This would be a reason for me to switch banks. ActiveX is one of the un-safest things MS has ever written...
In essence there is little difference between ActiveX and Firefox Extensions, they both serve the same purpose and by introducing Protected Mode to Internet Explorer the potential damage that a malicious ActiveX control could cause is miniscule.
I think the restriction to only using ActiveX is because there isn't an established alternative that would allow the same sort of thing to be done in a secure manner.0 -

I'm not (only) talking about malicious ActiveX controls. There have been so many exploits discovered in the past so that some organization advised to disable ActiveX.
