According to mozilla ESR 52 supports add-ons including silverlight unti 2018. Whilst on 52.0 I was able to play SkyGo so Silverlight was indeed supported. However, a few days ago I was automatically updated to ESR 52.1.0 and since then I can no longer watch skygo - it states that browser no longer supports watching TV on this website. I have Windows XP SP3. Has anyone else had this problem, and is there a fix ?


Many Thanks,

Could you please not reuse existing questions, but could you please create a new thread for your question about Sky Go?

Note that 32 bit Firefox ESR should at least support all plugins, so you should first check that. You can check whether Silverlight is enabled in "Add-ons -> Plugins". See also the about:plugins page.
