Summary: Kasperysky is not allowing to download the Visual Studio for windows.
Platform details:
OS: Windows 10
Browser: Chrome
Browser Extension: Kaspersky protection
Steps to reproduce:
Launch Visual Studio Code
Click on "Download for Windows" button
User will be redirected to Thanks for downloading VS Code for Windows
After 3rd step we will be blocked by Kaspersky antivirus saying that "Visiting a dangerous website has been prevented" (see below image)
Actual dangerous web address which is getting blocked: https://az764295.vo.msecnd.net/stable/6cba118ac49a1b88332f312a8f67186f7f3c1643/VSCodeUserSetup-x64-1.61.2.exe
Any reason why Visual Studio download web address is showing as dangerous and totally blocking us from downloading it? Is it safe to bypass and download it? Or, any other known issues which I am unaware of?

That's possibly due to a fake link in an ad, or something similar. It's pretty common and I often get alerts from Avast that it blocked URL:Blacklist threats via its Web Shield, too. I wasn't testing the reproduction, but...
If this happens again when you restart the Thank You page, I would recommend you temporarily turning off the Kaspersky extension until the file is installed and the tab is closed.
If you're using Kaspersky as your antivirus too, and it detects VS as malware, report this as a false positive (if you're sure it is a false positive) and create an exception.
Think that should resolve your problem.

I'm using Visual Studio 2015 and Browser Link doesn't work with Firefox.
IE and Chrome work perfectly with Browser Link.
Just got a new machine, but that didn't help either.
I tried the prerequisites mentioned in the browserlink dashboard (for static files, enable debugging) and I use IIS express, so .NET 4.0 is there.
Are there any more settings needed in Firefox?
In the network view, I just don't receive a response from the server, 0 bytes transferred.
Network trace:
Found it, the main website was running on 44300, browserlink seems to run on 44399 (although that port isn't visible in IIS express)
Browse to https://localhost:44399 gave me the Firefox "This Connection is Untrusted" screen, where I needed to trust("confirm security exception") the self signed IIS certificate (just like what I had done on the https://localhost:44300 site)
So it seems Firefox remembers trusted certificates per port number, not per DNS/IP/Name like IE and Chrome seem to do.
Now the browserlink is working and downloading the files.
I don't have IIS running locally, but ran into a similar problem running the app locally with Visual Studio 2019.
The suggestion by Erik fixed the problem for me as well. Browsing to https://localhost:44399/ and accepting the certificate worked in Firefox Developer.
Some more details from Microsoft regarding self-signed certificates:

I've found quite a few posts of similar issues, but I still am having trouble getting this resolved.
I have a TFS repository I know I have access to with my Microsoft account. I'm currently using it on my laptop as I'm typing this, and if I go there via chrome, I am having no issues.
I finally got my desktop up and running again, and after a fresh windows/VS 2013 install, I am getting unauthorized when trying to connect to team projects. I'm using the same credentials that are being using through Visual Studio on my laptop, and in chrome.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
Please use below ways to narrow down the issue.
Try to disable the Antivirus software on your desktop
Try to disable your firewall on your desktop and try again
If you are using VPN on your desktop, please disable it.
Clear TFS and VS cache in your desktop.
Clear the account info from the Credential Manager (Control Panel) both in
your laptop and desktop, then try it again.
Team -> Manage Connexions... -> re-select your project
Close Visual Studio > Reboot all servers in the Topology.
I am an administrator on TFS. If I am in the office (connected to the domain directly) I can change the build definition easily, but when I use VPN it says "Downloading Custom Assemblies" and never finishes downloading. What is the problem with that? Does anybody encounter this issue?
Is it the same machine? If not make sure you have upgraded VS 2013 to at least update 2, I've seen this problem with vanilla VS 2013 installations.
If it is the same machine you could try adding the URL for the TFS server to the trusted sites in your internet options.
If that doesn't work then it's probably a proxy server preventing the download of binary files. You need to speak to your network team and ask them for some help
Our Silverlight app has met one issue which can only be reproduced in one specific PC with IE9(x64)(this issue can’t be reproduced in dev machine with the same version of IE),so we need use remote debugging, however, it seems not possible because it always tell me that cannot attach to the IE process (use Visual Studio 2010).
I find that http://forums.silverlight.net/t/100057.aspx/1 tells Silvelight does not support remote debugging? Is there any update on this? Any idea to enable debugging in such scenario?
I have an Outlook add-in that is working fine for every client. They get the installation (ClickOnce) from the web, install it and run it without any problem. However, I just got this client that it's complaining about seeing that "Microsoft Office Customization Installer" window (and of course, downloading and installing the add-in again) every time he logs off and logs back (he can close outlook and re-open it without any issues). BTW, He is using a Terminal Services environment.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and/or how to solve it?
It is probably a policy or login script that removes any installed applications. You'd best talk to his system administrator.
