GWT plugin for Safari (Mac) - macos

I am developing GWT+GAE application. In dev mode, I can successfully open the app in FF and Chrome. However, when I try to open it in Safari, I get the missing plugin window. After I click on it, it downloads the dmg which I use to install (I get the successfully installed dialog) However, when I restart Safari, I get the same result. Anybody faced a similar situation? Any workaround?

There is no Safari Dev Mode Plugin
I know two workarrounds:
Use OmniWeb
Use SuperDev Mode

After using Selenium on macOS, Chrome isn't the same

I installed selenium and used a python program to run chrome using selenium on my MacBook Air. Before there was an error on selenium, and after installing googlechrome drivers for selenium and creating a PATH using terminal, it opened a separate google chrome page that showed Chrome is being controlled by automated test software.
After around 30 minutes of running python and using selenium, I saved and closed out of everything.
In the next 2 minutes, I reopened Google Chrome to search something about web scraping, and the browser was the same one used by selenium. It still showed the Chrome is being controlled by automated test software notice, and there was a Chrome Automation Extension.
I tried:
logging in and syncing, but syncing was not available.
opening Google Chrome from application folder and dock, but nothing changed
deleting Google Chrome and reinstalling, but nothing changed
I don't know how to fix this. Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance!
Ok, so I found out that the chromedriver was still running in the background. After I closed it using activity monitor, the problem was solved.

IT Hit WebDav protocol installer fails with Firefox

I am using the latest version of Firefox (57.0.4) to test my IT Hit WebDav server implementation. When I attempt to open a file other than MS Office I expect to be prompted to install the protocol installer. Rather than being prompted I get a dialog that says I need to install something from the Windows App Store. I see the same behavior with Edge.
Both Chrome and IE are behaving as expected. It appears to be supported by Firefox.
I also tested using the Ajax browser on Firefox and it fails as well.
Thanks!
The issue with Firefox is fixed in the IT Hit WebDAV Ajax Library v5.
You can find a detailed answer about why the protocol app is not detected and the callback is called here.

WebStorm and Firefox - sync

I am working on WebStorm and Chrome. It allows me to live coding.
I would like to change Chrome to Firefox, because it has not got problems with set mobile view.
So, how can I set live coding with WebStorm and Firefox?
I want to write code and see changes on screen without saving. Any tips?
Live Edit in FireFox is not currently supported, please vote for WEB-1805.
WebStorm doesn't provide integration with available third-party solutions, but you can still use Browsersync, etc. - start it in terminal or using Gulp/Grunt file, open your application URL in FireFox, hit Save All in WebStorm to get edited files saved - page will be updated

Silverlight not working in Firefox 3.6.12

We are having some wierd behavior in firefox with silverlight. We have tried everything and I am hoping for some more ideas. Below is the behavior
Install firefox (3.6.12) and silverlight (4.0.50917.0). The versions there are locked and not controlled by us and on all our users machines.
Visit our silverlight application (also tried simple application with just a background)
Instead of seeing our application, you see "Get Microsoft Silverlight"
-- (about:plugins reports silverlight 4.0.50917.0 installed and enabled)
Visit site in IE, app works
Install or uninstall any plug-in (tried Firebug and IETab2)
After install, click "Restart" when prompted
After FF restarts, silverlight works as expected
Close firefox and reopen.
Once again, silverlight is broken
Any ideas? We tried the CWDIllegalInDllSearch entry in the registry to no avail. Please help!
I think it is a problem with Firefox that has been fixed with Version 3.6.14. See this BugReport on Bugzilla. A memory leak in prior versions, cause some problems in the Silverlight detection script of Firefox.
I can only suggest to update Firefox to version 3.6.14. But before i would try it in a local test environment to check if its really a bug in Firefox.
Update:
It seems to be a general problem with Firefox 3.6.x, cause some users report the same error as your with higher versions than 3.6.14. See here and here.
The only thing that springs to mind is disabling the plugin-container
In Firefox address bar type about:config
Read the warning, choose your preference to always remind you or not and accept
In the search bar of the config options now type: npctrl
You should then see the entry: dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll
Change the value from true to false (simply double-clicking will change this for you)
Restart Firefox
EDIT
There is another workaround which is to disable then re-enable silverlight plugin. Rather than re-isntalling.

Firefox emulator

I don't know if this is the correct site, but do you know if there is a good emulator for mobile firefox out there? I want to make some tests on mobile firefox and I don't have a smartphone available :S
Mozilla provides windows, linux and mac os versions of Firefox mobile: https://www.mozilla.com/en/mobile/download/
You can use Firefox OS Simulator, too. It's a browser add-on. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-os-simulator/
Take note: When you install this add-on and encountered a pop-up related to the add-on, just press "Continue" and NOT.. I repeat NOT "Stop Script" :)
