Macos – Silverlight 3 on Mac OS X in Firefox 3.5 doesn’t work!

firefoxfirefox3.5macossilverlight-2.0silverlight-3.0

I'm trying to upgrade my site to Silverlight 3. All my customers are having a reasonabily good experience from upgrading to Silverlight 3 from Silverlight 2 or just a fresh install.

But on Mac OS X in Firefox 3.5, after Silverlight is installed they cant view any Silverlight apps, it's just blank on screen. No errors, I can right click on the app and access the Silverlight Preferences etc, but nothing renders. But it works absolutely fine in Safari.

Has anyone else had this problem?

BTW, I have also restarted the machine, but no luck.

Cheers,
Ash.

There was a fourth way :

in the object parameters where u have width and height, just set height to a fixed size in pixels.

<object data="data:application/x-silverlight-2," type="application/x-silverlight-2" width="100%" height="600px">

it will appear correctly now on Firefox.

The problem stay a bug but u can use that work-around.

The problem in the future will be to define the host div height dynamically if the silverlight height change while using it.
