Description GNUtoo 2007-12-14 22:24:25 UTC 
http://www.rhapsody.com/install?playerVersion=rhapsodyeventsplayer&upgrade=false and http://www.go-mono.com/moonlight/ can't be installed and both have in common the installation via javascript... and i was told by a mono "build guy" that it was the cause of the failled installation...

firefox tells the plugin is not compatible with firefox 2.0.0.11 but on ubuntu with firefox 2.0.0.11 it works...


Reproducible: Always

Have you tried running firefox as root and installing them?
Comment 2 GNUtoo 2007-12-19 20:07:48 UTC 
even running it at root doesn't change anything...
Comment 3 GNUtoo 2007-12-19 20:17:00 UTC 
how can i change the bug to mask the url of moonlight because it hasn't been public?
i should rather reference to this installation method:

Is this still an issue with firefox 3.0? Also, www-plugins/moonlight is in-tree.

Please reopen if this bug is still an issue.
