Talk:Market adoption of Mozilla Firefox

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] ActiveX??

"Furthermore, they note that Firefox does not support some technologies that are sometimes used in institutional environments, such as ActiveX."

Why is activex mentioned on this page as a drawback for industry adoption? Activex is proprietary technology made exlusively by MS for Internet Explorer. This "restriction" applies to every non-IE web browser. What might be better is to state that some organizations rely solely on internet explorer technology, making it difficult for organizations to switch to a new web browser.

This quote makes it sound like lack of ActiveX support is a firefox-specific drawback. 66.181.239.133 20:31, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

I chased down the reference, and it actually says that although ActiveX plugins are a problem third party bridges are available. I've modified the text to reflect this. -- Rick Block (talk) 03:45, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
