so when i view a page it's stored in firefox's cache. can i access this data or is it stored in a non-user friendly format?

kbrosnan: thank you, since didn't write my nick, I did not notice it, sorry
kbrosnan: I check it now
kbrosnan: nothing changed!

SepehrLajevardi: using !important?

kbrosnan: oh, no. let me try

Hi, is there any way to disable cross domain xhrget security in Firefox > 3 for development use, I cannot alter the headers the server sends and setting up a proxy seems like overkill

kbrosnan: nothing!
kbrosnan:
.bookmark-item:hover > .toolbarbutton-icon{
border: 1px solid #ccc !important;
}

g^: https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Same-origin_policy_for_file:_URIs

kbrosnan: thank you for your help kbrosnan, I have to go

kbrosnan: ye, but that is for local files only, how about situation where writing gui with Dojo (local js & html) that uses live server to fetch json.

SepehrLajevardi: getting that sort of things sorted out takes a bit of work
https://developer.mozilla.org/En/HTTP_access_control

yep, I did read that one, but seems like if I cannot alter the origin header in response, there is little else I can do?

maybe the tamperdata extension would allow you to correct the headers

kbrosnan: good idea, definetly worth a try... Thanks!

Hello, does anyone know why nothing appears in Firefox with <span style="font-family: Roman; font-size: 15pt;">Roman font</span> ?

infinisoft: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=512183 aparently

kbrosnan: thanks

I notice that the documentation on https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Reference/Objects/Date/getYear talks about returning either a 2 or 4 digit year.
But as of 2010 the getYear() function is returning 3 digits

that page doesn't make any mention of 4 digit years, as far as I can tell
and it describes quite clearly why you now get three digit years...

heyho
can i supply firefox with different policies for the jvm?

Hello to you too.

(and if yes, how?)
or can i set a policy file created with javas policytool?

hello, I'm looking for a developer knowledgable in Firefox extensions. Who knows enough to build something like Firebug (but not with the debugging features - other totally unrelated features). What we like about Firebug is the way it integrates into the Chrome and how it interacts with the events and content of the browser window.
Anyone here know anyone?

hey guys, looks like colorzilla doesnt work with 3.5.7
is there any fix/alternative

sixtila: Works fine for me in 3.6pre. Are you saying its reporting as not compatible?

just found that the problem is different
i cant install any addon
it just says connectiong
and nothing happens

What does 'nslookup releases.mozilla.org' say in a command line?

one addon finally got installed after 10 mins or so
do you need the output to see

Probably won't help much. Sounds like a connectivity / DNS issue.

probably,
at first when i download from the site, it takes 5 mins
just to get to the download point
is it temporary?
or can be permanent
it says connecting to releases.mozilla.org in the status bar and thats it

Hopefully temporary. Unless you've always had problems getting add-ons from releases.m.o

hope its temporary
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/latest/271/addon-271-latest.xpi?src=addondetail
because: Download error
-228

sixtila: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions_-_Firefox#Download_Error_-228

could it be i m having some virus/spyware?
i m in ubuntu

I find this highly unlikely ;-)

doe ie tab or ie view work for ubuntu also?

good bye

hi
when I upload videos to Metacafe or Megaupload, Firefox hangs
as soon as the file has finished uploading, the browser continues to work as usual

hey guys
is there a way to "force" a crash report from a user standpoint
I'm hitting some deadlock in one of my users browsers, and I'd like to get them to submit a crash report to help me find the issue, but it doesn't show up because it doesn't crash

How can I delete individual remembered-username items?
there must be a registry somewhere
(i accidentally typed my password into a username box and its remembered)

subsume: hover over the entry with the mouse and press delete, or use the arrow keys to select the entry and press delete

kbrosnan: I'm on OSX... the delete isn't working

shift delete on that os i believe

yer awesome, thanks.

Anyone around able to help with a tricky problem?

hey
firefox people
i am in some trouble
Could not launch Adobe Reader 8.1.7. Please make sure it exists in PATH variable in the environment. If the problem persists, please reinstall the application.
what is that error

i think adobe reader is not installed correctly

i used
i in stalöl adobe from source
and i sed ./install_browser_plugin
told me that
Installation successful.
/home/benebioglu/.mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so has been added.
This will enable the plugin for Mozilla, Firefox and Netscape.

you might need to logout before it starts working... or try launching FF from the commandline with PATH set appropriately.

hmm
log out from system
camn i ask
what is that silly character http://paste.org/pastebin/view/14479

looks like something printing garbage.

and i have two crashing reports
wait a sec
http://paste.org/pastebin/view/14481
i saw these two crashes within 2 minutes
definitely firefox has a trouble with adobe
third crash report while trying to pdf

why does firefox print only one page although the body is scrollable ?
i have to save as html and print with openoffice..
although i'm using "page-break-after: always;"

where does rhythmbox keep its files? which directory in my home directory that is

why flash is sooooooooooooooooo sucky for linux :(

jmut flash always has been sucky

Accesshater1: why thing is why. on windows it's perfect. isn't it open standard or something. I am not into it but just wondering how it could be sooo awful
..on linux

adobe is closed source. nothing to do about it.
there is an open source implementation but that sucks even more
jmut what flash version are you running?

Accesshater1: 10.0 r32 sorry didn't see you typing

well there is nothing to do about that i think. you can try to search for posts that explain how to increase the flash performance
if possible

Hi
I have fedora12 as my OS and Mozilla/5.0; Linux x86_64. I like to know if I install the "DownThemAll" which is download manager, does this work with my firefox.
Anyone knows about my issue of DownThemAll download manager?

i have a problem with thunderbird
i know this is firefox channel but i found no thunderbird channel
anyway, i would like to create a plain text message, i select Options -> Format -> Plain Text Only
however, when i paste some stuff into the mail, all links are formatted in blue color
i do not think that's plain text

RLa: #thunderbird is on irc.mozilla.org

thanks

hey what do we call that thing ......when due to a bug an application keeps on increasing cpu usage and finally 100%? [00:21] <pk_> thing*

I want to be able to hand enter file paths in a file upload dialog. Every time I click in the filename field, a file selector pops up. I need to enter hidden directories which the file selector won't do. plus I can type it a lot faster than selecting with a browser.
anyone know which thing under about:config will let me enter my own filenames? or at least something that allows viewing hidden files/directories?

¿¿

xangua: well said

hidden files¿¿ have you tried Control+H to show them wwalker¿

xangua: thanks! that works! I'd still prefer to type in the paths instead of using the file selector

Control+L ¿
jum

wwalker: not possible

:( thx kbrosnan

I figured out how to tunnel IRC through http using a form!
working example here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3893190/proggit.html

tunnel irc through http using form??
what are you talking about?

check the page source
it's in a hidden frame

browsers can't handle the irc protocol, so what your explaining isn't posible...

yes it is

you need to have a cgi script or something

It uses a text/plain enctype
and sends the data through POST
the ircd ignores all the http headers
it's not interactive obviously
but I can make it spam a channel

nice, and thats what we all are here to do... spam channels -_-'

lol
I just think it's interesting

i don't

hey ppl, why does not ff display my svg image in an <img ...> tag!?!

hi
im just wondering if i can make devanagari text much larger than default? but not have to scale up the english language bits
I found some 'advanced' option in the font setting but don't think that does it :Sa

soupdragon: I don't think there's prefs to do per-language or per-script font sizes

aww om
ok*
do you think there's any way I can sort of wedge this feature into firefox
I found a plugin that might do it actually
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/13106
how do you get the source code ?
it sasy Mozilla Public License, version 1.1 but I can't find it :?

hi all, i am having a prolem with modified gmaiel macros. i i can't get even help to come up when i hit 'h'

:(
I don't know what to do then

soupdragon: what are yos wining about

font size
im trying to butcher this plugin I found to do it

soupdragon: what plugin

Large Thai
I think it's this: for (x = 3585 ; x < 3675 ; x++)
unicode points for thai
I just need to change it to devanagari

soupdragon: are you trying to do this to every page

yes

soupdragon: why not change it then in about:config

ill have a go with that ty
mm how?
I set things like font.size.fixed.x-devanagari;44

anyone else experience a problem in windows after upgrading to 3.5.7 where the scoll bar is on the left and mousewheel no longer scolls?

but it doesn't have any effect

this is using the silent install
-ms

(0x0901,0x097F)

soupdragon: http://maketecheasier.com/28-coolest-firefox-aboutconfig-tricks/2008/08/21

whoever I don't think that helps

soupdragon: here .. sorry http://forums.cnet.com/5208-6620_102-0.html?threadID=235894

whoever, I got Large Thai and I changed it for devanagari
it's not really user friendly but I think I can learn to write a proper plugin on the weekend and maybe get it to be good

soupdragon:largethi ... is large print thi ?

Thai

so i guess i don't get it , i thaught you were trying to change font ie: thi to english .. so what am i missing
