How I can enable Silverlight in Firefox?

Chosen solution

The last browser that runs Silverlight as far as I know is Internet Explorer 11. On Windows 10, you can start Internet Explorer through the system search box. Type iexp and Windows should show you that familiar pale blue e to click on. If not, perhaps you need to enable a system feature.

Hi, Silverlight 5 support runs out at 10.12.2021 with IE11. I know the plugin isnt supported from your side since 2016, but IE11 isnt supported from our company IT, only edge opera and firefox. So if I would do reactivate the plugin manually in v68.12.0esr (If I can) would silverligth run?

So it must not be a job requirement to use Silverlight, or they have made it impossible to do your job.
