[opensuse] Installing Moonlight add-on to Firefox 8

Since one of my important service providers upgraded their GUI at their
web site and now it requires MS Silverlight add-on to be viewed. The
option for Linux users seem to be installing Novell Moonlight add-on
instead.
On my Ubuntu 11.10 machine, I followed a way around posted at ask ubuntu
to install it into Firefox8 and it's working
http://askubuntu.com/questions/80293/moonlight-extension-not-working-with-firefox-8
However, when I tried the same way on OpenSuSE 12.1 machine, I still got
"not compatible with Firefox 8" error on the Firefox 8.

Can anyone tell me why? I tweaked the installation file to allow
installation up to v9 so I thought the platform didn't matter. My guess
is some config on both Firefoxes are different but I don't know where to
look at.

Also if anyone knows other alternatives of Silverlight, please let me
know.

Toshi
