Firefox/Mozilla or other cross platform browsers like Opera don't 
support script creation of Windows ActiveX components with new ActiveX.

With Firefox/Mozilla and with Opera 9 if you want to programmatically 
execute XSLT transformations then see this documentation
<http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Using_the_Mozilla_JavaScript_interface_to_XSL_Transformations>
And it can't hurt to read
<http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xslt/faq.html>
and first check whether your stylesheets use the namespace 
http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform at all, otherwise neither Mozilla 
nor Opera will do anything with them.
