However, I developed a website using VBScript and Office Web Components (OWC11) which works fine with Internet Explorer but it does not work with FireFox
In Mozilla it is clearly written that Firefox does not accept VBScript or ActiveX. Is there a way to solve this issue for my website (I do not want to reprogram everything)?

Vbscript and OWC ... are written for IE (which supports them) ... and will not woirk in any other browser that is not IE based ... so the easy way would be to check for IE and not allow nonIE user on your site .....
the solution is to not use IE ONLY coding (activex, vbscripts, M$javascripts, etc) and make your site 100% web standards .....
