We are using a Clickonce application with a registered file association. We are downloading a *.foo file and it should open the ClickOnce program when clicking the file. It will open the program correctly when going to the folder in Windows and double clicking the file. However, when downloading the file in Chrome or Firefox, we are unable to start the program by clicking the downloaded file in the browser view - it looks like its loading for a second but then nothing happens; no error or message. We can only do it by opening the file location and clicking it there. Also, it seems to be working in Internet Explorer, and it will open the program by clicking it on the list of downloads within the browser.
The computer is running Windows Vista, and has Norton 360 installed. We tried disabling Download Intelligence, and all web-related settings on that, but it didn't seem to work.
Any ideas why Chrome and Firefox would be blocking this file from being opened, while Internet Explorer works fine?
For Chrome, we use this extension: Chrome Web Store: Windows Remix ClickOnce Handler.
For Firefox, The ClickOnce team is gauging interest for a new plugin. Please reply to the thread over at github:Microsoft/dotnet/issues/185 to voice your interest.

I use Google Chrome Dev (109.0.5410.0) on Windows 10.
After recent update I noticed that I am unable to open any .html file from my local disc. Let me describe the scenario.
For example:
In my desktop there is a file as C:\Users\soumyadipd\Desktop\test.html
Now if I drag-and-drop the file to chrome then it opens using the URL file:///C:/Users/soumyadipd/Desktop/test.html in address bar.
But if I double click the file to open then the file failed to open because the URL is http://%22c/Users/soumyadipd/Desktop/test.html%22"
Anyone faced this problem ? Or is it a Chrome bug? Or any other solution is there?
I just upgraded to Google Chrome v73.0.3683.103 and I am now unable to view FTP sites in Chrome. Instead of Chrome loading the FTP directory listing in the browser, it downloads a file named download which contains a directory listing.
How do I get the ability to view the FTP directories directly in Chrome back?
I have tried going into Internet Options > Advanced and clicking on the "Enable FTP folder view (outside of Internet Explorer)" but, that didn't seem to do the trick.
In-browser FTP was deprecated back in v72. I hadn't updated Chrome in a few releases. I have rolled back to v71 until I find a better workflow substitute

The Network tab in the Google Chrome Developer Tools window shows almost all http requests made, but does not seem to capture anything when the http request results in a file being downloaded.
How can I capture download requests in Google Chrome?
I am sure that your file download is happening by opening a new window. Network tab of developer tools only captures the request of current tab.
For example, following link will download the file but it will not appear in the network tab.
Click Here to Download file
Similar type of things can be done using javascript using (window.open, dynamic hyperlink/iframe), which will not appear in the network tab.
Various Javascript approach you can check here
I have observed similar behaviour in my past.
You cane check the chrome://net-internals in older version of chrome and chrome://net-export/ in the newer version of chrome to monitor any type of request being made by any instance/tab of chrome.
Note: You can check the internal events of chrome by typing chrome://net-export/ in the url box of chrome.
I have faced similar issue, and here's how I solved it.
Issue:
Debug an anchor link that download file upon clicking it.
Debugging Process:
Steps
Go to chrome://settings/content/automaticDownloads?search=download and disable auto download
Open chrome dev tools, Settings -> Global -> Auto-open DevTools for popup
Open chrome dev tools, Settings -> Console -> Preserve log upon navigation
I hope that helps.
This works without changing any settings of Chrome for a single download-request. It however does not automatically display all download-requests triggered in a different tab or window.
Trigger the download in the GUI.
Open Chrome's download history (chrome://downloads/).
Right-click your download and Copy link address.
Open DevTools, paste the link into the address bar of the corresopnding Chrome tab and execute it.
The download-request shows in the DevTools.
You can use Fiddler for a more grainy look into your network traffic:

What do you mean by capture?
If you meant that nothing showed up in preview tab or in response tab, it's because the response is the actual file being downloaded.
I've recently tried downloading Oracle JDK 11 with dev-tools open in network tab and here is what I got:
I have no particular configuration in this version of Chrome (Versione 71.0.3578.98 (Build ufficiale) (a 64 bit))
As #jlvaquero said, if you're trying to get as much details as possibile, try WireShark on your own local pc.
I can see it in my case by downloading a document from google drive and limit download speed to 3G.
First step : Open with f12 the programmer toolbar.
Step Two : Go to the networking tab and locate the video in question. To help filter by clicking on media.
Step Three : If the video has no protection you can right click, click open on a new tab and download with crtl + s. If this does not work is because the video has parameters to prevent it from doing so. In that case right click again, go to the COPY session and then click copy as cURL.
Step Four : Go to your linux terminal (If you use windows turn around), if you don't have curl installed type sudo apt install curl and then paste the copied CURL command from the developer bar.
Step 5 : Before executing the command you need to add at the end of it --output video.mp4 --insecure as it is a binary. The insecure parameter is if you have problem with certificate. Wait for the download to complete and be happy!

Google Chrome has been updated to support downloads in the Network Tab
This question was asked in February of 2018, and at the time Google Chrome did not support downloads in the Network tab.
I have verified this by downloading the 64.0.3282.140 build of Google Chrome.
And then attempted to download Spotify as an example and found no event appear in the network tab.
Any Google Chrome version released in 2019 or later will capture all download requests in the Network tab.
I'm trying to add the Rapid Interface Builder extension to chrome using the rib.crx file I downloaded from https://01.org/rapid-interface-builder/downloads/2012/rib-preview-1-chrome-extension
Unfortunately, every time I open the crx file with chrome I get the following error:
Apps, Extensions and scripts cannot be added from this website.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Instead of opening the file, you have to: extract it (crx are zip files), then visit chrome://extensions, enable developer mode, and load unpacked extension.
The reason for this is: lots of people try to abuse chrome apps/extensions to install nasty applications to your browser. So Chrome tries to make it impossible to automatically side-load these apps without you making sure that is really what you want to do.
So.. typical caveats of installing software apply when using this approach.
You can now also just drag-and-drop the .crx file onto the chrome://extensions page and it will install, too.
Edit 2019-01-10: Make sure to enable Developer mode for extensions. If this was not enabled, refresh the chrome://extensions page after enabling it.
Edit 2018-08-24: This works on Windows, too.
Edit:
This doesn't work on Windows. Verified on OSX and ChromeOS. From what I've read, this will work on Linux, too.~
(I initially experienced the same problem you described.*)
This solution worked for me in Windows 10 (build th1511) x64:
Open Chrome as you normally would.
Go to the "Extensions" page (chrome://extensions; or click Menu button at top right corner → From 'More tools' drop down menu select 'Extensions').
Drag and drop the .crx file onto the extensions page in Chrome -onto the list of extensions.
You should see a dialog stating "Drop here to install". This must be present. (If you do NOT see this, reposition your mouse - it may be too far to the side of the page.)
It should load successfully and you should see the extension in the list immediately afterward.
*I received the same error you described when attempting to load the .crx file (packed extension) by right-clicking/double-clicking it and selecting "Open With" "Chrome", and by dragging/dropping the file onto a regular webpage in Chrome.
In the Extensions page, just enable Developer mode. From there you can drag and drop any .crx file there and installation prompt will follow suit.
Open Chrome with this parameter --enable-easy-off-store-extension-install, then go to extensions and enable Developer mode. Now you can install .crx files without any problem.
go on extension, and your first step is on developer mode, 2 step update extensions, and last drop IDM extension file on google chrome.
I found that the chrome webbrowser recently disabled the ability to deploy extensions that are not from the chrome webstore. I tried opening my extension.crx directly intro chrome and it wont work anymore, it just download the file.
I know I could use the "load unpacked extension", but I need to do it in about 50 computers, so it's not a very practical way.
Does anyone knows any other ways to deploy an extension that is not in the webstore?
Maybe "loading an unpacked extension" programmatically from an .exe or something like that.
Have you tried dragging it over to Chrome, either from the download bar or the file browser on your operating system? I seem to remember this has been an issue earlier...
There is more information about how to complete this on the Chrome Dev site:
https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/crx
It looks as if you need to create a zip file, then add additional headers to the beginning of that file, then change the file extension from ".zip" to ".crx"
If serving this file from a web-server, you should use the header "application/x-chrome-extension" to make the Chrome browser understand this is an installable theme/app/extension.
