There is an ActiveX add-in for Mozilla, if lack of
ActiveX is the problem.

But why oh why oh why would you want to move to Linux
and keep ActiveX, the source of so many security
problems.  It's your call of course, but I say ditch
MSN groups :-).

You can also make Mozilla pretend it is IE6 (or any
other agent), so that for all practical purposes,
Microsoft will think it is.  See here:
