A lot depends on what your ActiveX control does and what your goals are. If it's appropriate to your content I'd first consider a Netscape-stype plugin which will work in all other browsers. If you need more control over the control from the page consider a plugin that supports the new scriptable interfaces which will work in newer versions of Mozilla/Firefox as well as recent (or near future) versions of Opera and Safari. Documentation found here: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/plugins/
There are other Mozilla-only technologies you could use, such as "Firefox Extensions" and "XPCOM Components". Since you already have working code see if the plugin interface is rich enough, that's most likely to be the simplest thing to wrap around your existing code.
Oh, one last thing. There *is* source code available to make Mozilla support activeX controls. If you are working on some corporate project where you could ship a custom version of the browser with that support turned on then that's probably the least amount of work. But if you want to distribute your control to existing Mozilla/Firefox users then that's not the way to go.
