Ultimately the solution might be to just go on using FF for development 
and test IE on another machine.  This doesn't work of course if you need 
to use specific features of IE.

Dunno whether I suggested that before: did you check cache settings? 
IE's default doesn't work properly with some web pages.  I'd change it 
to "check on every access".

There may be a company or local policy in place which prohibits changing 
these settings.  Although it would be stupid to have a general policy 
that includes localhost instead of excluding it.

Kind regards
