Let’s face it folks some of the things that make Mozilla and Firefox sing is the plugins and extension that third party developers have hacked together. One thing I have noticed though is some of the default functions that work in IE don’t always work out of the box. Well some of that may be changing.
Quoting a segment out of a eWeek article: “The Mozilla Foundation, Opera Software ASA and Apple Computer Inc. announced earlier this week that they have developed an extension to a plug-in API that serves as an alternative to IE’s method of using ActiveX for plug-in scripting. ActiveX also has been faulted in recent weeks for opening IE to security attacks.” [eWeek]
