Warning
Background
Since Windows Internet Explorer 11, the navigator object supports plugins and Internet media type (a.k.a. MIME type) properties. In addition, the window.ActiveXObject property is hidden from the Document Object Model (DOM) and it is not possible to determine if a plugin is present using this property.
Resolution
The web application should be re-engineered to use replacements for the window.ActiveXObject property.
