Windows Update works when using Firefox now!

Correction: guess Firefox is actually using the IE "engine", when viewing that site.
IE Tab:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419

No it does not .. MS insists on IE 5.5 or later for updates. However on my Firefox I have that site set to open in IE TAB which does work for that site.

Yeah, I thought it uses ActiveX to run?

Well, Windows Update is working in Firefox 3.04 for me, at least.
WinXP-SP3 & Firefox 3.04.
Could be due to having installed this Firefox Plugin (?):
MeadCo_Neptune.exe

Does not work for me in FF.

Does not work here with FF 3.04

Trying to figure out the steps that somehow enabled Windows Update in Firefox 3.04.
My dual-boot machine is enabled on one partition, but is only getting a "plugin required" notice
on the 2nd partition. On the one that IS working, a required plugin was "known" and was
quickly installed without any extra "bells or whistles". A 2nd "Windows Update" plugin also was
required, then the normal "Express" & "Custom" buttons appeared. Two system updates were subsequently found, which went ahead and installed normally.
