For any it might concern!
The Mozilla ActiveX Control recommended for download by Wine is based on a pre FireFox 1.0 gecko engine and is missing support for many web standards!
I was doing development in Windows and needed an Embedded browser. I wanted to also support Mozilla engine and was Quickly downloading the ActiveX from wine download page. (My installed FireFox does not supply one). My work involved embedding the FCKEditor (http://FCKEditor.sourceforge.net). So I installed and change the source code to use the Mozilla GUID and oops FCKEditor does not work.
After some investigation I found that even though the Control's package is from Q4/2005 the engine included is much older and belongs to Mozilla 1.6 or something. Since then the Mozilla package did not include a new Control and Has eventually stopped been released. (Do to FireFox replacing it).
The New (Mozilla 1.8) Control can only be found in the new SeaMonkey 1.0.x package, which is what I got. And with this control every thing works grate. (Even better than IE). Now SeaMonkey (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey) is a very large package and is not something a user would be Happy to be forced with. I did Package a one time Installation of the new Control, stripping down from SeaMonkey anything I could guess does not belong. But this is a one time Job and I'm not sure is the right solution. Maybe we should contact the Sea-Monkey maintainers and ask them to Also produce an "on the side" extra package for our sake. I have not done that yet ... Any body in contact with Mozilla.org?
