Firefox has a plug in that can make it IE for those sites that don't like Firefox, called IE Tab I think. Would that work with Linux?

The add-on is called User Agent Switcher, and it works perfectly fine with the Linux version of Firefox to make sites think they are dealing with an IE browser. See:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59
(BTW there is also a way to change the user agent in the Linux version of Opera, to achieve the same result.)

That's a completely different add-on to IETab, and won't help most users in this instance.

IETab provides the functionality of IE within Firefox on systems that already have IE installed, and enables people to use technology (ActiveX is the main culprit) that FF doesn't provide natively.

UAS only helps with sites that bother checking to see what the browser says it is - very few sites nowadays (and I'd be surprised if banks do this) refuse point blank to serve content to non-IE browsers solely on this criteria.
