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, you can't do this. It's a huge security risk.
