Hi

We are using ActiveX controls in our application and we used Internet Explorer till now.

We would like to upgrade to Firefox. But these ActiveX controls are not supported in Firefox browser.

Please suggest the alternative to use ActiveX controls in Firefox browser.

We are using Firefox v ESR 24.6

Thanks Rithesh

Sorry, Firefox doesn't use anything that is directly comparable to ActiveX.

Making a stretch to provide a comparison, would be the NPAPI cross-browser API. But although it is still being used by Mozilla, it is considered a legacy technology.
