To follow-up on this sitituation:

Someone finally documented how to make the TurboTax work with Firefox on 
Linux.  Essentially you have to spoof the user-agent to report as Firefox on 
Windows.  Then the web application will work and not try to crankup ActiveX 
components.  The user-agent settings are documented here:

We are just going to use taxact despite this spoofing information.  They don't 
require that you lie to them about what browser and OS you are using.  :^)
