For Windows users only.

Mozilla does not support ActiveX controls natively. However, a plugin for ActiveX controls support is available. It will not download or install controls itself, and it will only host controls that are already installed and marked safe for scripting, so it is not as insecure as ActiveX normally is. The current version of ActiveX plug-in does not yet allow controls to be scripted.

Note that ActiveX can pose a security risk to your computer.
