Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
Wine will not process a version of Internet Explorer AT ALL that has an address bar, and the IEs4Linux program was found to be completely worthless at it will not even complete installation of any version of IE. Without the Active X control it does not seem to want to function, even with the User Agent Switcher add-on.

Hi,
To get started with understanding this bug, you would need to specify which site it is that absolutely requires ActiveX controls.
Regardless:
http:// support. mozilla. com/en- US/kb/ActiveX
Clearly states that Firefox does not and will not support ActiveX, so there's nothing that will occur from a bug report on Firefox that would make this happen. I think your best option would be to report a bug against either Wine or IEs4Linux mentioning the problems you had with them.
