Hi alanyih, thanks with this you information.

i've founded the file here:

https://gitlab.c3sl.ufpr.br/le/unstable/blob/5433a780b9d4e89b63bcc1b3996a05d56020afb1/le-browser/pacote/etc/firefox/profile/extensions/moonlight@novell.com/plugins/libmoonloaderxpi.so

Re: silverlight / moonlight plugin for firefox

Try Pipelight

http://pipelight.net/cms/about.html

Pipelight is a wrapper for using Windows plugins in Linux browsers and therefore giving you the possibility to access services which are otherwise not available for Linux users. Typical examples of such services are Netflix and Amazon Instant, which both use the proprietary browser plugin Silverlight. These services cannot normally be used on Linux since this plugin is only available for Windows, and the only open source alternative (Moonlight) is lacking support for DRM.

Hi alanyih,

my experience on Slitaz is not so advanced to try compiling...

so your way (for me) is too much complex.

Thanks, however, for your help.

Re: silverlight / moonlight plugin for firefox

Hi,

i will try another way with the hope to close this thread.

Someone could explain me how i could install Mono starting from Debian package ?

i've found this site:

http://www.mono-project.com/docs/getting-started/install/linux/

if i'm not in mistake, Slitaz is a debian derivate.

If so, i would like to install this package.

On Web i haven't found any site that try to describe clearly how do something like this.

Someone of you is so kind to help me on this step ?

You are in mistake

Download the debian package then as root in a terminal

[c]tazpkg convert /[/c]way/to/your[c]/package.deb

tazpkg -i /[/c]way/to/your[c]/new_package.tazpkg[/c]

All supported packages formats in http://hg.slitaz.org/tazpkg/raw-file/tip/doc/tazpkg.en.html convert section
