Suddenly today Visual Web Developer does not allow me to debug Silverlight applications.

This happens in 2008 and 2010 versions.

It gives no error message, just ignores all break points.

It can still debug ASP.NET applications.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Interesting: debugging works in Internet Explorer but not in Firefox. Also on a new installation on a second computer it debugs in both IE and FF. Just noticed that that FF browser is still version 3.6.3.

I cleared everything in Firefox (3.6.4) but it still doesn’t debug in that browser (on two computers):

    Regarding the debugging: I think it
    would be possible to write a VS plugin
    or similar to attach to the
    plugin-container.exe process
    automatically, however there’s a
    simpler solution. You can disable the
    new isolation feature in Firefox:

    Type “about:config” into FF’s address
    bar Accept the warning (if applicable)
    Search for the entry
    “dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll”
    Change its value from “true” to
    “false” (double-click) Restart the
    browser
