Actually I always thought SIlverlightDesktop did work with Firefox since Silverlight works with Firefox. However, the first time I tried it I got nothing, just a blank screen.  For some reason I assumed it was the web service since Silverlight uses the web browsers communication stack. However 3 hours of reworking it I realized that even if I took all the web services out it still would not show anything. 

Fast-forward 2 hours and I have replaced the assemblies in the bin directory and tried every possible configuration to no avail.

I created another Silverlight application that did work with Firefox but I could not figure out what the difference was. Finally I found it. In the SIlverlightDesktop.aspx file I had the word “tag” with a lowercase ‘t”. It needs to be “Tag” with an upper case “T”.

I posted the update to the source code repository. A new install release should be available next week.

Original code: SilverlightDesktop.aspx

New Code: SilverlightDesktop.aspx
