That means anyone who uses a Mac do not have to worry about Java.

I guess I need to think this whole thing over because I use many different computers and locations to view my security cameras.

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe Internet Explorer supports Activex not Firefox...??

I guess both browsers support Java or Activex (somehow anyway). Firefox supports mostly Java but can support Activex.

If I understood the tech support fella he said that my security cameras will only use Java for ie and when I use Firefox it will ask me to load Activex. I really don't understand the reason why but he said that is the only way to not use Java for my cameras. It must have something to do with their software. I have D-Link cameras and use mydlink.com to access them.


Confusing to say the least.
