion and have your website open in both browsers at the same time, switching between the 2 to check for differences in the website's appearance and behaviour.
