can't get moonlight to install on firefox 5.0
I was trying to install the latest version of moonlight but it said that it was not compatible with firefox 5.0. is there something that i can do to fix this? it worked when i had an older version.

You can try to download the Moonlight extension and bump the maxVersion from 4.0.* to 5.*
The extension is signed to protect the extension against changes, so you need to remove the META-INF folder that stores the data to verify the signing.

i tried that but firefox is now saying that the extension may be corrupted.
never mind i figured out what i forgot. i appreciate it very much
You're welcome
I found an other way: download the compatibility Reporter addon. this addon makes firefox to ignore the compatibility of the addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/?src=api
Now moonlight works fine for me!
I changed the maxVersion to 5.0* and removed META-INF folder but I am getting the same error "extension may be corrupt". What am I missing? I also tried installing compatibility Reporter addon, but it does not let me install moonlight. I checked extensions.checkCompatibility in about:config, and everything is set to false. Please help

Did you make sure that you didn't corrupt the extensions .xpi file by editing the maxVersion?
Which program did you use to edit the file?
I usually do that by editing the file directly from inside the archive (cursor right to open and F4 to edit).
Krusader allows this and probably other file managers as well (haven't tested this).
I extracted the .xpi file, opened install.rdf in gedit, changed maxVersion from 4.0.* to 5.0.*, saved it, deleted META-INF, zipped it, renamed it to xyz.xpi and tried opening in Firefox.
The workaround with Add-on Compatibility Reporter is o.k. but I have problems in newer versions of Firefox (7.0a2, 8.0a1) with one silverlight application:
Here http://2seeitlive.com/twic/ you see the application work with FF 5 but does not work properly. Errors in the console:

Any ideas?
riteshbafna, I had the exact same problem. I'm assuming you had created a new folder where you extracted all the files from the original .xpi file. It seems it doesn't like it if you zip the entire folder (because when unzipped it produces a folder, not the individual files). So I just opened the folder (after modifying the .rdf file and deleting the META-INF folder), did "Select All", right-clicked and chose "Compress", and renamed the resulting .zip file to .xpi. Voila!
