How to enable ActiveX controls in firefox?

Question

I have an application which uses ActiveX controls. I want to automate this using Selenium IDE. But when i launch the application i end up in an error message "Turn on you ActiveX control". Is there any way to enable ActiveX in FireFox?

Note: I am using User Agent Switcher(as IE7) Addon of firefox to run my application.

Answer 1

No. Firefox doesn't support ActiveX.

Answer 2

Hello,

You can look around the MediaWrap extension for firefox. It is supposed to add transparent ActiveX support to Firefox.

I am not sure it already works with firefox 3.6 though and there are known limitations.

Maybe you can give it a try.
