ActiveX for view in Firefox 3.3

Post by RENAUDERIC »

Hello,

I want to see my sheet html in Firefox and I get the message
There was an error in Mozilla ActiveX Control. Please try the Internet Explorer preview instead.

Best regards

Hi,

The Firefox ActiveX control is a third-party control, and not written by Blumentals.

There was recently a thread on how to get the latest:

Don't know if this will help.

If you need to see your code in Firefox, the easiest is the install Firefox, and Alt+Tab back to it from WeBuilder.

The ActiveX control is a severly cut down version of an old revision of Firefox - based on the 1.x family of Firefox. You're not going to get a faithful representation of your website.

Actually the new experimental package delivers FireFox 3.0 rendering. But as I have mentioned many times, the ActiveX control is produced by third parties, it has bugs so we can not guarantee that it will work for everybody. Has worked for me and most other users, though.
