The usual unwanted, undesired, "for my own good" firefox update has killed silverlight, in both firefox and IE. The machine is XP based, and yes I know it's old but it's what I have to use. How do I get Firefox to rollback to a usable version, or how do I get Silverlight to work with this one. And please, MozillaNazis, don't give me the same tired bullshit about how I'm "more secure" with your untested "updates" being crammed down my throat: what difference does it make how secure my computer is if your crap makes it unusable?

Firefox doesn't kill silverlight in Firefox, and it's not at all possible for it to kill it in IE. Possibly you need to re-install silverlight (It's a buggy program). http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
