moonlight plugin 3.0 with Firefox 11.0

Hello,

I have one problem with Firefox v11.0 with the last moonlight plugin. It doesn’t work because of incompatibility.
I use Open Suse 11.4 (version x86-64).

Could you help me to solve this issue ?

Regards,

Does it not work only because the version check disabled it, or does it really not work?

Assuming it’s the former, look for the install.rdf file for moonlight. Mine is in ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile>/extensions/moonlight@novell.com. Open it in a text editor and look for this section:

    <em:targetApplication> <!-- Firefox -->
      <Description>
        <em:id>{some id number}</em:id>
        <em:minVersion>1.5</em:minVersion>
        <em:maxVersion>4.0.*</em:maxVersion>
      </Description>

Change the 4.0 to 11.0, or any higher number if you don’t want to have to do this again every time you upgrade. (I changed mine to 100.0.) Save the file.

This should get you past the version check and make moonlight active again, but keep in mind that doing that could cause problems if moonlight really is incompatible with Firefox 11.

HI,
We should not have to install moonlight (real pain). Use gecko-mediaplayer instead.
