window.onunload only fires when a tab is closed in firefox, not the entire browser

UPDATE So after reading both of your answers I realize there is no reliable way to determine when a browser window is closed. Originally I was planning to use this to unlock a record in the database when the page is closed. Basically when the user loads the page the record it's accessing locks and then unlocks when the page is closed....

Select & Copy firefox content to clipboard in C or C++

I found a few questions similar to mine but none of the answers are satisfactory and they are a few years old. So I am hoping that perhaps some progress has been made on that front since then. What I am interested in is the ability to access the content of an active Firefox window and copy it to the clipboard -- using C or C++ code. In...

How was this website made, what's Frontpage 5.0?

A friend of mine had "a friend make a website" for her, but this person is no longer contactable, so she asked me "why it looks different in Firefox and the links don't work". Looking at the source, it seems to have been made with "Frontpage 5.0" but also has a "Microsoft Office" XML namespace. What I find interesting is that it appare...

Pressing Escape under Firefox kills my Ajax requests. I'd like to prevent this.

Dear Stackers, I'm developing a web application which requires long-running Ajax requests. Unfortunately, under Firefox, pressing Escape during a request has the drawback of killing the request and any information it was holding. This is rather annoying, as this can lead to all sorts of nasty complications if this happens at the wrong t...

Why doesn't my image color match background color in FireFox?

On my webpage, I created a div and gave it a background color background-color:#E05206; When I open th...

regex.test() only works every other time

Regex test() is giving me issues in Firefox and Chrome, yet it works flawlessly in Opera and Safari. troubled code: var pattern = /(\s+(?!\$\w+)|(^(?!\$\w+)))/g; if(pattern.test(String(id).replace(/\s+OR|AND\s+/g, ''))) { searchError("You suck."); return 1; } When you pass in white space, it blocks it every time. When you pass in s...

How to code anchor tags as block element to contain other block elements

I am experiencing the same problem described in this thread. I'm wondering if there are other ways to achieve the same result and avoid this issue. Apparently Firefox has issues with anchor tags containing block elements even when the display CSS property of the anchor tag is set to "block". The effect that I am trying to achieve is to ...

Select selenium element by name with parantheses?

I have the following input element: <input name='selected(1234)' type="checkbox" /> When I record, I get this: Command: click Target: selected(1234) This doesn't find the element, and neither does Target: name=selected(1234) My assumption is that the parentheses are somehow messing with the lookup.

In Firefox, use a plugin or extension to invoke "unsafe" APIs?

Firefox extensions can invoke privileged APIs (e.g. nsIProcess to start an external app) without bugging the user, for example this extension does it from the download window: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10902/ I need to do the same kind of thing, but from a UI on a web page. Can an extension provide a XUL widget (whi...

jQuery .load() function is failing in firefox 3.6.10

Obscure Javascript difference between IE / Firefox / Opera

Within a "cloaked" site, using obj.innerHTML = something to change the contents of a div seems to screw up the div's position in Firefox and Opera.
