Cannot get pipelight to appear in the list of plugins in firefox

Asked by Tim

I am running Fedora 22. I have tried installing pipelight using the rpms from rpmfusion and using the fedora 21 rpms as described on the pipelight site. Either way I get the same issue.

I have got to the point where "pipelight-plugin --system-check" is returning passed for all sections. I have silverlight or silverlight5.0 installed. However when I start firefox pipelight does not appear in the list of plugins, silverlight test pages say install silverlight and the pipelight diagnostics page doesn't see pipelight being installed. I get the same in Konqueror.

I have tried deleting ~/.wine-pipelight, running "pipelight-plugin --create-mozilla-plugins" and when I start firefox I get dialogs about installing pipelight, then silverlight, but it still doesn't work. Doing this and running firefox from the command line I get:

All done, no errors.

So it looks like the plugin didn't install correctly. If I enable silverlight 5.0 instead I get the same, with different version numbers.

If I try unity3d instead of silverlight I get a very similar error:

What is the output when running the following command?

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-pipelight WINE=/usr/share/pipelight/wine /usr/share/pipelight/install-dependency wine-silverlight5.1-installer

Do you get any error messages in the installer GUI, except that Windows update does not work?
Is there anything special about your system, for example $HOME is on a NFS share?
