VI snippets and firefox

[Matthew_Kelton]

I don't have LV2009 installed yet, but does the Copy Image from Firefox's right-click menu and then pasting it into LabVIEW work?

Firefox's bug list claims this bug was fixed (at least for PhotoShop) months ago:

When I try to drag a VI snippet from webpage with firefox LabVIEW displays a comment with the URL of the PNG file.

If I switch to IE I get the actual snippet loaded into LabVIEW.

Does anyone know a solution?

Firefox 3.5.2

Firefox has a plug-in called "IE Tab" that embeds the IE engine into a Firefox tab.  You can switch between Firefox and IE engines for any tab, independently, on the fly.  In IE Tab's setup, you can also designate web sites that should *always* be displayed using the IE engine.  It's good enough to work with Microsoft Update, so maybe if you choose to display the tab in IE mode, it will work!

Can anyone verify that this works?  It would be far simpler to do if it worked, though technically it's not a "native" Firefox solution since it uses the actual IE engine.

I can verify this works:

Then drag and drop example snippet into LabVIEW 2009:

Nice!  That's good to know!
