Will the control be released with Mozilla?
Frequently Asked QuestionsYes, the control has been a regular feature of Mozilla releases for the last few years. If you intend to use the control from Mozilla, use the zipped up version of Mozilla, not the executable installer. The installer, puts the gecko runtimes in a separate location from the chrome and other files that the control needs so it does not function properly.
Related QuestionsWhat is the Mozilla control?
Frequently Asked QuestionsThe Mozilla control is an ActiveX control that encapsulates the Gecko layout engine, allowing it to be used in any ActiveX container. Developers can use any ActiveX development tool such as VB, Visual C++, Delphi and even Internet Explorer to embed the Mozilla ActiveX control into a form. The Mozilla control also uses the existing Internet Explorer interfaces meaning that it can be a drop in replacement for the Internet Explorer control in many cases.

Related QuestionsCan I use the control in Mozilla Firefox?
Frequently Asked QuestionsSome builds of Firefox may contain the control, but Firefox statically links most of the GRE runtime into firefox.exe. The control won't work without the runtime. From Mozilla 1.5 onwards the control is installed in the GRE directory but see the last question which explains why the control does not work from the Mozilla installer executable.

Related QuestionsHow can the Mozilla control be binary compatible with the IE control?
Frequently Asked QuestionsActiveX (or rather COM) is a binary standard for defining the APIs that a control exposes. It allows controls and other types of object to be interchangeable as long as they implement the same APIs and function in the same way through those APIs. The Mozilla control attempts to do exactly this, emulating Internet Explorer control as closely as possible so that host applications cannot tell them apart.
Related QuestionsWill the control be released with Firefox?
Frequently Asked QuestionsNo. Firefox is built in a way that minimizes load times by statically linking most of Gecko into one giant executable. Consequently Firefox is missing the XPCOM DLLs that the control needs to open a browser, navigate to pages etc. Use the standalone ActiveX control installer.
Related QuestionsWhy does the Mozilla installer break the control?
Frequently Asked QuestionsThe installer now splits Mozilla into two directories - a GRE directory under "Program files\Common files\Mozilla.org\GRE" contains the Gecko runtime engine and the actual Mozilla directory (specified by the user during installation) contains the chrome and application DLLs. The mozctlx.dll is installed in the GRE directory but cannot locate the chrome it needs (which is in the Mozilla part). Therefore it breaks.

Related QuestionsHow difficult is it to port some existing code from IE to the Mozilla control?
Frequently Asked QuestionsThe stated aim of the Mozilla control is to be as compatible with the IE control as possible but certain advanced features may be difficult to implement using the Gecko rendering engine. In particular this means DOM manipulation, particularly using the large number of IE interfaces introduced with IE 5 & 6. Therefore it depends on the complexity of your application.
Related QuestionsHow do I port some C++ to use the Mozilla control?
Frequently Asked QuestionsThat depends on the classes you are using. In general it requires replacing references to the Internet Explorer CLSID with the Mozilla one. MFC & ATL provide classes for using the IE control, you may have to make duplicate these classes, making your implementation reference the Mozilla CLSID.

Related QuestionsWhy isn't the Mozilla ActiveX control marked safe for scripting?
