Launch Browser option not working

[Jim Solderitsch]

Just installed the latest ZAP 2.6 and updated the plugins.

Running on Mac OS X 10.12.6

I saw Simon's video on the browser launch feature and my installed browsers appear as selectable.

Clicking one of them and then hitting the launch browser button does nothing.

If I select JxBrowser, an empty window appears with a green plus sign at the top. Clicking it does nothing as well.

Maybe a noobie lack of setup knowledge.

I do have an older ZAP version installed (2.5.0) as well that I did not uninstall first.

Could some preferences files/settings be getting in the way?

Hi.

Would you mind checking the log file (zap.log in home directory [1])
when that happens?

> Could some preferences files/settings be getting in the way?

In theory it should not cause any issues, but better to use a different
home directory for the older version (i.e. with -dir command line arg [2]).

I see errors in the log.

I am running by double clicking the Zap icon in my Mac's application folder. Should I be using the command line instead?

That's just needed if you want to use the two ZAP versions at the same
time (to avoid mixing configs/add-ons but they should still work fine).

Best regards.

[thc...@gmail.com]

Thanks for the details!

What version of Firefox are you using?

JxBrowser seems to be failing to extract its files, do you know if
ZAP/Java has write permissions to the mentioned dirs?

Best regards.

[Jim Solderitsch]

I downloaded the linux version of ZAP and running the script zap.sh launches ZAP 2.6 and from that application GUI using my own installed Java, I can invoke JXBrowser and my installed version of Firefox.

java -version shows 

java version "1.8.0_152"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_152-b16)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.152-b16, mixed mode)

But there is an annoying GUI glitch in the ZAP sites tree view when clicking an item: the clicked item becomes invisible. If use the arrow keys to move between items, the item left after the key click becomes visible again and the new item becomes invisible.

Using the latest version of Firefox.

[thc...@gmail.com]

Thanks again :)

Will update the issues with the latest information you provided.

(For the GUI glitch you need to use one of the weeklies.)

Best regards.
