Allowing Active X controls in Firefox
As I understand it, Firefox silently blocks all active X controls.
There are times I want to be able to run active X controls (Panda's on line virusscan, which caught a virus Norton didn't, comes to mind). is there a way to get Firefox to ask my permission to run active-X controls if a URL requests such? TIA Jim kaplan3jiim@comcast.net |

FF doesn't support active-x. Active-x is a microsoft thing, not Mozilla. There is an active-x extension for FF but I don't have a link to it right now. |

Yes, but its not recommended because it causes problems in other areas, such as flash. |
