Hi TristB, since activeX is a proprietary microsoft technology (legendary for being unsafe as well) this won't work in any other browsers than internet explorer. TristB Question owner 12/3/15, 10:59 AM. ActiveX is a deprecated software framework created by Microsoft that adapts its earlier Component Object Model (COM) and Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) technologies for content downloaded from a network, particularly from the World Wide Web. Microsoft introduced ActiveX in 1996. In principle, ActiveX is not dependent on Microsoft Windows operating systems, but in practice, most ActiveX. One, called Adobe Flash Player ActiveX, is only for the use within Microsoft Internet Explorer, while the other, Adobe Flash Player Plugin, is for the use in other browsers such as Mozilla Firefox. No additional installation is necessary for Google Chrome which includes its own edition maintained by Google.

Install ActiveX Control in Firefox, Chrome

The component can only work at the IE6/7/8/9/10. If you want to use it at the Mozila Firefox, you need to install the ActiveX control support in the FireFox.

Microsoft created ActiveX for the Internet Explorer browser to properly play various types of media. Although the tool was designed specifically for Internet Explorer, when using FireFox, you will sometimes come across a website instructing you to install ActiveX to view media properly. For that reason, Mozilla has created a plug-in that will allow ActiveX to be enabled in Firefox.

An API similar to Internet Explorer's ActiveX for ease of porting, which can be used to to integrate Mozilla's engine inside a variety of apps

Mozilla ActiveX Control serves to execute ActiveX content inside Firefox. Consequently, it can also be used by developers in order to implement the Mozilla engine inside applications.

It uses the Gecko layout and was built to provide a fully programmable HTML / XML control that may be used in open-source development projects.

Mozilla ActiveX Control has been designed to follow the same line as Internet Explorer’s ActiveX component, which allowed for easy porting of the IE engine throughout various applications.

It doesn’t suffice to say that Mozilla ActiveX Control is similar to IE’s ActiveX control, it is, in fact, as close as it can get in functionality. The Mozilla component implements the same interfaces that are to be found in IE’s API, namely IWebBrowser and DWebBrowserEvents.

As such, developers can port existing IE code to Mozilla based applications in a matter of minutes, depending on the complexity of the project. Some may require HTML modifications, but it’s all doable, nonetheless.

On the downside, Mozilla ActiveX Control is no longer under active development and hasn’t been for quite a while now. The last time it was updated was sometime in the year of 2005, not to mention the fact that it’s based on an outdated Mozilla engine.

It was built in accordance with an old edition of the Mozilla Suite and can execute ActiveX content in versions of Firefox up to 1.5. In other words, the ActiveX control, in unmodified form, is not suitable for building or porting modern applications because it is not compliant with modern browser technologies.

However, at the time, the effort was highly appreciated and the initiative gained quite the crowd of fans. Considering its popularity back then makes us wonder about the greatness level that could have been achieved it the project had been actively maintained.
