140402 - [ActiveX] Register Gecko ActiveX Embedding Control on Install - topembed

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Embedding: ActiveX Wrapper, defect)

Description

If a thirdparty client wants to embed the Gecko engine inside their client, they
have to go into the moz dir and register the activex control manually to enable
other apps to be able to load the engine. 

Winamp3 has an option to load Gecko as the engine however it doesn't function
until you register it yourself. Would you please register the control on
installation so that other apps can leverage it if present?

Reproducible: Didn't try

Marking NEW.

This is an xpinstall issue. I'll dig around since I think there's a bug which
already covers this issue...

This was originally fixed and then backed out. See bug 59239.

This may be a duplicate of bug 76664.

The ActiveX embedding API was removed in bug 662023 and friends, making this INVALID.
