Chosen solution

I got solution for this problem, 1) I have added User.js file in default profile folder of mozilla i.e C:\Users\xpointers\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xb2fxdxi.default, I have added in user.js user_pref("extensions.ietab2.filterlist", "/^file:\\/\\/\\/.*\\.(mht|mhtml)$/ http://*update.microsoft.com/* http://www.windowsupdate.com/* http://www.UrWebsiteUrl.com/* ");

You can add n number of url for running In IETAb or IEtab2. User.js file overwrites prefs.js file .

2) for adding extensions automatically need to add addon, using code and need to change extensions.json file for new version of firefox ,for older version of firefox need to change in sqlite database.

Questions or features suggestions should be directed to the developer of IETab, Mozilla has nothing to do with that add-on.

Why just fix your website so that it doesn't rely on ActiveX?

Besides Firefox users on Windows PC's, what about Mac and Linux users?
