Mozilla ActiveX Control doesn't need any version of Mozilla. It just uses
Gecko (Mozilla's engine), which is provided with it, so you don't have
to install anything else.

Not really. It even was implemented and working, but it is
impossible to do it in an acceptable way for Wine. That's
because we don't have a good way to embed Gecko's window
inside a Wine window. You may read about it here:
