I noticed that the source code shown in Firefox appears to be incomplete. I have the latest version. When using the Firebug plugin to look at a webpage, I am able to find elements which are simply not recognized by Firefox. This is for a automated script I am working on. I am wondering several things: Why is a firefox plugin able to...
I'm debugging a program I wrote and noticed something strange. I set up an HTTP server on port 12345 that servers a simple OGG video file, and attempted to access it from Firefox. Upon sniffing the network requests, I found these two requests were made: GET /video.ogv HTTP/1.1 Host: 127.0.0.1:12345 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U...

I've got several editable divs. I want to jump through them by pressing arrow keys (38 and 40). Firefox 3 on Mac OS and Linux won't repeat the events on holding the key. Obviously only keypress events are supported for repetition. As the keys 38 and 40 are only supported on keydown I'm kind of stuck. ...
I'm making a firefox extension (nsACString is from mozilla) but LoadLibrary expects a LPCWSTR. I googled a few options but nothing worked. Sort of out of my depth with strings so any references would also be appreciated. ...
Is it possible through a plugin or setting or something to allow Firefox to recognize the live DOM source code? Basically, firebug or other similar tools can recognize elements on the page which Firefox does not. I understand with these extensions I have the ability to see such changes made by javascript, but Firefox does not seem to f...
What approach should I take to develop software to block traffic at the desktop level (windows) to sites based on their domain name. Messing with a host file was easy, but the browser seems to have too long of a delay before it recognizes changes in the host file. My ideal solution would be a simple ruby script to disable sites during ...
I have an NPAPI Plugin that runs in Firefox, but any time that the tab is "torn off" (by dragging the tab into space so a new window is formed), the plugin is destroyed and recreated. The problem is that the plugin needs to be initialized with information from an Ajax call, and I cannot find any way in Javascript to detect this, so the p...
I've been playing around with the HTML5 video tag and I'm puzzled as to how best to degrade when you can't support a codec? For older browsers (or IE) that don't support the video tag at all this quite is straight forward: <video width="320" height="240"> <source src="vid.ogv" type='video/ogg'> <source src="vid.mp4" type='video/mp...
Ok this is weird. If I make a request to a page, where it's text/html, firefox makes one request. If I make a request to a page, where it's application/xml, firefox makes two requests. In IE, Google Chrome, it one makes one in both cases. Any ideas why the two requests, and how I can force just the one? ...
I have a html table with static headers. The rest of the body scrolls within a fixed size window. (Using overflow:scroll; height:550px; overflow-x:hidden; for the tbody ) When the number of rows is less than what fits in the scrolling window, the row size automatically expands to fill the entire scroll window. How do I "disable this"?...
I've seen quite a few threads here talking about flickering in Firefox, but none that quite describe the problem I'm having. I've got a horizontal scrolling website, fixed position menus, and the jquery plugin .scrollTo handling next and previous buttons. This works great in Chrome and Safari (don't know about IE), but in Firefox there...

In Firefox, I'd like to be able to highlight a word or number, then right click and have options that would open various custom links such as: View User Profile -> http://mysite.com/user/HIGHLIGHTEDWORD View User Admin Page -> http://mysite.com/admin/user.php?user=HIGHLIGHTEDWORD View Order Page -> http://mysite.com/orderdetailspage.p...

The symbols look like  If i view the .html file that is saved on my computer I don't have any problems. It only occurs after I have uploaded it to the server, and view the page with Firefox thro...
I'm trying to run a very simple browser detect script and it executes just fine in Safari and Chrome (running on a Mac) but doesn't execute at all in Firefox. I can boil it down to the simplest possible form, and it still doesn't execute: <script type="text/javascript"> if (navigator.userAgent.match(/^.*Chrome.*$/)) {break;} else { loca...
I have noticed that Firebug and some other addons I have browsed require that Firefox be installed and running for them to be installed. That's a little inconvenient, given that my development machine is not connected to the internet. Is there a way to download and install the addins using a flash drive? ...
Hi, all I need to write a browser plugin to communicate with another process, and it seems I have to use NPAPI plugins. Is there any example or open source NPAPI plugin I can refer to?
