I know this is something I'm probably doing wrong, so please don't incinerate me for the thread title. I'm trying to put together a small personal website using HTML 5/CSS3. I've checked with the w3c validator and the site and CSS file fully conform according to the validator (However the validator has a warning attached that it might ...
I have written an intranet application from which you can directly connect to a virtual machine by clicking on a RDP-button. The click calls a .bat file, which opens the connection. With IE, this is no problem, as you can choose to directly execute the batch file. But with Firefox, I can only download the script, and have to start it ma...

Our website has been using IIS6 for a long time. We test on IE8, Firefox, and Chrome. All browsers worked fine. We recently did an upgrade to IIS7, and Chrome and IE8 continue to work normally, but Firefox appears to be unable to get the ASP session cookie. As a result, when our code checks the Session[] object, we see nothing, we th...

I want to write a Firefox add-on for advanced history tracking and bookmarking which will send URLs the browser meets during usage (and all the metadata available about the context) to a web service which will keep track of them storing in an SQL database for further access and analysis. I'd like to divide URLs tracked into 5 groups: tho...
I have a javascript slide show that creates the next slide dynamically and then moves it into view. Since the images are actually sprites, the src is transparent.png and the actual image is mapped via background:url(.. in css. Every time (well, most of the time) the script creates a new Element, Firefox makes an http request for transpa...
I'm trying to set the "onclick" attribute of a link generated with jQuery. While other attributes work without problem (eg. href, but also other custom attrs), setting "onclick" seems to only work in FireFox. On other browsers the attribute just gets ignored. Any hint? Is this behaviour correct? And why? <html><head> <script type="tex...
I'm using the following for a long-polling request... $.getJSON(url, function(data) { ... }); The request won't finish until either 30 seconds have passed or there is information to send (long-polling). The problem is that Firefox is the only browser that will display "Waiting for URL..." at the bottom. Is there any way to prev...
I need to develop an add-in (as a bar) that will monitor user browsing data using Mozilla Firefox (priority) and other web browsers (Chrome, Safari, etc.). I have already done this using IE, but I need the same for Mozilla Firefox too. Any idea, if this is possible, and how to integrate Firefox add-in with the ability to interact with m...
I am attempting to implement the Google Translate Widget where you include a piece of javascript code into your page and it gives you a language dropdown.

I am running into an issue when troubleshooting a web page that works in IE but not Firefox. The Firefox debugger is stopping on the following line: btnhelp = new button("btnhelp", framemenu.document.imghelp, "../images/gui/help_o.jpg", "../images/gui/help.jpg", "", "hand", true); I see that button is defined in another class with som...
I'm trying to implement text-overflow: ellipsis; support in the FireFox version of my web site. I've found the XUL hack on the web and have applied it to the stylesheet, but I find that applying the hack removes all other styling from the element. In other words, I can either have the ellipsis, or I can have the background image, gradi...
My university has quite a lot files (like past papers etc) which I need to be on the uni network to access them. I ssh, using port forwarding, into the network and set my browser (Firefox) to go through that port. I know it would be quite easy to write something in most languages that would enter the command into a terminal, but which la...

I have an animated GIF that loops three times. I have noticed in Firefox and Chrome (haven't checked others) that I can view the GIF once and then if I reload the page, the cached GIF is not animated at all. Is there a solution to this?
