What are ActiveX controls and how can I install them? When trying to display certain images such as a census page I get the message that certain ActiveX controls are missing. I am using Windows XP and the current version of Firefox.

ActiveX is an Internet Explorer plugin system and will not work in Firefox or many other browsers. If the site requires ActiveX you will need to use Internet Explorer to access the site.
