Allowing Active X controls in Firefox
|
|
| kaplan3jiim@comcast.net 2006-12-04, 1:13 pm |
| 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

you've got that wrong. 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.
