this one shouldn't be judged on whether it gets checked in or not but
rather whether it works and how easy it is to use.
I wouldn't put it that way. I'd continue "and if it clearly makes the world

I agree
Such a thing has many uses:
* Hosting ActiveX controls inside a native Firefox
Now that's an evil use :-)
Evil not to mention very bad idea.. ActiveX is the big cause of spyware
and some virii as far as I'm concerned, and if you put that into FF, you
are opening a whole new can of worms for ppl like cydoor and
doubleclick... With that being said it would make it (theoretically)
possible to use the ActiveX Sun JVM for IE under FireFox, thereby
finally allowing me to play runescape in FireFox with sound..
On the whole, I hope this happens. It would be an interesting experiment.

I agree this idea is one of the best I have seen so far, and if done
properly will open up a whole new set of doors for linux users, and
probably make it a whole lot easier to convince windows users to switch,
while at the same time keeping the security issues to a minimum..
