That's because of Microsoft's shoddy coding practices.  They use an 
ActiveX control on the IE enabled version of Outlook Web Access and 
where as when you login with another browser it uses the more basic 
interface.  I'd be weary about using IE Tab though as you're using the 
Internet Explorer engine (and all the security risks that go with it).
