A site I'm building uses localstorage with a fallback to php sessions.
How can I test my website in a localstorage free environment without downgrading Firefox, Internet Explorer 8, Chrome or Safari? So I'm probably looking for an add-on for one of these browsers?
I've tried ie7 mode in ie8 - no joy :(
For Firefox:
Dom.storage.enabled
The Web Applications 1.0 specification defines a mechanism allowing web pages to store information with a web browser (similar to cookies) called “client-side session and persistent storage.” Although use of session storage is subject to a user’s cookie preferences, this preference allows it to be disabled entirely.
For Chrome:
Chrome/Chromium - disable HTML5 LocalStorage and Databases for all webpages /or ask user
While some resources on the Internet claims that Chrome's cookie blocking does not also block LocalStorage, I just ran a quick test and discovered that it does actually block LocalStorage, (at least in Chrome 12, the current beta version).
For IE:
Internet Explorer
Select “Tools” -> “Internet Options” -> “General” -> check “Delete browsing history on exit”, click on “Delete”, check “Cookies”, click on “Delete” once more and restart your browser afterwards.
Not really sure about Safari but I imagine it is similar to Chrome.
Start Chrome with option/command-line switch:
--disable-local-storage
In Firefox set dom.storage.enabled to false in about:config.
Most simple way i've found for Chrome is to disable both Cookies and Local storage. Here's how:
Settings -> "Show advanced settings..." -> "Content settings..." -> "Block sites from setting any data"
If you want to disable localstorage in IE. Use this
Select “Internet Options” -> “Advanced” Tab -> Go to
“Security” -> uncheck “Enable DOM-Storage”

I have 2 applications one is asp .net application with MSAL.Net and other one is power apps application, I used iframe for silent login and it was working everywhere before chrome and firefox upgrade.

From Chrome
From Firefox
Can you please help me to resolve this issue by code instead manually do browser setting
Thanks,
Sandy
Chrome 83+ in incognito mode, has an option by default
(x) Block third-party cookies in Incognito. Disable this.
As a proper fix, use a custom domain name so that the browser no longer considers it a third party:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-b2c/custom-domain?pivots=b2c-custom-policy
In private mode, please enable cookies in your browser in order for msal to work properly. This information has to be added to your cookie policy as well to make the users of your application aware.
Is there a firefox equivalent of chrome's inspector "Resources" tab? I am trying to delete something from localStorage for a web site in firefox but it won't go, and the standard settings->clear cahce don't affect it at all.
Check for this:
Enter about:cache in browser address and see "Offline cache device" section.
Firefox storage inspector lets you see local storage.
This seems to be the closest equivalent to the chrome resource tab.
I had to explicitly enable the tab in the Firefox Develop Tools Options to get it to show.

I am fairly new to writing code, but I played around with some chrome apps which use WebSQL for DB. I decided to learn IndexedDB, but needed something more visual, to help me out. WebSQL database entries can be easily seen in in resources tab in "debugger", but indexedDB database is not shown there.
Chrome is v17, OS Ubuntu 11.10
Is there a workaround for this( plugin or anything else) ?
If you use Chromium or the dev channel of Chrome you can enable an experimental Dev Tools feature to surface IndexedDB in the Resources panel.

In chrome, click on developer tools or use ctr+shift+I
Click on the application menu
Right click on IndexDB
Click Refresh IndexDB
Then you will see your database content.
The accepted answer is 10 years old, mentioning experimental DevTools. So, I decided to rewrite answer.
In Chrome, press F12 or click application menu > More Tools > Developer Tools to open Chrome Developer tools.
Go to Application tab.
On the menu left, expand IndexedDb under Storage section and you will see your IndexedDb content.
we have a website with links to a sharepoint. These features in sharepoint only work in IE so i dont want to open up firefox or chrome if that is the default browser. Is there anyway to have a
My Link
force open up in internet explorer ?
You can use javascript to inject the link in your HTML code if the client is IE, and maybe show a warning message if the browser isn't IE. Anyway you can't tell any browser to open a link using another browser.
No, definitely not.
For Firefox users, the best thing that comes to mind is to have them install the IE tab. It allows the opening of pages inside Firefox but using the IE engine - but also requires user action.
If this is run in a windows environment, you could use a PHP script to open Internet Explorer through PHPs support for COM objects.
If you are interested I can provide the script to do this.
I am looking for a way to launch a file located on our local file network for use via our local intranet using Firefox or Chrome.
The link works well in IE:
View Report
but in Firefox it shows:
View Report
is there a way to get the link to render properly?...Just a simple click from a href tag.
For Chrome, a new extension was just posted today! It's called LocalLinks and it replicates the functionality of the locallink add-on for Firefox! You'll find it on the Google Extensions page, or you can get to it directly here:
https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/jllpkdkcdjndhggodimiphkghogcpida
Enjoy!
This is not enabled in firefox for security reasons (remember that most computers have files and applications of a sensitive nature located in similar locations, like C:\System\Windows)
you can try adding this to the user.js file for any user that needs to be able to access these links:
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "localfilelinks");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites", "file:///[[PUT SERVER NAME HERE]]";);
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess");
Just remember that this is a security risk.
Firefox seems to want file://///Start/Of/My/Network/file.xlsx
Chrome and IE handles that too.
file://Start/Of/My/Network/file.xlsx appears to work in Chrome as well, sometimes firefox hics up on it..
There is the LocalLink add-on for firefox. It uses a context menu though...
Use IE tab (available for Chrome and Firefox) and set that to handle all links of the form file:/// by adding an autourls entry like this:
r/file:///.*
Technically this isn't opening the file in the original browser, but it gives you all the windows explorer integration you'd expect from whatever IE version you've got installed when dealing with local file links. I would advise against doing this except in cases when the browser isn't being used to access the web - e.g. for viewing internal wiki or intranet pages, due to the obvious security risk.
