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

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. :^)
