Fix Novell Moonlight for Firefox 6, Firefox 7 (and beyond)

You can easily repack Moonlight to support Firefox 6, Firefox 7 and probably also for later versions. Following uses Ubuntu 11.04 to update Firefox Moonlight addons. Open the terminal and do something like the following (if you want to use 64-bit version, modify the commands accordingly):

wget http://go-mono.com/moonlight/downloads/3.99.0.3/novell-moonlight-3.99.0.3-i586.xpi
unzip novell-moonlight-3.99.0.3-i586.xpi
rm novell-moonlight-3.99.0.3-i586.xpi
rm -r META-INF
gedit install.rdf

Now change maxVersion to support Firefox 6 or 7 (or more). You can set it to * if you are OK with Moonlight crashing when it eventually drops actual compatibility with newer Firefox versions. Save the file and go back to terminal...

sudo apt-get install mozilla-devscripts
xpi-pack . novell-moonlight-3.99.0.3-i586.xpi

The working version should be in your current directory now.

If you don't want to be in control of repacking the addons, you may try the files at:

Take care!
