acobb on "IE Tab not matching preset domains"

First let me thank you for a wonderful extension. I use it for both internet and local websites to help separate them as I switch back and forth. Some sites must be accessed with Internet Explorer, for which I use the IE Tab extension. Tabs rendered using the IE engine are colorized fine when using random colorization, but not when using preset domain coloring. The sites will match the everything "." rule, but nothing more specific. I have created a new profile to validate that no other extensions are interfering, and made sure everything is up to date. My system: Windows XP Pro Firefox 3.0.9 ColorfulTabs 3.9.1 IE Tab 1.5.20090207 I have atteched images to show my preset URL settings as well as the results on several tabs. The first tab for binaryturf matches the "." domain and is colored orange. The second matches "." and then matches "msn.com", and is therefore colored red. The third is msn.com using IE tab. It seems to match the "." domain, but not the "msn.com" domain and is colored orange. I assume that IE tab is doing something strange with the URL internally, but I don't know how to verify this. It clearly presents some usable URL as it matches the everything rule. Ideally, I would like to know how to make a URL rendered with IE Tab match a preset domain colorization rule. I wouldn't mind specifying IE Tab somehow in the preset domain name, but different domains using IE Tab should be able to match different rules. Thank you for any feedback.
