Any .mht file opened using IE11, the mode is getting changed to default IE 7(this has been observed using F12-> Developer Tools).
This problem exists with only IE11, I have tried in IE9 and .mht files are working fine.
1. Is this a known issue?
2. why the mode set to IE7(default), when IE11 is used?
Would you please provide any workaround to make sure that its always set IE mode to latest(edge).
Regards,

I'm trying to launch Edge using the EdgeHTML renderer mode, within Selenium, using Visual Studio C#.. I'm using the version 83.0.478.58 (64bit) and the driver 83.0.478.58 (64bit). Installed via nuget.
If I launch the browser using it works fine...
EdgeOptions options = new EdgeOptions();
options.UseChromium = true;
options.AddUserProfilePreference("download.default_directory", #"C:\temp\");
EdgeDriver edgeDriver = new EdgeDriver(options);
By default UseChromium is False, which should launch the browser in the EdgeHTML renderer. If I use the below code it will error out.
EdgeOptions options = new EdgeOptions();
options.AddUserProfilePreference("download.default_directory", #"C:\temp\");
EdgeDriver edgeDriver = new EdgeDriver(options);
The browser will open a new instance, but once the browser is open. The code bugs out and returns the error message,
OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException: 'The new session command returned a value ('Unknown error') that is not a valid JSON object.'
If I just try and simply initialise without the options, I still get the same error.
Anyone got any ideas? Looking around I see documentation and guides all over that launch the browser without UseChromium.
Cheers
Looks like you are trying to set the default download directory for the MS Edge legacy (EdgeHTML) browser using the Selenium code.
I want to inform you that it is possible to set the default download directory for the MS Edge (Chromium) browser as you had already tried that successfully but it is not possible to set the default download directory for the MS Edge legacy (EdgeHTML) browser using the Selenium code.
As a workaround, you can try to set the download directory manually.

I'm trying to upload a file using jQuery 3.3.1 in Safari 12.1.2 and it allows me to browse and select the file that needs to be uploaded. But when I try to upload the selected file. It does nothing. No error message is displayed, at least in the browser console. This is working fine in Safari versions below 12.1.2, Chrome and Firefox. Can some one please let me know a clue to at least start troubleshooting this issue. (I also tried to debug the code but it ended up in jQuery-3.3.1.min.js and terminates.)
Found the change required to fix the issue. Option "forceIframeTransport" In the code snippet that refers to the fileupload function in jdeQuery-File-Upload has been set to "true" in my code. (As per the jQuery-File-Upload doc this value is set to false by default) How ever for a unknown reason file upload fails in Safari 12.1.2 and above when this value is set to true. So simple the fix in my case is setting "forceIframeTransport" to "false" as shown in below code snippet. (please note that it's not required to have cross cite file uploads which is affected by this option in my application)
$('.assetupload').fileupload({
**forceIframeTransport : false**,
add : function(e, data) {
.......
.......
});
This was working properly in iOS12 but does not work in 13.1.2
Other extensions that are not public files work just fine.
I have tried changing the extension to “anyuniqueextension” and that doesn’t work. If I use the same info list code but change the extension to pdfx that will work.
Not sure of what to try next.
I read through a ton of answers to this query of mine but couldn't find anything specific. Hence asking here
Here's the scenario, On a webpage, when I click a download button, it downloads a PDF file correctly, On the browser, I have set the Firefox preferences to save the file rather than open in preview.
However, when I run my selenium/Python script, the download keeps opening in the preview, there are other PDF downloads on the page and they work fine. Upon inspecting both the download buttons, the only difference I see is the one that does not download has a relative URL in its href value.
I am also using the following firefox options settings in my script, but with no help. Please guide me in the right direction. Thanks in advance!
**************************
fp = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
fp.set_preference("browser.download.folderList", 2)
fp.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", False)
fp.set_preference("browser.download.dir", 'Path to Save The file')
fp.set_preference("pdfjs.enabledCache.state", False)
fp.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", "application/pdf")
fp.set_preference("pdfjs.disabled", "true")
# disable Adobe Acrobat PDF preview plugin
fp.set_preference("plugin.scan.plid.all", "false")
fp.set_preference("plugin.scan.Acrobat", "99.0")
self.driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=fp,executable_path="path to my geckodriver")
self.driver.get("url")
I had the same problem - setting to disable pdfjs only worked when clicked manually on about:config page. Turned out that what seems to have solved the issue was (Firefox 60.6.1ESR):
profile.setPreference("pdfjs.disabled", true);
profile.setPreference("pdfjs.enabledCache.state", false); // <= THIS
I want to use the Eclipse plugin of js test driver to execute my tests in IE. I have IE9 installed but want the tests to run in IE8 document mode because this is what the app we are developing is running in.
So is there any way to start the js-test-driver plugin in IE8 document mode when having IE9 installed? Its possible to switch mode in MS Developer Tools but that is not what I'm looking for.
I've tried to load a script that adds meta tags at start up by adding a script like this in the jsTestDriver.conf file:
...
load:
- js/bootstrap-IE8.js
...
and the code in the bootstrap file:
(function(){
var meta = document.createElement('meta');
meta.setAttribute('http-equiv','X-UA-Compatible');
meta.setAttribute('content','IE=8');
var meta2 = document.createElement('meta');
meta2.setAttribute('Content-Type','X-UA-Compatible');
meta2.setAttribute('content','text/html; charset=utf-8');
var tophead = top.document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
var toptitle = tophead.firstChild;
tophead.insertBefore(meta, toptitle);
tophead.insertBefore(meta2, toptitle);
})();
I have tried to find a way to solve this as you describe have not found any way to do this (or JSTestDriver files to modify)
However, this can be done by modifing the registry by setting FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION feature that defines the default emulation mode for Internet Explorer to 8888 (0x22B8).
It is descibed at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee330730%28VS.85%29.aspx#browser_emulation
Note that your browser will use IE8 document mode always.
