The genealogy website americanancestors.org uses Silverlight to display graphic images of archived records. When such a record is displayed, the corresponding portion of the screen stays white. The image is apparently there, but presumably displaying white on white, so it is invisible. I can right-click and select "save original" and the record is saved correctly to my hard disk, and can then be viewed. But it cannot be viewed online in the Firefox tab.

I have uninstalled, re-installed, updated etc. to no avail. Is there some setting I am missing?

Thanks, Bob

I'm having a similar problem with an application hosted on another website - with the latest run time version of Silverlight 4.

Images will display in other browsers for that same application (like IE, Safari or Google Chrome), but will render as invisible or not render when being loaded in Firefox 9.0.1

I was having the same problem displaying investment charts that use Silverlight. I'm running Firefox 9.0.1 with Silverlight 5.0.61118.0 on Mac OS X 10.6.8. At least for me, it seems the problem is Silverlight only likes to run in 32-bit on a Mac (There was supposed to be a 64-bit version of Silverlight 5, but I can't seem to find it on the website). Running Firefox in 32-bit mode solved the problem.
