One of our customers has found that Chrome on a Mac (OS 10.10.2) did not respond to the Silverlight plug-in instructions discussed here http://mosaicvivarium.blogspot.com/2015/04/chrome-42.html
However, this same customer found a solution using the Chrome app shown below.
Meanwhile, we’re continuing our transition completely away from Silverlight.
Chrome (and Firefox) are phasing out support for “NPAPI” plug-ins. This includes things like Apple QuickTime, but most importantly for Mosaic users, Microsoft Silverlight.
With version 42 Chrome will act like Silverlight is not installed:
To correct this enter
chrome://flags/#enable-npapi
in your browser address bar and locate the setting shown below. Press “Enable”:
Now the link will read “Disable” and a “Relaunch Now” button will appear at the bottom of your screen. Press it:
Cage-side Assistant Silverlight functionality will be restored.
You can read more details here: http://www.chromium.org/developers/npapi-deprecation
In particular, read the April 2015 section: Google is making it “more difficult to navigate, as a means of discouraging NPAPI use by developers.”
The Mosaic team is making progress with the pure-web version of the Cage-side Assistant and expects to meet the September 2015 deadline for loss of browser support for Silverlight.
