Safari downloading older version of Silverlight (Getting SL 4 instead of SL 5) - silverlight-4.0

I have a website using Silverlight 5, when an user from Mac wants to visit the site using Safari (because with FF and Chrome it do not work correctly), Safari shows a message: "You need to install Silverlight please click here", when the user clicks on it, Safari starts to download Silverlight 4. This means that the user have to unistall that version and go manualy to http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/ and download the correct version (Silverlight 5). How can I solve this problem?, because it is happening for all the mac users.

Here is my question formerly I asked. Its closed and down voted. :)

Selenium tests broken by recent update of safari to version 13?

does anybody have a problem of selenium tests failing on new safari version 13.
Ran the same tests on chrome and firefox and it works fine. Also tested it on older version of safari and it works fine.
I didn't manage to pin point exactly where it fails. One case I did notice is that on safari 13 selenium click on <div role='button' aria-haspopup='true'>....</div> invokes no action(in my case opens a popup menu). And test proceeds to the next line of code. note however at this point I am not claiming that this kind of click always fails, it's just where I noticed it in my tests.
If anyone came across this kind of issue on safari 13 please provide your input.
Thanks
Safaridriver maintainer here.
This is a known issue that we believe has already been fixed in Safari Technology Preview Release 91. Please verify whether the issue reproduces using latest STP's safaridriver, and reach out to me on Twitter, #brrian.
There is an issue with SafarDriver or Safari 13. Please vote the bug in WebKit https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202589
I am also facing the same issue with Safari 13.0 and Safari 13.0.1. Till Safari 12.1.2 everything was working as expected but since my browser updated to v13.0 selenium script is broken.
I observed that Selenium clicks on other locator instead of the target (identified) locator. For ex. if you want to click on a button (//button) it clicks on the //div which is the sibling node of that //button in the DOM.
My workaround solution:
As I didn't update MacOS Catalina yet and only Safari 13 was updated; I was able to download the "MacOS Mojave installer". Then, I installed it as an update; resulting it rolled back my Safari version from 13.0 to Safari 12.1.2. Now my script started working again!!

I would urge you to get in contact with Tricentis Support (https://support.tricentis.com/).
I expect they will be able to help you better than this community in that particular case.
I resolved the problem by updating the chrome to latest version. Its working fine now after updating the browser and restarting
Install the Tosca Automation Extension for Chrome. You could navigate to chrome://extensions/ and download and install the extension from her. For the exact name, you can refer to the image below.

Selenium scripts fail after newest Windows update

I have a question regarding Selenium and the current Microsoft updates:
I just installed the newest Microsoft patches on a PC and now the Selenium scripts won't work anymore. I'm using the Selenium IE Driver 2.44.0 in the scripts. Maybe something has changed in the Internet Explorer, I'm not sure. Suddenly the scripts can't find any web elements on the page anymore. An InvalidSelectorException is thrown because the findElements methods can't be executed. The IE driver opens up and it navigates to the given URL, but when it tries to find a web element, the script fails. I also tried it out on a PC which hasn't the newest updates installed yet and the scripts are working fine there, there are no problems at all.
Do you have any ideas what to do or what could be the cause?
Thanks a lot!
Yes as I stated here
If you have taken windows update KB3025390 IE will not work as expected. There is currently no resolution to that yet.
Also, Uninstalling the update KB3025390 should make the WebDriver work correctly with Internet Explorer 11. See this answer

Is the new IE9 a standalone browser

Anyone that has installed the new IE9 know if I can keep IE8 installed? I do a lot of web testing and don't want to update to IE9 if I loose IE8.
best way is to install a Virtual Machine
Per Microsoft:
If you are running Windows Vista or
Windows 7 on your computer, you can
install the Internet Explorer 9 Beta
to replace your existing version of
Internet Explorer. After you install
Internet Explorer 9, you can uninstall
it to restore the previously installed
version of Internet Explorer.
So no, it will overwrite IE8 (at least the Beta will. I suppose this is not guaranteed to be the same for the release version).
I use Virtual PC with images of the browsers I need to test, but also and more lately, IETester, http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage. It allows you to run multiple versions of IE side by side.
If you want to be able to play with the new features of IE9 without installing the entire browser (which will replace IE8) you can install the Platform Preview. The PP is stand-alone, includes the latest features and bug fixes and has been getting updated roughly every 8 weeks. You can get the latest Platform Preview at:
www.ietestdrive.com
FYI: the production IE 9 does not accurately reproduce IE 8. I've got a CSS issue I'm chasing down now because IE 9's IE 8 mode isn't the same as real IE 8.
If you are concerned with testing how your site looks in IE8/7, you can use the Developer Tools (press F12) to switch the Browser modes and Document modes so that IE9 interacts with the web server as a different user agent, and renders the HTML document according to the version rules.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-sg/ie/ff468705(en-us).aspx#_New_Dev_Tools
IE9 beta is released as a Windows update, so after installing it and playing around, you can remove it from Programs and Features -> Installed Updates, which will recover IE8.
hit f12 on ie9, it will pop up the debug console. In the menu there is a browser mode option where you can set the browser to display as ie8 and a bunch of other versions too.
Also, if you're mouse focus is on the console and you hit ctrl+r, it will clear your browser cache... This is a feature that all the other browser debuggers lack.. ability to quickly clear cache.... I'm rambling now.
The best way to see your site on old versions of IE is that:
If you have IE9+, open your current version of InternetExplorer, press F12, click on "Browser Mode" tab, then choose the version you want.
see screenshot here:
Works better than IE-tester, and easier than using virtual machine.
