Mozilla ActiveX Control


Version:1.7.1 | License:gpl | Update:2008.01.23

An API close as possible to Internet Explorer's for ease of porting Mozilla ActiveX Control - previous versions of Netscape Communicator/Navigator were arguably superior to IE as day to day browsers but they suffered through their immediate usability and modularity.

Although the Netscape browser was great as a standalone application, it wasn't possible to utilize that functionality in third party applications.

On the other hand, Internet Explorer shipped with an ActiveX control which allowed exactly that ability.

So what would it take for developers to use the Mozilla control as opposed to the IE control?

  • An API close as possible to Internet Explorer's for ease of porting
  • Freely available source code to allow for bug fixing, customization, etc.
  • A very small distributable - 3-4Mb (for a download containing just the Gecko embedding engine and not the full Mozilla) compared to the 10Mb+ required for IE
  • State of the art rendering - exploit the speed and standards compliance of the Gecko rendering engine
  • No more nasty IE license - have you read it?
