[Bug 1563511] [NEW] Moonlight is dead but docs say to install it

 

Public bug reported:

This page:

https://help.ubuntu.com/16.04/ubuntu-help/net-install-moonlight.html

recommends installing the Moonlight plug-in to view Silverlight content.

The Moonlight web site states that Moonlight is no longer actively
developed and recommends moving away from it as soon as possible, but
mentions you might be able to make it work by compiling from source:

http://www.mono-project.com/docs/web/moonlight/

The help docs should probably no longer recommend installing Moonlight.
