You will likely not be able to play zone games that require ActiveX using
Firefox (unless someone manages to make an Extension that correctly mimics
it). Firefox does not support ActiveX which is a required part of the
installation (just tried it myself to double-check). This is unlikely to
change, as ActiveX is a Microsoft implementation not supported on other
browsers.

I can only suggest that if you really want to play Hexic, you use IE for
that purpose.

So Internet Properties is part of IE? As I mentioned in my first message,
I'm using Firefox, not IE, so presumably I should instead be looking for
Firefox's equivalent.

However, I can't find anything regarding Objects or ActiveX in Firefox. I
found Extensions, which it says are 'small add-ons that add new
functionality to Firefox.' Is that what I'm looking for? There are no
extensions currently installed.
