The component can only work at the IE6/7/8/9. If you want to use it at the Mozilla Firefox, you need to install the ActiveX control support add-in in the Firefox. Microsoft created ActiveX for the Internet Explorer browser to play various types of media appropriately. Although the tool was designed specifically for Internet Explorer, when using Firefox, you will sometimes come across a website instructing you to install ActiveX to view media properly. For that reason, Mozilla has created a plug-in that will allow ActiveX to be enabled in Firefox.
