Can I connect to Windows 7 Remote Desktop with Firefox?

Question

I'd lilke to connect to my home Windows 7 Pro x64 PC from work. The only tool I have to do this with is Firefox.

I've tried running TSWeb on IIS for the RDP session but I can't connect.

I think it's due to Active X control requirements.

Can I access RDP through firefox at all?

UPDATE: Probably worth mentioning, the motivation for not using Logmein or similar is that their web pages are blocked by the office proxy. I'd like to host a webpage at home which allows me to control the PC, in the browser without activex. Thanks

UPDATE2: Is there perhaps any Java software I can run to host the remote session?

Solution

"No"

I haven't been able to find any mechanism to connect in the way I describe in my question.

Thank you to others who have given suggestions

You should be able to use the Remote Desktop client built into Windows. Otherwise there is always services like GoToMyPC which uses a browser plug-in.

does it have to be RDP or would other protocols work?

Since you mentioned Java, is properJavaRDP an option? It could also be run as an applet in Firefox.

but unfortunately, their page is blocked by my proxy :)
