[SOLVED] pipelight not recognized by browsers

Hello everyone,

    I'm trying to install pipelight so I can use silverlight, however, I seem to have run into an impasse.  I tried via both the repository and aur, and it seems to have given the same results. 

Here's what I currently have installed:

[slackcub@Sisko ~]$ yaourt -Q | grep -iP '(pipe|silver)light'
local/pipelight 1:0.2.8-2
local/wine-silverlight 1.7.40-1
[slackcub@Sisko ~]$ 

When I run Firefox, I don't get any errors:

[slackcub@Sisko ~]$ firefox

(process:27336): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed
[slackcub@Sisko ~]$

~/.wine-pipelight was created the first time I opened firefox, however when I go to about:plugins, it doesn't show up there.  When I go to the test site listed on the wiki for pipelight, I get a message prompting me to install silverlight. 

Not sure what other diagnostic information is needed to help with this.

Edit: Corrected subject

What is the output of the following:

pipelight-plugin --list-enabled

So I got this working.  I had to delete ~/.wine-pipelight, run sudo pipelight-plugin --create-mozilla-plugins and start up firefox and all was good.
