If we modify the activex control and provide a new version by modifying cab
file and specify the new codebaseURL tag , the new control is not
downloaded on its own unlike IE.

 Tried changing the code like the below :
(a) iN CControlSite::Create (...)  stored the codebaseURL passed at the
first time. Then changed the activex control and prepared a new cab.
Compared the previous URL with the new one and download if any change like :

"  // Do we need to download the control?
   if ((FAILED(hr) && szCodebase) || isNewVersion ) "

It does download the new control , but Windows throws a message saying "
System settings change and we need to reboot the system". Actually after
reboot it updates the activex control. But this reboot requirement is being
shown only in firefox and not in IE , and is certainly not desirable.

Summary:

The Excel.Application called like that:
<object
                id="Control"
                TYPE="application/x-itst-activex"
                ALIGN="baseline" BORDER="0"
                WIDTH="300" HEIGHT="300"
                clsid="{00024500-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"
                progid="Excel.Application.12"
                event_OnReadyStateChange="OnReady"
                logger="logger" debugLevel="5">
        </object> 

Doesn't work because, I quote, "Looking at the registry I see that the
Excel control is not just a DLL/OCX like most ActiveX objects, but looks
more like a .NET assembly. It probably needs to be created differently and
therefore does not work with the current implementation of the plugin."

All source code pointed to release #37 (include source code in Mercurial 
repository)

However, or project home page, you offer to download release #39.

How come? How to get latest source code?

With best regards,

May be I will be the author of most issues :)). Because we want to use 
this component in real application. So we do as many tests as possible :)

Issue with string parameters in method calls. All non us character 
transferred not correctly. In IE all is ok in active x. In ff all non us 
symbols have problems (for example swedish, german). We use BSTR as 
parameter type in control. I think problem is somewhere in scriptable.h 
invoke. I am trying to investigate this but may be you have other ideas.

I am trying to use this plugin to allow the <a 
href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms531356
(VS.85).aspx">Tabular Data Control</a> to be used in FireFox.  I've 
installed the plugin, but it does not seem to be working.  Is there 
something I'm doing wrong, or does the plugin not support this particular 
ActiveX control?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load a page with an embedded a ActiveX control
2. Call a function on the control via JavaScript
3. Navigate away from the page

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
NPP_Destroy is called and the CAxHost is deleted.  However, the underlying 
ActiveX control is not deleted.  (Set a breakpoint in the ActiveX control's 
destructor to confirm that it is never called)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Head revision (14e849830355) on Win7

Please provide any additional information below.

I've attached a patch to fix the problem.  In the scriptable interface the 
following code was used:

    IDispatchPtr disp = control.GetInterfacePtr();
    disp->AddRef();

IDispatchPtr is a smart pointer that does an AddRef in it's ctor
and a Release in its dtor.  Manually calling AddRef was unnecessary.
Doing so caused the reference count to be artifically high since there
was no corresponding Release.

Each time ResolveName or InvokeControl was called, the reference count would go 
up by 1.  This prevented the count from ever reaching 0 so the control was 
never deleted.

Parameters order is incorrect when calling activex method/functions.

For example if in IE I call activex function this way
document.getElementById('Control').function1(par1, par2, par3)
all is working. in ff I should call the same method
document.getElementById('Control').function1(par3, par2, par1)

in order to make it works correctly.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a DIV-object dynamically (createElement) called divobj.
2. Fill the innerHTML property with "<object  TYPE='application/plugin' ...
param_... ></object>" to load the desired control.
3. divobj.firstChild should point to the created object now (like in
Internet Explorer)
4. Calling any method on this object fails.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected: The method of the created object gets executed
Instead: Error stating that the method is undefined.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

r25, XP, FF 3.0.6

Please provide any additional information below.

When step 4 is executed in another pseudo-"thread" (using setTimeout), it
works. When a messagebox (alert) is displayed after step 3, step 4 also
succeeds and the method is called.

I suspect Firefox not to update its DOM-tree correctly after inserting the
object dynamically. The tree gets updated when FF regains control e.g. the
object-creating thread is suspended using alert or setTimeout.

    My environment is win7 professional and firefox 3.6.10
    When i run the Usage Sample,nothing show up.
    I try to debug the ff-activex and i found in CControlSite::SetPosition method m_spIOleInPlaceObject->GetWindow(&hwnd) will return E_UNEXPECTED.

    I test some other activex control either,they were all ok.

    by the way,my flash player's edition is 10

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.I have created the new xpi with new npffax.dll(Version 1.33.0),but it's 
not replacing with old xpi.
2.With new npffax.dll not retuning any mimetype.(I am using 
navigator.mimetype java script method)
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
How to get the mimetype of npffax.dll(version: 1.33.0)?

Expected output is "Object mime type"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version of Product:1.33.0 Operating system Windows XP

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. In JavaScript, call a function on an ActiveX control that return an array

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to get a JavaScript array as a return value.  However, no value is 
returned

Please provide any additional information below.

I've attached a bugfix for converting a COM array to an NPVARAINT.  
Variant2NPVar switches on the COM Variant type.  Before this fix, VT_ARRAY was 
a case within this switch statement.  Since VT_VARIANT is a flag that is 
combined with the type of the elements (e.g. VT_ARRAY | VT_BSTR for an array of 
BSTRs), the Variant type will never equal VT_ARRAY.  The case will never be 
hit.  The patch changes the function to use a logical AND to determine if we 
are working with an array.  The code that actually does the conversion was 
correct, it just was not being hit.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. using ff-activeX-host in Firefox
2. invoke the ActiveX
3. the dll which will be used in ActiveX will be load failed!!

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
the all actions are implement in the dll, so it can't be load in lib, the 
ActiveX will be useless

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
win7-32bit

Please provide any additional information below.
in the ff-activex-host component, is there any method can control the action 
about loading dll??

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Exported code using hg clone https://ff-activex-host.googlecode.com/hg/ 
ff-activex-host 
2. Opened solution in VS2008
3. Duing build process follwoing errors generated.

Please see attached file for build errors

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Arrays which are returned from functions in the ActiveX control can't be 
used. Also parameters which are arrays can't be parsed in the event 
handler.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

r33. XP SP3.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Try to load "Microsoft Licensed Class Manager" (with classid {5220CB21-
C88D-11cf-B347-00AA00A28331}). The following piece of code will do it:
<OBJECT TYPE="application/x-itst-activex" height="0" width="0" 
clsid="{5220CB21-C88D-11cf-B347-00AA00A28331}" ></OBJECT>


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

"Microsoft Licensed Class Manager" is necessary to load a lpk file which 
is necessary to load any licensed activex. It works fine in IE but firefox 
crashes.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

r33. XP SP3.


Please provide any additional information below.

"Microsoft Licensed Class Manager" is available on all windows systems 
through the installation of IE. This is necessary for loading any licensed 
activex.

1. Try to install xpi on FireFox 8.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
FireFox 8.0 on WinXP SP3

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Firefox works with not an issue
2.Waterfox disables it, 
3.a 64-bit/32 bit combo pack might be of future use. 

Waterfox at present has the lead , but as Mozilla in time absorbs it back 
and as x64 o/s'  takes over.... their will likely be a official firefox-x64 
instead of a nightly/beta/alpha 

Waterfox preforms amiably. , however the app wont run as of yet...
