This is interesting. Silverlight installation is working on my IE7 I get the "Get Silverlight" image in Firefox. I uninstalled and reinstalled Silverlight but no change. I also installed the Silverlight Alpha Refresh. I am also on Vista Ultimate.
Any ideas why Silverlight would not work on my Firefox?
Yes, I've even rebooted. Flash, Acrobat Reader etc. plugins all work fine in FF. The Silverlight "Get it here" icon appears on pages with Silverlight content. I can always fire up IE7 to view the handfull of training videos done in Silverlight but its annoying.
Fortunately most of them are presented in Flash (ASP.NET, LINQ etc.).

Never mind. The issue was due to an add-on Firefox. It works now!

I'm interested in which add-on was causing this behavior, since I have the same problem.

I don't have either of those addons and Silverlight doesn't show up in my FireFox pages.

Is it possible that Silverlight is disabled? You should be able to check at about:plugins.

Are you running Firefox 3?
