I need to record on my IP cameras (Foscam and Wanscam) and need to use ActiveX controls. I only know of Internet Explorer having this add-on. My default browser is Firefox. I can open the cameras using Firefox, but cannot record. How can I download ActiveX to Firefox or is there something else I can use. Thank you.

ActiveX is is a technology specific to Internet Explorer, no other browser supports it nor wants to.

You would need other means to control the camera like a Java applet or a web based interface to be able to use the camera by other browsers apart from IE.
