Does SpywareBlaster block ActiveX for FireFox ?

Hi,
This is my first post here in this reputable forum...

I have a question to ask:
==> In SpywareBlaster's main window, I can see protection against bad ActiveX controls for IE but only cookie blocking for Mozilla FireFox (I have FireFox v1.0)...

==> Although Mozilla FireFox does not support ActiveX in the default installation, there's a step-by-step guide that allows FireFox via a plugin to run ActiveX controls (eg: Windows Media Player...)

==> Does any protection applied via SpywareBlaster to IE against bad ActiveX controls apply to FireFox (since the plug-in invokes Microsoft DLLs to support ActiveX..) ?

Second Question:
==> What do I expect to see when a site tries to install a bad ActiveX control on my machine and it gets blocked? Is IE supposed to crash because that's what happens to me...

Thanks for the great program and for any co-operation...

 

Welcome to Wilders and the SpywareBlaster Forum

While I do not have a defenitive yes or no answer....I'll say that unless Firefox uses the same registry key to store ActiveX clsid's(HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Application Compatibility) as IE....the answer is no.

 

Thanks for the information....
