Re: Visual Basic

You probably don't want the install newsgroup. That's only useful after 
you've got your program running and want to distribute it.

A lot depends on what your ActiveX control does and what your goals are. 
If it's appropriate to your content I'd first consider a Netscape-stype 
plugin which will work in all other browsers. If you need more control 
over the control from the page consider a plugin that supports the new 
scriptable interfaces which will work in newer versions of 
Mozilla/Firefox as well as recent (or near future) versions of Opera and 
Safari. Documentation found here: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/plugins/

There are other Mozilla-only technologies you could use, such as 
"Firefox Extensions" and "XPCOM Components". Since you already have 
working code see if the plugin interface is rich enough, that's most 
likely to be the simplest thing to wrap around your existing code.

Oh, one last thing. There *is* source code available to make Mozilla 
support activeX controls. If you are working on some corporate project 
where you could ship a custom version of the browser with that support 
turned on then that's probably the least amount of work. But if you want 
to distribute your control to existing Mozilla/Firefox users then that's 
not the way to go.
