I get this error when I try:
var activexobj=new GeckoActiveXObject("SomeActiveXOjb.SomeClass")

Comment 2

-> DOM, or would xpconnect be the right component?

Comment 3

[Benjamin Smedberg]

What is GeckoActiveXObject and why would it be defined?

I installed activex plugin (http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/plugin.htm). I mean
when I run mozilla without "-chrome" command line argument then
GeckoActiveXObject works. When "-chrome" argument is specified then
GeckoActiveXObject using is fail.
