IE Security

I was fiddling with a few FileSystemObject scripts in Javascript, and having to use Internet Explorer to test them is a pain because of Mozilla Firefoxes' amazing ability to kill anything with the word script in (In a good way, that is).

Does anyone know how to get the FileSystemObject scripting compatible in Firefox 1.0 and to get past that annoying ActiveX thing asking you if you wish to let it run? Thanks

PS... I wonder how porn sites do it

The FileSystemObject is an ActiveX Object, and therefore it is impossible to use it in Firefox without some kind of extension that makes the browser really insecure. IE asks viewers if they want to let the file system object run because it can be VERY dangerous. There is probably some kind of unknown security hole that lets you get past that, though, because IE is full of those all over the place.
