    Open Internet Explorer from Firefox

    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, 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 …
