I have an ActiveX plugin that we need (if possible) to run in Firefox. Is there a plugin (or other way) for Firefox that will allow this?

I seem to have found a solution:

"This Firefox plugin makes it possible to use ActiveX controls in Firefox. It is based on the Gecko NPAPI and provides full access to the hosted control (events, functions, properties)."
