Updated Firefox Extension - Still says "No updates were found."

I am working on a new version of a firefox extension, but after releasing it, and incrementing the em:version in install.rdf and update.rdf, when I click "Find updates" Firefox reports that "No updates were found." When I run it with debugging on, the output in the console is actually identical to what I see when I don't put the update ...

Why does firefox say "connection partially encrypted" on this page?

Here's the page: https://www.testmasters.net/test/ssltest2.aspx When I go to it (in firefox or chrome), it says "connection partially encrypted". But all references to objects are https and not http as far as I can tell. What's odd is that if you remove the RequiredFieldValidator, the page works fine. Here's the source (ASP.NET 3.5): ...

Safari/WebKit table over-run when using whitespace: nowrap

Having a strange rendering issue with Safari: I have a table inside a div. Inside the table <td> I have lots of div's floated left. So the normal display is all of the divs within the td stacked up to the left until they fill the width, then flow to the next line, and so forth. So something like this: |===========================| | ...

window.ScrollMaxY or X - How to set in FireFox 3?

window.scrollMaxY can be set via that property in IE and older versions of Firefox, but when trying in FF3 it says "Cannot set this property as it only has a getter". What is my alternative? EDIT: The reason why I'm asking is that I'm fixing some very horrible JS written by someone else, it has a function to keep a div centered on the...

ASP.NET 2.0 callbacks not working correctly in Firefox

Firefox 3.03 and contentEditable

I'm using the contentEditable attribute on a DIV element in Firefox 3.03. Setting it to true allows me to edit the text content of the DIV, as expected. Then, when I set contentEditable to "false", the div is no longer editable, also as expected. However the flashing caret (text input cursor) remains visible even though the text is ...

Firefox: visually flag redirect in address bar

I'm wondering if there's any way to have Firefox 3 (or IE 7 or safari 3.1 or Opera) flag that a redirect has occurred (i.e. any deltas between the hyperlink or URL entered into address bar, and the page you land on), whether you've arrived from a hyperlink or entering URL into address bar. I've googled some, looked at the linker addon, ...

SharePoint and Firefox 3

I think most of the SharePoint developers and administrators know that with the change form Firefox 2 to Firefox 3 some functionality of SharePoint have became unavailable.

Firefox 3 doesn't apply my xslt stylesheet, but other browsers do.

I'm trying to serve dynamically generated xml pages from a web server, and provide a custom, static, xslt from the same web server, that will offload the processing into the client web browser. Until recently, I had this working fine in Firefox 2, 3, IE5, 6 and Chrome. Recently, though, something has changed, and Firefox 3 now displays ...

Unique element ID, even if element doesn't have one

I'm writing a GreaseMonkey script where I'm iterating through a bunch of elements. For each element, I need a string ID that I can use to reference that element later. The element itself doesn't have an id attribute, and I can't modify the original document to give it one (although I can make DOM changes in my script). I can't store the ...

What is different with window and div widths between firefox and IE

I have a web page that uses a scrolling div to display table information. When the window is resized (and also on page load), the display is centered and the div's scrollbar positioned to the right of the page by setting its width. For some reason, the behaviour is different under firefox than IE. IE positions/sizes the div as expected, ...

Using ActiveX objects in Javascript in Linux (in Firefox)

Hi, It's not quite a "programming" question, but I hope its related closely enough. Do you know if it is possible to configure the browser in Linux (e.g. Firefox) to use Wine to create ActiveX objects?

How can I define an accesskey for an invisible HTML element

I have a <button> with an accesskey assgined to it. The accesskey works fine as long as the button is visible, but when I set display: none or visibility: hidden, the accesskey no longer works.

How does XUL (specifically firefox) statusbar positioning work?

When I go to create my status bar overlay, I note that I can include a position attribute. I want to be able to dynamically change this attribute. Near as I can tell, just using JavaScript to find the element and change the position attribute doesn't move the status bar panel around on the status bar. Any suggestions as to how to accomp...

Calling COM objects from a Firefox addon

I'm about to take on a project that requires a Firefox addon to issue call to COM dll's installed on the client Windows machine and I'm having a hard time estimating the complexity of this undertaking.
