The combination of the latest StoreFront and Receiver will work around this issue with Google Chrome and a similar issue with Microsoft Edge. Citrix has just released updated versions of the Receiver (Windows Receiver ver. Upgrade to the latest and greatest. Unfortunately, the upgrade is not only on the client side.ICA file to launch the application:Īnnoying, isn’t it. Instead, it will ask to be saved:Īnd you will have to click on the saved. The next thing that will happen is you will not be able to launch an application by just clicking a presented icon. This will also affect NetScaler implementations:
#Citrix plugin chrome install
The plugin is no longer running, so StoreFront will always ask you to install the receiver because it cannot tell if you have it: It is then responsible for launching applications/desktops when we click on the icon. The Receiver Plugin is what checks to see if we already have a client installed and whether it is up to date. This results of this change have already appeared for the Citrix Receiver. Updates of Chrome as of April 2015 remove NPAPI support. “By default” is the operative statement here and I will get back to that. This means that those Chrome plugins we have grown to love and count on will no longer work by default. This affects both Windows and Mac installations. In order to improve security, Google has decided to disable NPAPI plugin support in the Chrome browser.

This is actually an issue with the Chrome browser. This does not mean that Citrix will no longer support the Receiver. While accessing a Citrix StoreFront or Web Interface site in Google Chrome, you may see something like this:

I will walk you through the solution in this week’s post. A recent issue was brought to our attention by a client when a message appeared in the Chrome browser, stating that the Citrix Receiver plugin was not supported.
