I am trying to engage in A Microsoft Word help tutorial that will not work without ActiveX controls. Is there a way to enable this in Firefox?

Hi,

Firefox doesn't support ActiveX. You can try to temporarily use Internet Explorer to view the tutorial. Also, please check if the site has the tutorial in other formats, you could try to use that.

You can try using one of these Add-ons to have Firefox open a new tab with your installed version of IE in that tab. AFAIK, ActiveX will work in that new tab.
