Silverlight will not load
Silverlight will crash with no error report on any website that uses it. I have uninstalled Silverlight following the instructions from Microsoft then reinstalled it, still no change. I have uninstalled Firefox Aurora and reinstalled with no effect.

Is it crashing the plugin container, but not Firefox? If so, you could exclude it from being handled by the plugin container. Worth a try, anyway. You will have to add the setting in about:config.
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.i386.Silverlight.plugin - set to false
I have looked in about config and the setting you specified is not there. Is this why the plugin isn't working? I have tried a clean install of both Firefox and Silverlight yet still no luck.
Be aware that if you disable the plugin-container for a plugin that Firefox will crash instead of the plugin-container process, so be cautious with doing that.
You can try the Firefox 13 beta version (that will become the new release next week) instead of the Aurora 14 alpha version (nightly build) that you currently have.
Would you say that it is an issue with Aurora? I would prefer to stay on this release as it has support for full screen in Lion which I find very useful. I'll try the beta though and see if Silverlight works and keep you posted. Thank you for the continuing assistance.
If you try out the beta version then you can see if that works better.
See this article about how to install multiple versions on Mac OS X:
Silverlight and Netflix load fine on the Beta release. The issue I was having must be a bug in the Aurora version.

Sometimes one has to do that because the media crash the plugin container but not Firefox. Real Media does exactly that. I had to exclude it from the plugin container. Some larger Quicktime items do that as well.
