I want to switch back and forth between FF and IE; I used to be able to just click an icon on the tray, but that option seems to have disappeared after an upgrade.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== There was a FF upgrade

Start > Programs = isn't IE available in that menu?

But that would mean I couldn't continue what I started in FF; for example, I'm working on a site, discover FF isn't supported and wish to switch to IE. Used to be I could make the switch, seamlessly. Now I have to open IE and start all over.

Sorry, I didn't understand your statement about the "icon on the tray", thought you lost the IE icon in the Quick Launch bar in the System Tray.

Did you have the IETab extension installed in Firefox 3.5.x? That extension wasn't updated for Firefox 3.6 versions.

These extensions are similar and compatible with Firefox 3.6.x versions. Coral IE Tab https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10909
