[SOLVED] How to get silverlight work in Linux?

I am having to take a distance learning class in my University. And for some stupid reason, they are using Silverlight.

How can I get it working on my ArchLinux? Is Moonlight still around? Is it somewhere in AUR?

Does anyone have any experience running Silverlight inside VirtualBox? It failed for me so far..

I have not tested it in the past few weeks but normally you can just install the firefox plugin available here:

It should install in your account as a plugin.

Unfortunately moonlight can't handle bigger apps like ArcGIS Explorer online, but for small issues it is okay.
