[WISPA] Firefox add-in
The company that supports us has a in-house Admin system that works really well. It is a home-grown admin system that gives us customer tracking and all. There are links on the customer record to ping the customer radio, a hyperlink to the radio IP so that it opens a new tab in windows and allows us to login to a Tranzeo or a UBNT radio. There is also a link to allow us to winbox or putty into that customers AP. This all works great, in Microsoft Internet Explorer. It takes a .asp IE add-in to allow all the links to work. We have not been able to find such a add-in for Firefox. I am sorry I cannot give any more info than that as I am not a programmer and don't know how that all works. Any suggestions?

Re: [WISPA] Firefox add-in
Actually what is used is a IE add-in (not and .asp) that allows IE to start an executable. It is used to allow a hyperlink to start Winbox and putty. We have searched for something that will work in FireFox, but I suspect Mozilla is security conscious enough that there is no way to make it happen. So, if someone can point us to a way to get FireFox to launch a .exe, Steve will no longer be tied to IE.

Re: [WISPA] Firefox add-in
Maybe IE Tab will work for you guys. Basically, It uses the IE engine inside of Firefox. Good for going to sites that don't work with Firefox.
