The more common variation of this category is a site that is built against a Beta or Release Candidate that isn't publicly released to end-users.
If you have or find a site like this, tell the site author to either take the content down or update it to work with an officially released version of Silverlight. Installing the currently released Silverlight runtime doesn't register the Beta mime type so you just get prompted again.
But, the infinite install prompt rears its ugly head when sites use the Beta mime type but link to the currently released Silverlight installer instead of the link we asked them to use. We also told people to use a special Beta-specific installer URL so that use of the mime type wouldn't be horrible because the URL goes to a page on mscom/Silverlight that says the site you visited was built against a Beta that is no longer available. We knew ahead of time that the Beta releases would NOT be compatible with the final Silverlight 2 so we gave them special mime types that only work for those Beta releases. On the less obvious and far more common end, I've come across a number of sites that were built to target one of the Silverlight 2 Beta releases and they specify the Beta-specific application/x-silverlight-2-b1 or application/x-silverlight-2-b2 mime types in the object tag. But it isn't the Container that is causing the.
I am using Windows 7 64bit Ultimate and for some reason I had a problem that I have seen many people on here was having and was blaming Firefox's Plugin Container when watching Netflix or anything using Microsoft's Silverlight.
Open the Downloads page and double-click on Silverlight.dmg. When a Silverlight dialog box opens, select Install Now. Open Netflix and select any title to play. Follow the steps below to install the Silverlight plug-in on your Mac computer. Silverlight is the browser plug-in that allows you to watch TV shows and movies on your computer. This isn't common because the site won't work for anyone. On a Mac, check /Library/Internet Plug-Ins to see if ugin is there. Why do I keep getting prompted to install Silverlight on some websites? If you are on Windows, check the Programs Control Panel applet and see if Microsoft Silverlight is is listed as installed. It says it downloads successfully, but when I got to watch say Netflix or use it for one of my online lectures it says that I haven't downloaded it. Silverlight Not Working On My Mac I am able to download Silverlight onto my Mac, but I cannot get it to work.
Microsoft is holding out support for another 3 years on Silverlight.Silverlight Not Working On My Mac I am able to download Silverlight onto my Mac, but I cannot get it to work. I understand that Silverlight is old, but if my company assumes the security risk around using Silverlight then I say make it possible to run Silverlight. I'm still holding out some hope that I can run Silverlight but I may need to roll back to High Sierra as this is critical for my work.
All of the Apple documentation I have found notes that Safari no longer supports NPAPI but doesn't say anything else about the Mac OS Mojave blocking other applications from using these types of plugins.Ĭan you shed any light around Silverlight being completely dead on Mac OS Mojave users? Should the notes around NPAPI really have just said that Silverlight can't be run on Mac OS Mojave period instead of just on Safari. I along with other users of a company Silverlight application have updated to Mac OS Mojave.
At that point Firefox ESR 52.1.0 still ran Silverlight. I was on Mac OS High Sierra and Silverlight was working on Safari until I installed Safari 12. I am using Firefox ESR 52.1.0 on a MacBook.
