I'm trying to prevent users from removing Google Chrome extensions on my desktop running MacOS. I have successfully done so on my Windows devices by editing the registry to remove the "Remove Extension" button on Chrome.
However, I have not been able to find a method for achieving the same on MacOS. Would anyone happen to know how to?

I want to be able to close tabs on my mobile Firefox, while using Desktop version of Firefox. I thought Tab-sync would make it work, but it doesn't. So now I'm on the quest to fix it with an extension.
I have thought about using sync area of storage (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/storage/sync) but it's not supported on Android.
Do I have to build some external service to send command from Desktop version to that service and then use Mobile Firefox extension to do the polling or there is a better way to utilize fact that I'm logged on both of these devices.
Any ideas please?
I'm using a macos and regularly use the keyboard shortcut ctrl+f2 to view the time when working in full screen mode. However this does not work when working with VSCode. Initially I thought it might be bound to some keyboard shortcut in VSCode itself which it is capturing but could not find such shortcut. Does anyone know how to get this working as expected and show the titlebar as the standard behavior when using other apps on the macos.
This issue is related to Electron-based applications like VSCode, Azure Data Studio and Microsoft Teams. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_(software_framework)
It doesn't happen with bundled macOS applications, Chrome or Office applications.
So, it seems to be related to the Electron infrastructure and should be solved at that level. You can report the issue to their GitHub repository at https://github.com/electron/electron
The "Warn Before Quitting" feature stopped working for me. When I click Cmd-Q Chrome closes immediately instead of showing me the "Hold ⌘Q to close" message.
I want to debug the code responsible for that, but I can't seem to find a way. On Windows I can attach to Chrome, get the PDBs from Google's symbol server, and get the appropriate sources using SrcSrv.
Is there anything similar on OS X?
(Firefox apparently has a script to download symbols for Linux/OS X, though I never tried using it.)
It doesn't happen on another user on my machine or on Chromium. I tried copying my profile to ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome of another user and to ~/Library/Application Support/Chromium (for a Chromium build I made). In both cases the bug did not present itself (though other bad things have happened), so using Chromium doesn't seem like a solution.
(Although I did build Chromium's HEAD rather than the tag corresponding to the version of Google Chrome I'm running. Maybe if I do that I would be able to reproduce the problem in Chromium. Nonetheless the question remains.)
Is it possible to perform source debugging of Google Chrome on OS X? If so, how?
Note: I'm not interested in attempts to solve the "Warn Before Quitting" bug, suggestions to report it to Google, etc. That's not the point. I want to be able to debug Chrome myself.
We are having some wierd behavior in firefox with silverlight. We have tried everything and I am hoping for some more ideas. Below is the behavior
Install firefox (3.6.12) and silverlight (4.0.50917.0). The versions there are locked and not controlled by us and on all our users machines.
Visit our silverlight application (also tried simple application with just a background)
Instead of seeing our application, you see "Get Microsoft Silverlight"
-- (about:plugins reports silverlight 4.0.50917.0 installed and enabled)
Visit site in IE, app works
Install or uninstall any plug-in (tried Firebug and IETab2)
After install, click "Restart" when prompted
After FF restarts, silverlight works as expected
Close firefox and reopen.
Once again, silverlight is broken
Any ideas? We tried the CWDIllegalInDllSearch entry in the registry to no avail. Please help!
I think it is a problem with Firefox that has been fixed with Version 3.6.14. See this BugReport on Bugzilla. A memory leak in prior versions, cause some problems in the Silverlight detection script of Firefox.
I can only suggest to update Firefox to version 3.6.14. But before i would try it in a local test environment to check if its really a bug in Firefox.
Update:
It seems to be a general problem with Firefox 3.6.x, cause some users report the same error as your with higher versions than 3.6.14. See here and here.
The only thing that springs to mind is disabling the plugin-container
In Firefox address bar type about:config
Read the warning, choose your preference to always remind you or not and accept
In the search bar of the config options now type: npctrl
You should then see the entry: dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll
Change the value from true to false (simply double-clicking will change this for you)
Restart Firefox
EDIT
There is another workaround which is to disable then re-enable silverlight plugin. Rather than re-isntalling.
I don't know if this is the correct site, but do you know if there is a good emulator for mobile firefox out there? I want to make some tests on mobile firefox and I don't have a smartphone available :S
Mozilla provides windows, linux and mac os versions of Firefox mobile: https://www.mozilla.com/en/mobile/download/
You can use Firefox OS Simulator, too. It's a browser add-on. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-os-simulator/
Take note: When you install this add-on and encountered a pop-up related to the add-on, just press "Continue" and NOT.. I repeat NOT "Stop Script" :)
