'ClickOnce application working fine in IE and not in other browsers
ClickOnce application working fine in IE and not in other browsers as it's own they depends on some plug-in's. Can anybody give me suggestion or solution that it work in all browsers with out any plug-in's.

This is from a question on another forum which describes your problem
What's happening is that the .application file used for ClickOnce contains a relative path to the manifest for the application. Internet Explorer apparently launches the ClickOnce engine passing it the original url, so the relative path works. Both Firefox and Opera (didn't test other browsers yet) download the .application file to some temp directory, then launch clickonce. Since the manifest isn't in the temp directory, ClickOnce fails. https://channel9.msdn.com/Forums/Coffeehouse/134875-ClickOnce-and-alternative-browsers
Scott Hanselman also has an interesting Blogpost about this topic (he couldnt manage to get click once to work with firefox)

It seems like this is a bug (it has been reportet as a bug)

I guess you mean that the .vsto or .application extensions don't work on other browsers than IE. Well, that is right since those browsers don't support it.
You should use the installer exe that comes with publishing a ClickOnce project. That will work on any browser.

Today, it feels as though other browsers are able to "open" the .application files, they seem to run after. Also, the 'installer exe' is usually named setup.exe, which will install dependencies and the application.
