Yep, like MisterMe said, ActiveX has never been nor will it ever be compatible with Mac OS X. It will remain strictly Windows-centric, only supported from within Internet Explorer running natively under a Windows operating system. Your only option is to run Internet Explorer under Windows on your Mac -- either via virtualization (VirtualBox, Parallels, etc.) or via BootCamp.

If the web page you're trying to use is ActiveX-based, then there is no possible way to get it to work on any browser in Mac OS X.

You're on a snipe hunt if you're trying to make ActiveX work on Mac OS X -- it simply will just not work, no matter how hard you try.

Not to mention that even though you're extracted some files from a .CAB file, you will never be able to make those files work with any browser under Mac OS X. They're Windows-specific files -- to Mac OS X, they're just a bunch of gibberish.
