But the fact that silverlight doesn't work straight out of the box, is just a turn off for me. If silverlight standalone isnt stable enough and also on IE7-8 browser, you cant really expect much from the guys at mozilla to fix the problem immediately. Well from what i have read there is no "quick fix" as yet! Hopefully this annoying issue thats currently lingering in the air gets fixed because i have seen what silverlight has to offer and it would be great to head down that path. Till then lets lay silverlight to rest!

I don't know/care who's at fault here, but this is a little annoying. Also makes me wonder if there's not potentially a quick settings "fix" to make it work again.

Apparently firefox 3 has changed the way plugins are rendered/how objects are instantiated so it doesnt load the silverlight plugin correctly. (silverlight itself is not upto my expectations and wouldnt entierly recommend it atm) Peace Out!
