FWIW, as others have already said, I think it's dead. I did manage to
get Moonlight to install and run inside Firefox on Linux about
18mth-2y ago now, but it still couldn't successfully play Silverlight
video. It hasn't worked in any current version of Firefox for ages - a
year or so, I think.

If you install one of the old ESR editions of Firefox - 17 or more
likely 10 - you *might* be able to get it working, but it probably
won't do what you need anyway.
