Hello. Anyone know how to copy to the clipboard in firefox using javascript? Any way to do it without running a flash program?

joedeveloper: not without getting your users to jump through hoops of whitelisting your site in about:config

This is going to be an internal thing for some automation, so if the hoops are a one-time setup, thats ok.

one min, i'll get a link

extentsions.checkCompatibility no longer seems to function
kthomas_vh, see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Extensions.checkCompatibility

Hello, how do I avoid time out errors on slow connections? (dialup internet) Is there a setting for this? I often will have the page load halfway, and then suddenly loose it all with full page connection reset error
I specifically get "the connection to the server was reset while the page was loading" message
and have to reload a couple times to get the page to come up

MaxHR: the only thing I can think off is that you can tell firefox to have less http connections at the same time
which would reduce the impact of a slow connection on them
MaxHR: if you want to give that a try, type "about:config" into the address bar to get to the "hidden" extended config with the more advanced settings

which setting is it called?

and then search for network.http.max-conncections (maximum amount of concurrent connections to all servers)
and network.http.max-conncections-per-server (maximum amount for a single server)

ok
th
x

also, you can try to deactivate network.http.pipelining
which does many requests to one server at a time and not one after another
(which probably increases the likeliness of failure with a low bandwidth)

any suggestions for numbers on the first two settings?
pipelining is already off

MaxHR: you can try anything down to 1 :D
just mess around with it and see what works best for you

what about the keepalive timeout, should I increase that number?

oh that might also be an idea
firefox keeps a connection open for multiple requests one after another, and that should be the timeout when that connection is considered dead
so increasing it can probably help keeping it open also under bad conditions

Yarca: thx, I will play with the settings, bye

is there any way to change the colour of the about:blank white background?
or instead of any color can i replace it witha image?
somebody?

hi, I'm trying to register a custom protocol eclipse:// which launches e.g. eclipse://local/file/path in the eclipse IDE. I'm on OSX 10.6 with firefox 3.6.
I have followed the mac instructions here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Register_protocol (though noting that this is only for firefox 3 and below), restarted firefox several times but no luck
I get the same warning every time: "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (eclipse) isn't associated with any program."

you need to register it at the os level. those prefs are not aplicable anymore

kbrosnan: sweet
how do I do that

i don't have access to os x

any resources out there you could point me to?

short of searching on os x set protocol handler, no

kbrosnan: okay thanks anyway

Yay! I have a firefox cloak! :)

no!!!
dolske is fast.

yuck...
ya he is

where does firefox store its files in ram?
like what folder?

auscompgeek: twss

syrius: what os

I know of the cache folder
linux

er, in ram? that's& in ram
ram != hdd

but some files seem to get deleted there

syrius: ~/.mozilla/firefox/Cache
opps

syrius, you'll need a ramdisk for that :)

syrius: ~/.mozilla/firefox/<your profile>/Cache

though I've done the ramdisk route :)

how do I access files that get deleted in cache like from flash?
is it stored in ram?

syrius: flash has its own cache

^^ half of southern Florida on Comcast has just gone away

er, usually, Flash files are stored in temp folder

yep. will lift it in a bit.

:O

why is that kthomas_vh
what happened?

NP, I'm no Comcast fan

syrius, look at the ban

ooo

syrius: flooding from someone just before you joined.

comcast blows
I have comcast
internet is good
but tv is crap too many annoying ads

yeah, I've spent a good week of my life talking to comcast techs

I don't watch the tv much
why is that?

well...
anyway, normally your cache will not be in RAM

But you could put it in RAM, even your profile if you wanted to.

^ which can offer some speed improvements :)
but watch out for those big, balooning files

better to just let the OS file caching deal with that. :P

well, depends on how many tabs you want to keep open at once :)

:D

with TabMixPlus and TabGroups Manager...
I try to keep it below a few thousand

:O

hey, I need a lot of stack space

if you've got a lot of tabs, it would generally be better to let the browser use memory than to tie it up with a ram disk for cache.
ram disks generally are not worth the effort these days.

well... been there... there are tradeoffs... and memory usage has gotten better in 3.x

why does chrome work perfectly in kde as far as file handlers go and firefox is just a trainwreck?

can someone tell me how to remove outdated languages from firefox?

?

yeah upgraded from 3.5 to 3.6 on ubuntu

What do you mean "outdated languages"?

its version is 3.5.2
and says its not compatible with version 3.6

Then update it.

how?

Or uninstall it.
press check for updates?

that's not there

Looks like that idiot did the same thing 3 days ago, almost to the minute.

is there an easy way to undo an addon update?

<_<
dosconnected by serivces?
*dis
ah the ghost :x

hi all i cant seem to get totem working inside firefox on ubuntu 8.04, 9.04, and ubuntu 9.10, any other players that have a plugin for firefox that works? (i have firefox 3.0) and i cant get any newer flash then 9.0 into firefox for ubuntu 8.04

can someone direct me to a resource which can help me know how and where to put in the proxy information in a http packet?

maybe an rfc for that?

does firefox directly use the codecs from xiph.org or do they use ffmpeg?
ogg/vorbis

Raydiation: xiph.org codecs

I want to disable BOLD, could I use greasemonkey to do that?

[reed]: ty

L65druid: sounds doable

ty

Sounds more efficient to do it with Stylish.
Just, like, "font-weight: normal !important;" or something.

well, I'm using a live cd, could anyone please paste a url to linux version of firefox?
