Why not just use the IE Tab extension and toggle the page over to the IE
renderer when you need to?

Or is there something about certain Active X plugins not working with it?

Seriously, Active X was one of the WORST design choices Microsoft has ever
made from a security standpoint.  SO many of the security holes in IE (and
thus Windows) come from Active X it's not even funny.  Which again makes me
laugh that companies insist that they must use IE for Active X and that they
can't use Firefox because it can't be secured :)
