Getting rid of browser restart on plugin installation - plugins

I have been working on a browser plugin for windows which involves displaying camera output in browser. Presently I'm working on Windows 7. After plugin installation, I want to start the plugin immediately without restarting the browser. I noticed that as soon as plugin is registered, it started working in Google Chrome Version 24.0.1312 as well as in Internet Explorer 9. But it fails to do so in Mozilla Firefox 18.0.1. Can anyone help me solve this problem of restarting the browser after plugin installation. And will this problem occur in MacOS as well?
Thanks

You need to do a navigator.plugins.refresh(false); in javascript to tell the browser to rescan the plugins.

Error installing Codename One plugin on Eclipse

I started developing in Codename One a few days ago, using IntelliJ, but since it was causing some problems, I decided to try it with Eclipse.
I got a fresh install of Eclipse Proton for Java developers on my Mac Pro running OS Sierra 10.12.6 and I can't install the Codename One plugin.
I can find it in the marketplace, but when I try to install it starts the process but soon stops and pops this message. After I press ok, I can select features to install as seen here. After I press Confirm it does nothing, and presents this. I have already installed other plugins successfully, this is the only one giving me troubles.
I tried accessing that link but it leads to a standard 404 error page on codenameone's website.
I can't seem to find a way around this, as even trying to install the plugin through Eclipse marketplace website leads to this error.
Any help is appreciated :)

Netbeans x Firefox : Could not access the url through the external browser

I've been using Netbeans with Firefox without problems for months.
But yesterday Firefox crashed and i had to reinstall it.
Firefox was sucesfully installed and it's working ok. But now when i try to run any project in Netbeans, i get the infamous "could not access the url through the external browser" error.
How to fix it ? My work is stopped for hours because this bug.
Please help !
Thanks in advance !
goto Netbeans Tools->option->General->Web Browser selection list & then select any one of available web browsers
I could fix this problem by running Netbeans as administrator (on Windows 8.1).
Maybe you must update JAVA PLUGIN
Tools->Options->General->Web Browser selection list & then select any
one of available web browsers.
That's will resolve the issue.

Can't download a GWT Plug In For IE

I am not able to install the GWT Developer plugin for Internet Explorer.
After getting the yellow patch saying:
Development Mode requires the Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin
I click on Download plugin. Instead of redirecting to a download site it shows:
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
What might be the probable cause?
Actually the page is not redirecting to :
"https://dl-ssl.google.com/tag/s/appguid%3D%7B9a5e649a-ec63-4c7d-99bf-75adb345e7e5%7D%26lang%3Den%26appname%3DGWT%2520Developer%2520Plugin%2520for%2520IE%2520%2528x86%2529%26needsadmin%3Dfalse/gwt/plugins/ie/GwtDevPluginSetup.exe"
Is there any alternate way to install that plugin?
Please help!!
I faced the same problem and i think that there is no development mode for IE8. it didn't work when i tried to run it in IE. So i advice you to use Chrome it is the best browser supports GWT dev mode. Why do you need IE anyway ?
read this article about IE http://googlewebtoolkit.blogspot.com/2010/12/support-for-gwt-dev-mode-in-ie-9.html
Even I had the same issue in installing the plugin for IE, what i did was just copy and pasted the missing plugin url in address bar and hit the enter button. And installed it, so finally it worked. The issue was, the browser was unable to redirect to the plugins update site, after clicking on download link.
Hope this might fix your problem.

Cannot install Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin in Google Chrome

I am using Windows XP SP2 and Chrome (version 9.0.597.19) but every time I run gwt in developer mode I see:
"Development Mode requires the Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin..."
No matter how many times I install it.
How can it be that gwt developer mode is not running in google's own chrome in xp sp2?? This is outrageous??!! It is working in FF but is very slow.
Do you have Click-to-activate-plugins enabled in Chrome? I had, and I had to click on the little puzzle piece in the URL-bar and select that all plugins may run on 127.0.0.1.
Google Web Toolkit plugin is for Firefox 3.5.x and 3.6.x and
probably Google Chrome 7. I'm also using Chrome (version 9.0.597.19) which doesn't support GWT plugin
I was having this same problem. Every time I clicked "Download the GWT Developer Plugin
For Chrome" it would start to load and then just stop without anything happening. Eventually I opened the link in a new tab and got a captcha with this message:
"Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot."
Maybe you are having the same problem?

gwt developer tools IE8 plugin install problem on Windows 7

Today I started testing a gwt application on a new notebook with Windows 7. Testing with Firefox went OK, then I started it in IE8. The "Development Mode requires the Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin" comes up, fine, click on Download. A moment (and a download) later, an IE security warning window comes up ("Do you want to run this software?"), click Run. BTW, I started IE as Administrator...
Then a nice progress bar is displayed, with an "Initializing..." the text above, and it stays stuck forever.
Any ideas?
I had same issue, I think the installer isn't registering the plugin dll correctly. You can do this manually in a command prompt via:
regsvr32.exe "C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Local\Google\Google Web
Toolkit\Developer Plugin\IE\oophm.dll"
This is based on a post on the GWT groups.
