I have chosen SSRS to deliver ad-hoc reports via Report Models to my user. However I did not consider fully how this would work in different browsers.
I have now found that the Report Builder download (which is a Click Once application) does not work on Firefox. Instead of running and installing the application it only gives the option to "Save File". This puts the file ReportBuilder.application into the download list. When you then select to install it the install starts (the "Verifying application requirements" dialogue displays) but then there is an error. Details of the error are: -
ERROR SUMMARY
Below is a summary of the errors, details of these errors are listed later in the log.
* Activation of C:\Users\hobsong\Downloads\ReportBuilder(5).application resulted in exception. Following failure messages were detected:
+ Downloading file:///C:/Users/hobsong/Downloads/ReportBuilder.exe.manifest did not succeed.
+ Could not find file 'C:\Users\hobsong\Downloads\ReportBuilder.exe.manifest'.
+ Could not find file 'C:\Users\hobsong\Downloads\ReportBuilder.exe.manifest'.
+ Could not find file 'C:\Users\hobsong\Downloads\ReportBuilder.exe.manifest'.
I'm surprised by this lack of compatibility. Is it the same for all Click Once apps in Firefox?
Is there anything I can do?
You could try querying Google for "clickonce firefox" for some quick answers.
Or I could spoil you the fun and point you directly to FFClickOnce, a Firefox add-on created explicitely to allow Firefox users to download and run Click-one applications.
I was able to get the FFClickOnce extension to work on Firefox 4. I did so by opening the XPI extension file and modifying the 'install.rdf' to work for Firefox versions up to 4.0. I haven't played around with it too much, but it worked on SSRS 2008 R2.

I am facing the chrome extension issue. The following is the issue:
“UiPath.Core.BrowserOperationException: Cannot communicate with the browser, please check the UiPath extension”
I have UiPath Robot only so I cannot install extension from Studio. I am running the package from the tray.
Things I did to solve the issue by myself:
Removed extension and installed again (multiple times).
Cleared browsing data before execution.
Update the package few times.
Restarted my machine.
It's not clear whether you have installed the extension from the Chrome web store, but it is preferable to install the extension using the following command:
C:\Program Files\UiPath\Studio\UiPath\SetupExtensions.exe /chrome
This will work without having Studio installed. Also bear in mind that if you are launching Chrome in Incognito, you will need to explicitly allow the extension in Incognito by going to the following URL in Chrome:
chrome://extensions/
Choose "Details" on the UiPath extension, and "Allow in Incognito".
Further information can be found here: Extension for Chrome
Try this.
1 Use the StartProcess to start Internet explorer exe file from program files.
2 Send Url as argument eg “www.abc.com”
3 Use on element appear to check if the home page is loaded.
4 Attach browser and use the browser variable to pass to other workflows.
After hours and hours trying to get things working, I have this error in my console:
[CustomizableUI] Widget action-button--myAddonID-misspelutton not found, unable to remove from inner-toolbar-myAddonID-the-title-of-my-addon1 CustomizableUI.jsm:171
So, the addon's widget id is misspelled somehow and stuck somewhere. The term does not appear in any of my code.
Details: I originally built this addon using XUL overlays, and am rebuilding it with the Firefox AddOn SDK. I think (but I'm not sure) this problem happens like this: I installed my signed addon from the Firefox Addon Repo, and then I used jpm post --post-url http://localhost:8888/ to install it into Firefox Developer Edition running the Extension Auto-Installer.
In my code I had this, but I've removed it and everything that pertains to it:
const { CustomizableUI } = Cu.import('resource:///modules/CustomizableUI.jsm', {});
[update]
I have also tried this: uninstall the addon, enter customization mode and choose "Restore to Defaults" which resets all the toolbars to default. Then I exited Firefox and restarted it. When I run jpm to install the addon, the error code persists.
Funny thing also is this: when I view the button using the toolbox inspector, it shows the #id of that button just like in the error.
With that said, how do I resolve the problem without creating a new firefox profile?
The 'widget' module has been deprecated due to a number of performance and usability issues, and has been removed from the SDK as of Firefox 40. Please use the 'sdk/ui/button/action' or 'sdk/ui/button/toggle' module
https://developer.mozilla.org/Add-ons/SDK/High-Level_APIs/ui
https://developer.mozilla.org/Add-ons/SDK/Low-Level_APIs/ui_button_action
https://developer.mozilla.org/Add-ons/SDK/Low-Level_APIs/ui_button_toggle
Something was "jammed" in the profile.
I knew this after I removed all code relating to customizableUI, then uninstalling the addon and then using "Restore Defaults" in the customization panel, restarting Firefox and reinstalling the addon, but the problem persisted.
So instead of using this with my existing profile:
jpm post --post-url http://localhost:8888/
I used this to run it on a fresh clean one:
jpm run --binary "C:\Program Files (x86)\Firefox Developer Edition\firefox.exe"
(I was using post instead of run because I run multiple instances of Firefox and did not want run to cause them to exit; but adding --binary and the path to Firefox dev did the trick )
In a fresh profile everything works just fine, even with the code utilizing CustomizableUI. There are no errors relating to that in the console.
Just have installed new firefox developer edition and one of the feautures is checking the website in another browsers remotely. So I opened my website and typed in firefox's new command line "ios" to test it on safary, but got error TypeError: response is null .
Did somebody already tried? Any ideas how to make this work? Thanks
There is a list of connection issues here and you can submit a new issue here if it is not listed.
I am using the Valence addon (the thing that makes connecting to ios and chrome possible) everyday without any problem, but I always go via the WebIDE. I never tried using the ios command. I'm not sure how much this command was tested recently, it might just be broken.
You should try using the WebIDE (which you can find in the Tools/Web Developer menu).
Once opened, you can select "Safari on iOS" from the runtime menu.
More information about this can be found on MDN.
I've filed the following issue on the Github repo. Feel free to comment on the issue to add more info if needed.
I've just released 0.2.3 of the Valence (Developer Tools Adapter) add-on. Once you get this update, the ios command should work as expected. You can check your current version on the about:addons page.
If you continue to have trouble, please file a new issue.
When I open WebMatrix it works without problem and shows the start page.
When I click 'My sites' and choose my site or choose My site by click 'Open'=> My site or create new site (and choose the site type: Empty, App Gallery or Template Gallery) WebMatrix crashes. Note: It crashes when it needs to show the site pages.
I tried to re-install WebMatrix but that didn't help. I also tried to change the Workspace(by clicking 'Options' on the start page).
When it crashes, I get the message 'Windows is looking for a solution to the problem.' (My computer isn't in English so that might not exactly be the words) and then I am asked if I want to close/debug the program. I click 'Debug' and choose Visual Studio. I don't know how to debug a program, but I tried and it says to me that:
System.NullReferenceException was unhandled
Message: An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in Microsoft.WebMatrix.Core.dll
Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object [-translated].
I have searched on the internet and here and I didn't find any solution to my problem.
Actual Answer
This bug is in the market for a time now. I have seen similar issue on another forum too, where the user was facing the same issue and same thing he tried but all in vain.
I think you need to wait for the next Update for your System, or try removing each and every component that WebMatrix installed, that means all the .NET Frameworks (4th version), Sql Dependencies Sql Server Ce, and all other files that were shipped along with WebMatrix to your computer. Remove them, and start the installing process once again freshly.
If nothing does the job, please uninstall WebMatrix 3 and install WebMatrix 2: Click here for link. I know it is awkward to go back a version, but you'll have to. Secondly you can mention this bug on their support/suggestion page. They would fix it.
http://webmatrix.uservoice.com/
I hope that would help you. And you'd be back in developing the apps :-)
Just for information
Secondly, do you understand what is meant by debug? Debugging is a method or process to remove the bugs from a software or an application etc. When you chose Visual Studio, it provided you or not provided you with the WebMatrix source code, I am not sure I never tried it. And you tried out debugging it. The exception is gave you, was a message saying that the parameter you're passing onto the next stage is a null. Which means it doesn't even exist and thus the value or the method cannot be executed and it breaks.
We've released a new application but we're getting reports that when users try and download it in Internet Explorer, they get a red error message after they choose to save or run the EXE file:
What we want to know is, how can we stop this red version of the banner appearing for IE users? Will code signing persuade IE to instead show the yellow banner which gives the users the option to run or save the file? And if so, is it possible to get a temporarily/trial certificate (not self signed) to test this with? Self signing doesn't seem to help.
Edit:
I've also noticed Google Chrome has a similar banner and effectively the same problem that the users will be scared off installing the file.
This behavior is entirely controlled by SmartScreen Filter from IE. You cannot control it when creating the setup packages, not matter the tool you use to author them. Here are more details:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/SmartScreen-Filter-frequently-asked-questions-IE9
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/When-to-trust-a-software-publisher-IE9
What I can recommend is to use the same name of the setup file for future versions, i.e. do not change it for every version and digitally sign the package using a code signing certificate. When more users will download the package the browsers will gather statistics and start trusting your file.
