Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
When I login to www.westpac.com.au (my bank) and try and view Other Accounts this function requires ActiveX. I have sent an email to the bank suggesting that they use a different technology as ActiveX can be a target for malicious software but I don't think they took me seriously.

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Unfortunately, ActiveX is a proprietary Microsoft technology that is only found in Internet Explorer. We cannot fix this in Firefox or Ubuntu. You could try Internet Explorer in Wine possibly. I'm converting this to a question in case others experiencing the same issue have suggestions. Please report any other issues you may find.
