This is the ActiveX wrapper that is used when people want to embed Gecko in their application on Windows, instead of using IE as the embedded HTML control.

The embedding API is the set of functions that an external application uses to host an instance of the layout engine within itself. The embedded layout engine provides services for rendering web content (HTML, XML, CSS, etc). Disabled per: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1538959
