If Microsoft Windows Update web site will accept Firefox with either of those two extensions, then banking and MS Exchange/Outlook Web Mail and other IE only web sites should also accept it

Interesting. It sounds like the Firefox plugin is allowing other activeX controls to run. But I wonder if they run in the context of Firefox (which I would need for the MS Ex/Outlook webmail) or if they just run in the background (ie to do MS installations, dll registrations, etc.)

I just now checked on IEView and IETab at Mozilla.org and both simply run IE simultaneously with Firefox. If you're looking for an easy way to use IE on one web site, like a bank, or some other reason while you're using Firefox, either of the two would do it.
