There is no version of IE browser for Android so it is not possible. IE or Internet Explorer only exists on Windows.

The "IE Tab" extensions embeds the IE browser you have installed on Windows in a Firefox tab. it does not pretend to be IE in any way if that is what you thought.

The IE Tab Extensions hosted at addons.mozilla.org are not emulators but use the actual IE (installed on Windows) in a Firefox tab. Firefox users on Mac OsX and Linux cannot use the IE Tab extensions also.

The vast majority of Extensions hosted on addons.mozilla.org are by a third-party author as ones done by Mozilla would have Mozilla or Mozilla Labs as author for example.
