doctor-z 0 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I have the latest version of firefox (23.0.1) and sometimes, not always, when I close it a window pops up telling me this: "One or more ActiveX controls could not be displayed because either: 1) Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page, or 2) You have blocked a publisher of one of the controls. As a result, the page may not display correctly." I did a google search but nothing helped me. Some registry settings like "1200" in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\0 are as they should be. I also posted my problem to another forum and they told me that the antivirus is the cause (I didn't tell them which is my antivirus). So, what's wrong?

ESET Insiders PodrskaNORT 17 Posted August 27, 2013 ESET Insiders Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) doctor-z, Do you have installed Internet Explorer / ActiveX components addin or something like that for Firefox? Afaik, Firefox does not support activeX natively... https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ActiveX My point is - ESET's program is not causing this error.

Arakasi 549 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled Try that and see if you still have the error. Will need to use it for a while till you see or dont see the error. Report back findings. This will eliminate addons as issue or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor-z 0 Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 As I told you above, this message appeared rarely when utorrent's window popped up or closed. Yesterday utorrent updated itself to beta version 3.3.2 build 30067. Since then, every time pc starts up the above message appears without any action by me.

Arakasi 549 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Well , going forward, anytime i see uTorrent on one of my clients machines, i strip it off. Its used for downloading yes , but its also used for pirating software from other users via ptp There are several programs out there that block ptp and block programs like bittorrent , utorrent, azureus/vuze etc. Try uninstalling that, then uninstalling firefox and reinstalling firefox, and see if your error persists. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor-z 0 Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 I just unchecked utorent's startup option and I am running firefox normally (Add-ons enabled) and the message has not appeared since then. I did no unistallation/reinstallation. As the message appeared 99% after closing firefox, can somebody explain me why the message was appearing then? Was utorrent creating problem to firefox? Is that possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESET Moderators Aryeh Goretsky 353 Posted September 2, 2013 ESET Moderators Share Posted September 2, 2013 Hello, This sounds like a bug in the beta build of µTorrent installed on the computer. I would recommend reporting the issue in their support forum. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor-z 0 Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) I reported the issue in the support forum of utorrent and after disabling all advertisement options the problem solved. I still cannot understand why this message appeared when firefox was closing. Edited September 6, 2013 by doctor-z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
