XBAP won't run in Mozilla Firefox

Question

I try to open a XAML Browser Application in Firefox, but it always displays an open/save dialog and for each option keeps opening a new tab.

Is there any solution?

The question is not very clear, what do you mean by xamp application or Xaml application as in your title?! — Bassem, Feb 20 '12 at 10:47
I think my question is clear enough. I have a xbap application, and i want to run it from an iframe in a aspx page, with mozilla firefox browser. When i do this, it will keep opening browser tabs and showing the open/save file dialog. Although directly from Visual Studio it will run it with no issues. — catalin ilie, Feb 21 '12 at 06:48

Firefox doesn't support XAML or XBAP applications. The only thing I'm aware of that does is Internet Explorer. Therefore, what you're seeing is expected behaviour. Firefox is treating them as a filetype it can't handle itself and downloading it.

Searching around i found that moving the npwpf.dll file into plugin folder of mozilla, will make things work. Is there in this action something illegal? I mean, am i allowed to do so? – catalin ilie Feb 21 '12 at 07:05

You need WPF plug-in to run XBAP in Firefox.
