I know that this question (how open Silverlight/Moonlight web pages in Ubuntu?) has been asked million of times, but it seems that no one of this solutions works for me. Even if I added legacy repositories, I'm still unable to install Moonlight plugin for Firefox.
Is there any way to resolve it or do I need to abandon Ubuntu and install Open Suse (which is natively supported by Novell Moonlight)?
“We have abandoned Moonlight.
Silverlight has not gained much adoption on the web, so it did not become the must-have technology that I thought would have to become. And Microsoft added artificial restrictions to Silverlight that made it useless for desktop programming.“ - Xamarin
You can download this novell-moonlight-39903-x86_64.xpi file, then right click and open with Firefox. This will install moonlight. Click install. That's it..
The below linked help me to install pipelight instead of moonlight. Charts are working fine now.

Firefox checks whether a plug-in is computable with the current version of Firefox, and since there is no development with the moonlight plug-in it doesn't report that it is computable with the current version of Firefox. I found a add-on to disable the check here. after installing that you can enable or install moonlight.
