Need to open Internet Explorer from Firefox 3.6.10 for IE-only URL/site

The Illinois State website requires the I.E. Browser to enter bi-weekly certifications.

I want to set a shortcut on my desktop to this site but that will not work unless I change my default browser to IE, which I do not want to do.

A Google search indicates that a plug-in exists, but the URL it referenced for the download no longer offers the plug-in.

I prefer the IE View Lite add-on that will open IE for sites that you specify.

Some people prefer the IE Tab add-on which opens IE inside a Firefox tab. There are 2 versions of that add-on, IE Tab Plus and IE Tab 2.
