From http://ieview.mozdev.org/

The ieview plugin is a simple Mozilla and Mozilla Firefox extension (for Microsoft Windows systems), which allows the current page or a selected link to be opened in Internet Explorer.

From Mozilla help text:

To disable an extension in Firefox, select Tools > Options. Next click the Extensions tab. Select the extension that you wish to disable, and then click the Disable button.
Manually removing extensions

*For advanced users
You have to close Firefox to manually remove an extension, so it would be a good idea to print this page now.

To manually uninstall an extension:

1. Close Firefox completely.
2. Go to the directory that the extension was installed in (Usually %FBinstallDir%/chrome)
3. Delete the folder or .jar file with the same name as the extension.
4. Open installed-chrome.txt in a text-editor.
5. Remove all the lines with your extension's name in them
6. Save the file
7. Delete the folder entitled "overlayinfo".

If all went well, Firefox should open. If Firefox does not start, reinstall Firefox after deleting the directory where Firefox is installed. Firefox will still use the same profile, so you won't lose settings.
