firefoxpipelightwine
I installed pipelight and try to enable silverlight with
sudo pipelight-plugin --enable silverlight
And receive the message "Plugin silverlight5.1 is now enabled". But when I go to this page http://fds-team.de/pipelight/ with Firefox, the test is failed for silverlight. In about:plugins, there is no mention of silverlight whatsoever.
Thanks
I got it working by purging the icetea7 and jdk, and reinstalling them. It will tell you that you need to install icetea 6 and openjdk6 when you try to purge the files, do it. Then reinstall the icedtea 7 plugin and dependencias, and it should work.

You can use Pipelight to provide you with Silverlight support.
To install it:#
Make sure to close your browser first, if not you will need to run an extra command.
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mqchael/pipelight
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pipelight
Add the repositories to your software sources:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mqchael/pipelight
After refreshing your sources, install pipelight
If this icon doesn't work simply search for it in the Software Center.
rm -rf ~/.wine-pipelight/

Or this one (Chrome):
You can probably use Silverlight 5 on top of a Windows Browser using Wine. I have not tested this option but it is pretty reasonable and straight forward.
If you don't want to give up Linux, but can't get anything else to work, this is the best bet. You need a valid copy of Windows however as I won't give steps for pirating.
