Gramps 5.2.4 on Windows 10 and in Firefox 137.0.1 Today, the fix for the known issue described here: > **[Addon:D3 Ancestral and Descendant Charts - Gramps](https://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Addon:D3_Ancestral_and_Descendant_Charts#Issues)** no longer works for Firefox. I can’t say when it stopped working but it was OK as recent as Dec 2024 when I made this post: [https://gramps.discourse.group/t/descendant-indented-tree/6657/3](https://gramps.discourse.group/t/descendant-indented-tree/6657/3) Any suggestions? ---

This is a security issue. You need to set security.fileuri.strict\_origin\_policy to False as indicated in the page you cited earlier ---

You didn’t read my reply, that fix no longer works on my set up. It did work back in Dec 2024, but not today, even though the relevant ‘securtity… …policy’ is still set to false. ---

Local. I also uploaded the output to a small bit of webspace I have and tried it from there. It didn’t work there either. I also just discovered that this report fails completely when used with Gramps 6.0.0 (Win 11): ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/gramps/original/2X/0/01ad668cc1a2819bf3f7c0268516743a241d8b46.png) ---

Gramps v6.0.1 on Win 10 and Win 11 I’ve now discovered that the Descendant Indented Tree report fails on Win 10 as well as reported previously ([Descendant indented tree: local workaround no longer working - #5 by stuck](https://gramps.discourse.group/t/descendant-indented-tree-local-workaround-no-longer-working/7447/5)) on Win 11.

I’ve had an email from the bug tracker saying this has been fixed now. As mere mortal user with no coding ability or real grasp of how open-source development works, can I ask how long it will be before the fix is available in the Windows AIO package? Thanks ---

The problems was in an addon. So the fix is available more immediately. It looks like @GaryGriffin has already pushed the fix out to the D3Charts addon. Since he is also the volunteer curator of the addons repository, the [Addon Manager](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Gramps_Glossary#addon) should already list an Report update you can install. Please update and let us know if the update fixes the ussue on you system. ---

Ah, yes, I understand now. Yes, the update means the report no longer crashes but **it still doesn’t work** because the problem as given in my original post still persists. Namely that the local workaround for “Charts appearing without content - related to a security vulnerability update to Browsers. (i.e. local HTML files ought not to be authorized to open files from different sub-directories)” _no longer works in Firefox_. Nor can I get the report to work using Edge. NB my mention of using Edge should make it clear that I’m using Gramps on Windows (both 10 and 11). ---

The bug report (Failed Loading Plugin) [0013785: [Addon D3Charts] Descendant indented tree fails in Gramps v6 [SyntaxError: invalid syntax] - Gramps - Bugtracker – Free Genealogy Software](https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=13785) was about the report failing due to typo. This typo was fixed. I ran on gramps 6.0 and used Mac Safari and the reports displayed correctly. This does not address the Issues listed in the Addon wiki for Firefox and Chrome. ---

Is there any point in me submitting a new bug report about this failure on Firefox? ---

I just loaded Firefox 137.0.2 on my Mac and followed the instructions in the wiki page, going to about:config and setting `security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy` to `False`. I then opened the Ancestral Fan Chart and it had the expected content. I then tested the other two reports (Ancestral Collapse and Descendant Indented Tree) and they also had content. So everything worked fine with the latest Firefox on a Mac (once the browser config was set as described in the Addon wiki page). ---
