I know that this question (how open Silverlight/Moonlight web pages in Ubuntu?) has been asked million of times, but it seems that no one of this solutions works for me. Even if I added legacy repositories, I'm still unable to install Moonlight plugin for Firefox.

Is there any way to resolve it or do I need to abandon Ubuntu and install Open Suse (which is natively supported by Novell Moonlight)?

  • What do you mean by "unable to install"? You'll need to be a lot more specific than that ;-) – Seth Jul 09 '13 at 21:43

“We have abandoned Moonlight.

enter image description here

Silverlight has not gained much adoption on the web, so it did not become the must-have technology that I thought would have to become. And Microsoft added artificial restrictions to Silverlight that made it useless for desktop programming.“ - Xamarin

enter image description here

You can download this novell-moonlight-39903-x86_64.xpi file, then right click and open with Firefox. This will install moonlight. Click install. That's it..

  • I agree that Pipelight is the way to go! Before Google Chrome added DRM code to their HTML5 implementation, the only option for watching Netflix on Linux was by using Pipelight. – Chuck R Sep 05 '14 at 13:34

Firefox checks whether a plug-in is computable with the current version of Firefox, and since there is no development with the moonlight plug-in it doesn't report that it is computable with the current version of Firefox. I found a add-on to disable the check here. after installing that you can enable or install moonlight.
