Is there a solution to using Firefox to access internet based software that was/is designed for Internet Explorer?

I just started a new job and they say I have to use a PC with IE in order to use their online software program(s). I currently have two MACs and don't want to manage another PC on my desk if I don't have to.

I've read that some older versions used an add on called IETab. But this is unavailable for Firefox 3.6 or 7.0. I'm hoping I don't need an add on, just that I can have the same functionality on Mac as on PC.

IETab type extensions need IE to be installed, they are of no use on a Mac.
