How to access a Hikvision device on Firefox?

In order to view the Hikvision cameras or NVR/DVR using Firefox, you need to install the Firefox ESR version. ESR stands for 'Extended Support Release', which means that even though a newer version of Firefox may be out, the ESR version will still support the plugins for an extended period of time. In other words, the ActiveX plugin is supported by Firefox ESR.
Step 1. Download and install the Firefox ESR version. Note: This will overwrite your existing version of FireFox if you had it installed previously. However it will keep all of your Configurations, Favorites and Settings.

Open the file once downloaded and follow the Setup Wizard that comes up when you open the file. Once the setup is complete, click 'Finish'. The program will then run automatically.

Step 3. Install the ActiveX plugin when prompted.
Step 4. Re-enter the username and password. Check if you can see the live view.
