Mozilla is built with XPCOM, but it is possible to host ActiveX controls albeit in a limited fashion using this plugin:"Phillip M. Jones, C.E.T." wrote:Actually IE for Mac has the ability to use Active-X though I have it

Mozilla does support a Variation on Active-X not based on the Microsoft model.
Supposedly all the dangerous code is left out (I belive its called
either Xpcom or XUL).
No it doesn't. It uses a version of COM called XPCOM.
ActiveX uses a different version of COM written by
Microsoft.

The plugin for hosting controls is Win32 only and will not download, install or script controls. If you have the control installed you should be able to host it though. Bug 103940 covers a little work that will make the plugin run almost seamlessly from an <OBJECT> tag. It *might* get some scripting support at somepoint via Mozilla's XPT plugin scriping support.
The Win32 version of Mozilla also has smatterings of COM/ActiveX here and there to support drag & drop, clipboard, shortcuts, accesibility and a few other bits and pieces.
