HoochieMamma Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Yep, thats one of the 'limitations' to FireFox. Some people will say it really isn't a limitation at all :p, what you need to do is try and get an online scanner that uses Java. Trend Micros one comes to mind.

User6060 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 ActiveX isn't need for some online scanners such as http://www.trendmicro.com/hc_intro/default.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you use the IE.Tab extension? This way, you can still have Firefox open, but visit a specific site with the Trident engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigapixels Veteran Posted February 25, 2007 Veteran Share Posted February 25, 2007 Did you not know this? It's pretty obvious to begin with judging by the fact that it's not using IE's (Trident) engine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chavo Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Bad troll attempt buddy. You've got Firefox jizm running down your chin. Need a towel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andos Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Hmmm I'm quite sure I saw a Firefox extension that allowed you to use ActiveX controls in Firefox. The main reason why they were excluded from Firefox by default is because they aren't part of the standard from my knowledge. Also many people sees ActiveX as a big security risk in browsers if malicious homepages exploits a bug in one of your ActiveX controls. (and you have many activeX controls on your computer so the chances are that one of them can be exploited is pretty big) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm I'm quite sure I saw a Firefox extension that allowed you to use ActiveX controls in Firefox.... Yep, it's a netscape plugin that hosts ActiveX controls, can't remember if it's compatible with the latest version, and it can have some very strict security (only load specified CLISD's for example) http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/plugin.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guruparan Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 i still hate to load IE because firefox is faster when compared. Its not true always.. IE displays the image once it completely downloads it & renders the page.. IE7 is fast & sometimes more than firefox imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primexx Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Its not true always..IE displays the image once it completely downloads it & renders the page.. IE7 is fast & sometimes more than firefox imo IE is also embedded into the system.. As to ActiveX, it's an unneeded technology and Firefox coders made the decision not to support it because it's such a huge security risk. There is a plugin available that would enable it, but I highly recommend against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
