How do I debug Silverlight not working in Firefox/chrome/Safari? - google-chrome

I have a problem where a Silverlight system I have developed is working perfectly in Internet Explorer but not at all in Chrome or Firefox
I have no idea where to start to try to figure out what the problem is?
Chrome just says Cannot load Silverlight plugin which is obviously useless from a debugging point of view
Firefox just displays the container page
I have used firebug and interestingly Firefox makes no attempt to download the xap files?
This is a major issue and any pointers would be very helpful!
The application does make use of Prism which may be something to do with it

Blazor PWA working on desktop browsers but not on smartphones

I'm having an issue related to a PWA which was created using Blazor.
This app worked fine until yesterday which starting failing in Google Chrome in mobile devices only.
I'm using Chrome 91.0.4472.88 Android 8.0
The weird thing is that the app is working fine in mobile Opera and also in any browser in desktop computers.
The app is hosted using IIS 10.0
I debugged a bit and I found this error output
This error is only happening in Google Chrome mobile version.
I tried updating to target build net 5.0, maybe this has been solved, but it does not fix the error.
I found some related links to this issue, but no luck
https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/issues/26698
https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/42628
Anyone has an idea how to fix this problem? I'm out of ideas.
This appears to be something with Chrome 91, which has all kinds of significant performance optimizations that, for me, tanked Blazor apps (or at least mine). My app will work on Android Firefox, but I get errors like this, and/or memory errors, since the browser updated to 91. I find it hard to believe that we're the only ones, but I haven't seen any wider concern among Blazor devs.

debugging a website on a mobile device

I have a website that uses (except for other things) AngularJS. This website works perfectly fine on (example):
Google Chrome
IE
Firefox
iOS
Android
However I am having problems with Windows 10 mobile as one of the features is not working correctly (to be more precise it is $interval).
When testing my app on one of the browsers I view website via Web Inspector and go to background code to inspect where exactly the app fails. However I have no idea how to fix the problems that occur on mobile devices - such as Windows 10 Mobile?
How can one debug websites on a mobile device?
Windows 10 Mobile has Edge Browser. Try debugging it in that.
This is might be helpful.

What makes Windows Phone 8 Internet Explorer truncate html?

I'm making a webapp which recently broke on Windows phone 8.
https://marvin-brouwer.github.io/QR-Reader/
I've also tried the app on an Ipod Touch 3rd generation, an iPhone 4s and a Samsum Galaxy. The app works as expected on those devices.
To find out why it doesn't show what I expect I attached to my Nokia Lumia with Visual Studio which revealed the html being cut off.
I tried deminifying my html but it just gets cut off at a different part.
Is there any reason why this might happen? And is there a way to fix this? Or might this be a Windows Phone bug?
You have a html comment before the doctype which causes IE to go into quirks mode.
Also you have a xml comment which should be removed, this is html not xml.

Debugging on iOS safari

I'm making my portfolio website and I'm using pure HTML 5 no .js the about page doesn't work on iPhone and doesn't scroll everything together some of the elements positions are fixed and don't scroll. I don't own an iPhone but is there anyway to simulate the iOS on computer so I can debug the page? And is there such a tool like "inspect element" in chrome on the iOS safari? If not how can I debug and find how the browser is rendering wrong on the phone? Cause I validated my code and it's supposed to work, but its not!
You can simulate iOS using Xcode and Mac OS.
And for the debug purpose there is no inspect element in Simulator. Yes you can take a help of Accessibility Inspector
In the Simulator >> Go to Settings >> General >> Accessibility
Turn on Accessibility Inspector - This will help you to inspect different elements.
Something important to bear in mind is that because of Apple's policies, all browsers must use Safari’s layout engine to render pages, that means there are very few differences in rendering a page between Safari and other browsers on iOS.
There are two methods that you can use to debug a web page running on your iOS device on your using a browser on your Mac or Windows computer:
1. Debug using a Mac
If you have a Mac, you already have tools to live-inspect and debug web pages on your iOS device.
See here: https://developer.apple.com/library/safari/documentation/AppleApplications/Conceptual/Safari_Developer_Guide/Introduction/Introduction.html
2. Debug using Windows
Xcode and MacOS are not the only way to debug websites running in a browser on OSX. There's a few ways:
Telerik
WineRE
I personally use Edge Inspect when I'm forced to use Windows.
Adobe Edge Inspect

bootstrap-wysihtml5 is not displaying on Android device

I've implemented bootstrap-wysihtml5 editor in one of my website. It works fine everywhere on desktop, iPad and on iphone, but doesn't display at all on Android device. I checked using Chrome browser.
Can anyone please let me know whats wrong there.
Update: On checking 'bootstrap-wysihtml5' from its default website http://www.w3masters.nl/bootstrap-wysihtml5/, found its also not working on Android device (checked on chrome and other android browsers).
The development of WysiHTML5 went on to another website. Maybe the newest version will fix your problem.
