VSC Live Server is driving me nuts - visual-studio

I don't get how this thing is so buggy on my mac ugh
Firstly it is such a hassle to open cuz it won't open in chrome without typing in the IP manually (is there still no solution besides changing settings that won't work)??
But most importantly, my CSS file is just not loading...
I did everything already from restart to reinstall, etc.
And when I open the file from Chrome the code does works so it's not my link...
Does anyone have another solution for the CSS to load, please?

To give some feedback (after a LOT of crying and tinkering around)...
I think fixed the CSS file not loading on Live Server? It seems that the extension loads the resources as if the folder the HTML is in is the root, so I had to use a relative path (which took a WHILE to get to its liking as well...)
Still not opening without a fuss though haha...

VSCode Live Server - Changes URL to /undefined

Was using LiveServer no problem for quite some time, suddenly I go and refresh the page and it changes /index.html to /undefined. Nothing I do fixes it, if I erase the /undefined, it displays the proper page for a split second then returns to /undefined.
I have attempted to uninstall & restart VSCode then reinstall, unsure what to do from here.
Turns out you cannot use certain words in your JS code or it will ruin it.

Xdebug with PHPStorm 8 -- opens WRONG file at non-existing breakpoint

I am having trouble using Xdebug with PHPStorm. I have searched Google, etc.
I have Xdebug setup on a remote host with my local files mirroring the remote host. I am using the Xdebug Chrome extension.
When I run the debugging through PHPStorm, it OPENS a file and shows a blue-highlighted breakpoint that does NOT exist at that file. It will stay there until I hit "resume" multiple times until I get to the file I actually want to debug. VERY annoying because then the session on Chrome timesout, so I can't debug.
I do not see any code that says xdebug_break(); and I never added a breakpoint to that file. In other words, there are no red markings at the left of the line numbers.
What is going on and how do I fix this? Has anyone else come across this problem?
I have tried skipping and ignoring the file ... still does not work! Yes, I have also viewed breakpoints through a separate window and it does not show the breakpoint that apparently exists.
Check the configuration on PHPStorm stop at first line property and disable it
After that go to Run >> Break at first line in PHP scripts
Try turning it ON and OFF few times. Sometimes it is get stuck in between: showing OFF but in reality it is ON.
This is a well known issue Read: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-17389
I was having the same problem with my PHPStorm/xdebug config. It turned out I had the path mappings wrong when I mapped the root of the local file directory to the Absolute path on the server - Settings->Languages and Frameworks -> PHP -> Servers.
I fixed the mapping and the system is behaving predictably once again.

Code in Firefox about:config variable - what does it do?

Firefox is misbehaving, so I was looking around in about:config, and I stumbled upon something that looks like code. It was in a config variable called extentions.5103ad57a64ad.scode. I'm not familiar with the environment in which this code might run, and it seems to me that it is somewhat obfuscated, but I figure there must be someone here who can figure it out.
For readability, I've put in newlines after most semicolons, and in a few other places; originally, the code was all in one long line.
I'm having trouble with pasting the code and getting the formatting right, so I've uploaded the code to Dropbox here https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/86984895/ff_code.txt
Since my first guess is that the code is malicious, I cleared the variable. It has since reset itself. I do have an idea of how to clean my machine of any malware I may have caught, but I'm still interested in knowing what this code would do, if it were run.
Seems like you have the IETab plus addon installed, which installs adware. When you go to a google page this addon shows price comparison information.
You should uninstall IE Tab Plus and install IE Tab 2, found here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/92382/
Or, if you can, don't install IE Tab at all.

Webcore NSBeep()! when copy from uiwebview

I'm developing an epub reader with monocle (https://github.com/joseph/Monocle) which is launched in a uiwebview. My problem is that when I try to copy some text, like what we would do in any other uiwebview, it doesn't seems to do anything... well, I get Webcore NSBeep()! in output view.
any idea or approach?
Webcore NSBeep()! is a error notification, because when you try to copy text from UIWebview the text is not copied into your clipboard and the error notified using a beep (IMHO which is not wise way of notifying errorr by any platform, it would have been any visual indication)
And please note : NSBeep() is part of the ApplicationKit framework which doesn't exist on the iPhone.
I had the same strange issue, irritatingly enough everything worked for quite some time. Then with some changes, this error happened. Reverting the code did not help. After a whole day searching and thinking, I still don't know what caused this, but I know that it wasn't my code!
My theory is that either my git repository was somehow messed up or it was because I edited my project with a beta version of the IDE+SDK. Either way, you should probably look into recreating your webview in InterfaceBuilder. Or recreate your project (or at least partially to confirm that it might be a bug in the project itself). I think/hope that the error will go away then.

Firefox extension: Handle file save dialogs

Some of the webpages I visit have stubborn save file dialogs for executables. I would like to do one of the following using an extension:
Save the file by default and close the dialog box. I looked at http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions It doesn't really work for these files (the problem is described at: http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions under 'Unable to set automatic action. I verified the headers.)
I guess I can use browser.download.manager.closeWhenDone from https:// developer.mozilla.org/en/Download_Manager_preferences , if I figure out the first part :)
Suppress the download manager from showing any such dialogs altogether.
I found https:// developer.mozilla.org/en/nsIDownloadManager#addListener() and https:// developer.mozilla.org/en/Download_Manager_improvements_in_Firefox_3 that look promising. I don't really know how to extract the source URI for the transfer either. I'm curious if anyone has any existing examples for using these or if there's a better way to do this. Or if someone knows what part of Firefox's code I could poke, that would be useful too.
Thanks!
PS: Sorry,I had to break the hyper-links above with an unnecessary space after https:// - apparently I need 10 reputation to do that :)
FWIW, I managed to work around this - though my solution probably wont work for most others.
Fortunately I'm behind a proxy I control, so I just corrected the obnoxious headers (Content-Disposition and Content-Type) before they reached Firefox. These were forcing Firefox to open the File Save Dialog box despite my specified preference to 'Always save file of this type'. Furthermore, I set 'browser.download.manager.closeWhenDone' property to True. Works for me, and I cruise through such sites w.o being interrupted.
