I'm still running Firefox 2.0.0. For backward compatibility reasons I'd like to know weather there is a easy way to replace the NPN_PluginThreadAsyncCall, NPN_ScheduleTimer mechanism that the newer npapi supplies. The only solution that I would come up with is to evaluate a javascript "setTimeout" that would call the plugin then ......

Did anybody successfully manage to correctly export a vcard from a Website containing Microformats (hcard) with this Firefox Plugin? When doing so, I end up with weird characters instead of (german/spanish) Umlauts. While it's really easy to provide vcards as well, I would like to know if someone managed to correct the charset/character ...

I have a Windows application that works with Firefox. If Firefox is already open, I'd like to have it open a given URL in the current tab+window as is currently showing. Our application tends to open a lot of URLs and reusing the same browser window makes the most sense. I already have a COM application that works with Internet Explor...
I've got a form that inserts data into a database using ASP.NET 2.0 . The problem is that when I hit the submit button on FireFox, the page submits and I'm redirected to the correct page. The problem is that the data isn't actually saved. When I try this on IE, it works fine. When I try this on FireFox using another browser it works ...
I am creating a Firefox extension that pops up growl-like notifications. Currently I am popping them up relative to a status bar icon. This is fine unless there are other status bar extensions installed that would make my icon not the rightmost element. How would I go about positioning it so that the notifications always start at the bot...
Hi, I have tried out the NPRuntime sample provided with the Gecko SDK 1.9.1 with the help of this link. It works perfectly fine with Firefox 3.6. Following the above steps I created a new scripting plugin (npmyplugin.dll). I am currently placing npmyplugin.dll in a folder other than Firefox/plugins. I am registering the associated mim...
Hi All, I am trying to capture a page load event while developing a extension for firefox. I am using ProgressListeners for this. I cannot use the onLocation change event because it fires an event every time the user switches the tab. I just want to log every new page he has visited. OnProgressChange works for me, but this is fired m...

I'm using Jquery (1.3.2) $.post command to trigger an ajax call to a rails server. The code works great on Safari and on Google Chrome (mac), but when I tried it on Firefox (3.5.7), I got a weird '406 Not Acceptable' error. When I look at the headers, it Firefox indicated that it accepted only ' text/javascript' responses. And the ...
I've developed a firefox extension which contains a small dialog defined by this XUL script: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://global/skin/" type="text/css"?> <prefwindow id="firenowPreferences" xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul" title="Fire.Now" ondialogaccept='on...
I need to serve XHTML pages that include Javascript. My problem is that Firefox (3.5.7) seems to ignore the Javascript. For example: <?xml version="1.0"?> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>My Title</title> </head> <body> <script type="text/javascript"> document.write("Hello world!"); </...

I found that is possible to retrieve the mouse position in IE outside the document or even the browser window, by using "window.onblur" or "window.onfocusout" or something like that. Even in Firefox it gives you negative mouse coordinates in the onmouseout event handler if you let your mouse pointer go out of the viewport quickly. Can ...
