Nothing.

Expected Results:  
There should be shown a 3d-Website like in IE.

-> invalid

You must install the ActiveX addon and I don't know if ActiveX plugins are
supported but I hope there will be never ActiveX support in Mozilla by default.

Reporter, I believe what you want is available but you would need to build a
special version of Mozilla - support for ActiveX plugins is not normally built
in because of security reasons. Once you have a special version of Mozilla, you
will need to set some prefs (don't know what) to actually enable it. (Netscape
7.1 comes with support for ActiveX plugins which is limited to certain plugins
deemed "safe".) If you want to know how to do all this, you should check the
mozilla.org website etc. for stuff about ActiveX and go from there. I can't help
you further.
