I'm looking at getting a FireFox plugin developed - but is it possible to create a plugin that is for private use only, so only those I share it with have it and not open to the masses? Need this for 2 reasons; 1) while in BETA and 2) for my clients use only to start with. ...
Most of my javascript work is done with Firebug and I feel annoying most of the times having to switch between the HTML mode and console mode (which again I split into output mode and input mode). When I switch to a different page to see the HTML and come back, I lose the code that I write. What is the best way to go about developing jav...
I have an HTML form with a select list and a radio button, both of which are initially set with disabled = true. At some point, these elements are enabled via JavaScript (i.e., disabled = false). This works fine in IE and Chrome, but in FireFox the element remains disabled. It appears to be enabled, but doesn't respond to mouse clicks...
In Internet explorer, when there's a JavaScript error, I get a little popup that tells me so. This doesn't happen in FireFox 3. How do I enable this in FF? I realize this isn't a programming question per se (please don't close this question; forgive me!), but I'm trying to debug some JavaScript and it'd be really nice to see these messa...
I am trying to build a xpi file using Java servlet. If I return the xpi as a zip using the following code in the servlet - response.setContentType("application/zip"); response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","inline;filename=xpitest.xpi;"); Everything works fine with above code. I can save the file to the filesystem and install it. H...
This macro should activate tabs in sequence from 1th to 5th and then again. But there is something wrong. When you open 5 tabs, activate first of them and run this code in iMacros firefox extension, the 3th tab never is activated: //imacros-js:showsteps no var x=1; while(true) { iimPlay("CODE:TAB T="+x+"\n"); alert(x); x=x+1; ...
Hi all, Having a bit of a problem with the AJAX Accordion Control... I have two panes, one of which is open by default, but in Firefox it displays scrollbars across both axis - when you extend the second panel, these disappear. In IE no scrollbars are rendered - which is what i'm aiming for! Using FireBug, I can see that when the Acco...
i tried openeing a new window using window.open("lookup.htm","lookupWin", "height=400,width=500,resizable=false"); it works fine in IE, but in FF the pop up is still resizable. How to disable this resizing in FF as well? ...
I'm currently using a Cache Manifest (as described here). This effectively makes the necessary resources to run the application available when the user is offline. Unfortunately, it works a little too well. After the cache manifest is loaded, Firefox 3.5+ caches all of the resources explicitly referenced in the cache manifest. Howeve...
Hi there I have a simple aspx page with some search options which queries an SQLEXpress database, and it is displayed in a gridview. For some reason, it runs lightning fast in IE but very slow in Firefox. It has very little code, a gridview a couple of images and a couple of textboxes and a search button. It was done with Expression We...
I noticed that once Firefox pops up a modal in response to a WWW-Authenticate header in an HTTP response. Then, Firefox saves the username/password until Firefox is closed. The Web Developer plug-in makes it possible for developer-minded people to logout. But what HTTP message should be sent to the browser to lose those cached credent...
I have the following example code, which should pop up an alert when the div is in focus and a key is pressed. This does what I expect in IE 7, but not in Firefox 3.5.5. What am I doing wrong? <html> <head> <title>JS test</title> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascri...

I need a way to open a new URL in firefox from the shell on OS X. The normal way I do this is with the open command ... but the open command doesn't seem to pass query/fragment values when the location is a file: uri. Granted, this a bit of an abuse of a file uri, but if you give either FF or Safari the URI in the loc bar, they (seem to)...
I am looking for a better way to pass information between my Firefox extension and .NET application. Currently, I am using text files to pass information one way to the .NET application by using the FileSystemWatcher class. The .NET application watches for new files in a specific directory when the Firefox extension writes to it and th...
I am developing web pages which reference external links/images/stylesheets etc. I have 1 page which loads fine in HTTPS, but then when I apply different external styles, some of the external styles cause a warning "Contains unauthenticated content" Don't get me wrong, I understand WHAT this means, but I can't see any reference to any H...
I wanna move a div block to the top, so I coded like this: CSS part: .movingPart{ margin-top:80px; } jQuery part: $(document).ready(function() { $('#btn').click(function() { $('.movingPart').animate({ "margin-top":'0px' }); }); }); it works perfectly in chrome, but doesn't move a little in firefox, why??? t...
Hi Guys, I have been wracking my brains for the whole day on this one. It appears that the SVG DOM manipulations supported by Firefox 3.5 are very limited. A few properties like this.style.cursor can be successfully manipulated with an onmouseover handler but interesting properties like this.style.fill or this.style.stroke cannot be! D...
I noticed an issue where with the following HTML: <html> <head> <title>UrlEncode Test</title> </head> <body> <a href="http://example.com/Process.php?OrderID=y%2bog%3d">Process</a> </body> </html> Instead of replacing %2b with +, Firefox does so with a space instead so that clicking on the link ...
Firefox and Chrome are known to be slow on localhost when IP6 is enabled. In previous versions of Windows, the simplest fix is to comment out this line from the hosts file, as explained in the answer to this question. ::1 localhost However, as noted in this question, in Windows 7 this line is already commented out: # localhost name r...
