Provides ability to open pages and links by Internet Explorer (Cloned IE View based on WebExtensions-based.)
This works only on Windows.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The list of URLs which should be opened by IE is not compatible to the legacy version's one.
You need to rewrite them based on the matching pattern spec for Firefox addons.
For example: http://example.com
=> http://example.com/*
(note that the added wild card to match any page under the domain.)
