I am working on a GWT project right now. I have Firefox 30, and Chrome 35, but cannot seem to find the plugin for Dev mode on both these browsers. Do I need to download an older version of these browsers, or am I missing something?
See this answer for details. Essentially, the developer plugin is not supported on newer browsers, you must use "SuperDevMode" instead.

We're trying to display a website via JxBrowser but this webpage says that:
one of the following plugin must be used : Silverlight, Html5, MPEG-DASH in MSE
The webPage in question is generated by MediaSite
I've read that Silverlight is not supported, but what about the others? and how to load them through JxBrowser ???
Some help would be great, even just hints to know where to search..!
Thanks.
I've read that Silverlight is not supported
Yes, Silverlight is not supported since JxBrowser 6.4 due to the fact that Chromium engine dropped the NPAPI plugin support at all.
but what about the others? and how to load them through JxBrowser ???
As far as I know HTML5 is not a Chrome plugin and is WEB standart is supported by JxBrowser by default including HTML5 audio/video.
JxBrowser supports regular Google Chrome plugins, which were installed in your system through installer. If you properly install such Chrome plugin in your system and Google Chrome recognizes this plugin, then it is expected that JxBrowser recognizes and uses this plugin as well when it is necessary.
Please note, than displaying multimedia content in JxBrowser might be different comparing to Google Chrome, due to the fact that Chromium doesn't have some codecs enabled by default. Please take a look at the article for details.
Whats are the Protractor Supported versions of Firefox, IE and Safari?
My test does not run in Firefox latest version.
#High level Protractor is just a wrapper around webdriver. It depends on browser versions you want to test en the webdrivers for that browsers you have downloaded with webdriver-manager as said by #alecxe.
Currently there are some known issues with the webdrivers that can also be found on the Protractor GitHub:
Firefox latest has problems with Angular2 apps, see this link, as far as I can remember Protractor worked till Firefox 47, it broke due to problems in de webdriver of Firefox from version 48-50 and it started working from 51, but not for Angular 2.
IE11 works
Microsoft Edge, see this, as far as I can see still not stable on version 14.
Safari 9, works, but it's with the old Safari Driver, it misses a lot of user interactions like Tabs, mouse events and so on.
Safari 10, I've heard that it works with the latest version of the Safari webdriver, don't heave experience with it, see also here for a guy who had problems with it but got it working.
Chrome, should work with all latest versions if you always keep you ChromeDriver up-to-date.
Hope this gives you a good idea!
Protractor depends on the webdriver-manager package which now, since version 12.0.0, installs the latest versions of selenium-webdriver, iedriver, chromedriver and geckodriver.
Then, to determine which browser versions are supported, you need to see what driver version was installed by the webdriver-manager:
$ webdriver-manager status
and then look up what browser versions your installed driver version supports.
My test does not run in Firefox latest version.
In your case, you might be experiencing this problem:
Webdriver-manager will now by default grab the latest versions of all
binaries (standalone, chromedriver, iedriver, gecko driver). Use the
--versions.(binary name) to pin to a specific version. Selenium standalone 3.0.1 has a bug which prevents it from working with any
version of FireFox. We have tested version 3.0.0-beta4 and know that
it works with FireFox 51, and we expect that the 3.0.2 release will
also work.
Which currently means that you should be able to fix it by running:
$ webdriver-manager update
Or, you may also try the directConnect mode.
I was developing GWT application but as I came to know google doesn't support GWT developer plugin for Google Chrome now, provide me any other method to test my application of GWT
SuperDevMode is the new way of debugging GWT applications.
If you want to use the older GWT developer plugin then you can if you use an older browser. The latest version of Firefox that can be used is version 24. IE 11 works fine too.
GWT Development Mode will no longer be available for Chrome sometime
in 2014, so we improved alternate ways of debugging. There are
improvements to Super Dev Mode, asserts, console logging, and error
messages.Read Note

I made an addon to Dektop Firefox using addon-sdk. now i want to launch it into firefox mobile(fennec) in android. I am using android 4.0.3 emulator. I have installed mobile firefox browsers(almost all versions) in it. im trying to install my addon to mobile firefox using addon-sdk. in this step i am getting different types of errors.
1.some addons installed with disable mode, but not working enable/disable option.
2.for some addons, i am getting "addon installed,restart required" option, but after restart, addon not visible in addon manager
please, provide atlesat one working way, to develop and install firefox addons(any simple) in fennec(any version) in andoid (any emulator/any mobile).
Thanks,
You are asking the wrong question. Any version of Firefox Mobile supports extensions, no problems here. However, its user interface is very different from the desktop Firefox which means that extensions built for the desktop Firefox usually won't work without adjustments. So the correct question would be:
Which version of the Add-on SDK supports Firefox Mobile?
You need Add-on SDK 1.5 or higher. When running cfx you will have to use --force-mobile command line flag to make sure that your extension is marked as compatible with Firefox Mobile. There will still be limitations however, most SDK modules currently don't support Firefox Mobile. Add-on SDK 1.8 lists the following modules as supporting Firefox Mobile:
page-mod
page-worker
request
self
simple-storage
timers
Wladimir is correct, and I would only add that we are working on expanding module support on native Fennec. If you want to play with some additional Fennec features in an SDK-based add-on right now, you can get access to the NativeWindow and BrowserApp objects Fennec implements by using this code in a module:
let utils = require('api-utils/window-utils');
exports = {
BrowserApp: utils.activeBrowserWindow.BrowserApp,
NativeWindow: utils.activeBrowserWindow.NativeWindow
};
The documentation for these objects is on MDN:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Extensions/Mobile/API/BrowserApp
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.NativeWindow
How can I find which version of Firefox does the Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin support ? I can't find it anywhere.
As Firefox now has it small development cycle, it could be nice if Google point us to a page where we could find the supported browsers versions.
For information :
I'm using Firefox version 5.0 with no problem.
I saw on Google Groups people saying that the version 8.0 works too.
Actual version of Firefox is 11.
EDIT 1 :
Last supported version can be found here http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/source/browse/trunk/plugins/xpcom/prebuilt/update.rdf as suggested by Thomas.
<em:minVersion>3.0</em:minVersion>
<em:maxVersion>16.0.*</em:maxVersion>
EDIT 2 :
The file pointed in EDIT 1 do not seems to exist anymore, so the best shot it looking at the commits logs, here : https://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/source/list
ex:
r11637 update for Firefox 23 / Mac
r11636 update for Firefox 23 on Windows
The DevMode plugin supports all versions of Firefox from 3.0 to 11.0: http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/source/browse/trunk/plugins/xpcom/prebuilt/update.rdf
There's always some lag after a Firefox version is released, but a preliminary version of the DevMode plugin is generally available "unofficially" from the GWT Google Groups a few days (or even hours) after the Firefox release, pending code review before it graduates to the SVN repository. The problem is that the plugin has to be recompiled against the updated Gecko SDK, which is released a few hours or days after Firefox.
…and then the http://gwt.google.com/missing-plugin/ also lags a few days/hours behind (it hasn't yet been updated for Firefox 11 at the time I write), but the plugin for Firefox 11 can be downloaded from the SVN repository.
Mozilla is hiding their ftp server with "old" releases pretty good.
Here is the URL: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/11.0/
