Open Internet Explorer from Firefox

[vmannaru]

Hi,

We have a requirement to open a specific URL with IE but our application is working in FireFox, Is there any way to open an IE window from firefox through any Java Script.

or is it possible to call a system commands through javascript so that we can try to open a local machine system command for IE open.

No, you can't do this. It's a huge security risk.

Hi Rabbit,

Thanks for your quick reply.

is there any other alternative way to achive this requirement.

As like from shellscript or any other.

No, that's a huge security risk. If any browser allows scripts to run other applications on a user's computer, that allows hackers to run anything on anyone's computer.

theoretically (if you had the C source code of IE) you could compile it in asm.js to open IE inside FireFox …
