How to Activate ActiveX in Firefox

How to Activate ActiveX in Firefox thumbnail
Enable the ActiveX plugin in Firefox.

ActiveX controls in Mozilla Firefox allow users to view multimedia content on websites such as Flash software, audio and video. Because Firefox doesn't support ActiveX, you'll have to manually activate ActiveX. If you want ActiveX controls added to your Firefox browser, you have to install the software from a third-party add-on. Enabling the ActiveX feature in your Firefox browser only requires a few simple procedures.

Instructions

    • 1

      Open Mozilla Firefox. Download the Firefox plug-in that corresponds to your browser (see Resources). Click "Allow" when the "Firefox prevented this site..." message appears. Click "Install Now."

    • 2

      Click "Tools" and select "Add-ons" from the drop-down list.

    • 3

      Click the "Plugins" button and locate the ActiveX plugin in the list of plugins.

    • 4

      Click the ActiveX plugin and click "Enable." Restart the Firefox browser.
