In the IE has the ActiveX that allows me to know if a record exists.

Is there a way to Firefox and Google Chrome that allows me to know if a particular record also exists (using javascript) either through plugin or another method?

According to this response in the OS, for Chrome is not possible.

In Firefox, the documentation says it is possible through XPCOM using the API nsIWindowsRegKey which has been introduced in Firefox since version 1.5.

Another alternative is to use a Java applet to have more complete access to the PC, as in some bank sites that install "security software".

With Javascript, Google Chrome will not be able to access the Windows registry for security reasons. Maybe with Microsoft Activex you can get a little more permission, but Javascript is not meant to interfere with the system core.
