Because Firefox do not support ActiveX, so this can be called a major broken feature. And this maybe the difference between Firefox and IE6. And it will be publish soon on news.

we are not going to support activex, by design. Please use NPAPI plugins for equivalent cross-browser functionality.

http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/ActiveX?s=activex ActiveX is the main reason why Internet Explorer is so unsecure. And it only works on Windows anyway.

> And it will be publish soon on news. Everyone already knows. Only Microsoft supports ActiveX, the other browsers (Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome) don't. Most web games are Java or Flash, both of which work just fine in Firefox and on non-Windows platforms (Macs and Linux).
