Is there a way to use Emmet with Firefox Developer Tools? - firefox

I use Firefox's Developer Tools for developing CSS, and it's great, however I have tried many times in the past to get Emmet support in their code editor without any success. I wondered if any of you wizards had any ideas. I came up with 'snippets' to use with an old text expanding AutoHotKey program called Texter - https://gist.github.com/jeffreykarbowski/280576, I recently had to change computers and I can't seem to get Texter to work any longer.
It would be nice to be able to setup a WebExtension or the likes to have it integrated right into the FF Style Editor (as a plugin), however, it seems like this has been address already and currently not possible? https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1088996
Maybe a different port to an AHK script or a Node script that runs in the background? I am not sure, but I don't care for the LiveReload that the Emmet developer put out, and it doesn't work with FF anyways. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

Chrome Extension doesn't work on Ubuntu despites it works on windows perfectly

I'm working in a Chrome Extension, very simple, it just take a vector with dates to count the working days (no weekend or holiday). It works with bootstrap and soma JavaScript functions to count.
It works perfectly fine in windows, but I need them to work in Ubuntu too. After installation, when trying to open on Ubuntu, icon disappears from task bar. If I look at it on Extensions admin, it says the extension is damaged with a "Repair" button. Repairing it doesn't work either.
Does anyone know the cause? Any help will be appreciated.
Any documentation needed will be added on a edit.
(Sorry for my english)

How can I lock down a Mac to exhibit one website?

I'm currently working on a website that will be in an exhibition soon. Users will have a keyboard and mouse in front of them, so I need to lock down the machine to be restricted to just one website. Guided Access mode on iOS is a perfect example. I wish Apple had an OS X version for this reason.
I'm currently trying parental controls but it seems to be quite buggy/not responding to my preferences. I'd really love to just have Chrome or Safari locked to fullscreen somehow so users can't exit the browser/redirect to another website.
Thank you in advance!
I'm thinking you could put Chrome in kiosk mode(can't change website) then change the shortcut keys for exiting out of fullscreen mode if you can on a Mac, and maybe having another desktop and monitor for emergencies. I would have made this a comment but I can't :P This isn't really an answer, just a suggestion. It would really be easier on another OS to do the stuff above.
Recently used 'Web Kiosk' software for exactly this purpose: https://www.macproline.com/webkiosk
It has a lot of options for locking down the machine, both in terms of web sites visited, and disabling key commands, preferences, switching apps, quitting apps, etc.
When searching for a solution for this, I was surprised how few options there were. That said, I would give this a look.

Way to make IE 10 open in IE8 mode

does anyone know how can i force IE 10 to open in IE8 browser mode. Is it possible, Change something in IE settings? Does IE have some kind of a config file what can define it? Or can i make some changes in REGEDIT to force it to open in IE8 mode?
If you want cross-browser testing, take a look here. This offers multiple browser testing without the need to have virtual machines etc.
If your specifically looking for IE, then take a look here.
EDIT: You can look at IE10 on Windows 7 Side-by-Side IE8 for the issue you have.

How to Enable ActiveX in Chrome?

I read that early builds of Chrome supported ActiveX, but was later restricted to certain MIME types (for support for say Windows Media Player). I then read Google was going to enable ActiveX strictly for the Korean market. How do I (re)enable this in Chrome?
Our web based product relies on ActiveX controls from 3rd parties to play custom video. This limits us to IE. We'd love to support Chrome also, but find it impossible w/o ActiveX support.
There is a proprietary plugin called "Neptune" which says that it will allow you to use IE Tab functionality in Chrome on Windows.
Meadroid do this because they have ActiveX controls which they have written and they want them to be able to work in any browser, and they explicitly mention Chrome in the list of supported browsers for enabling ActiveX with this.
There is also a modified version of Chrome, called ChromePlus, which includes IETab, among other extra features.
I've not used either of these personally, but they look like they'll do what you want. I'd be interested to hear if they work out for you, as I know of other people who want to be able to use IEtab in Chrome :)
anyone who says activex is less secure then NPAPI is crazy. They both allow the exact same access. Yes I've written both. The only reason people think activeX is insecure is because 10+ years ago IE had default settings that allowed a remote site to auto download the plugin.
maybe this new Chrome extension helps:
ActiveX for Chrome
https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/lgllffgicojgllpmdbemgglaponefajn/
This could be pretty ugly, but doesn't Chrome use the NPAPI for plugins like Safari? In that case, you could write a wrapper plugin with the NPAPI that made the appropriate ActiveX creation and calls to run the plugin. If you do a lot of scripting against those plugins, you might have to be a bit of work to proxy those calls through to the wrapped ActiveX control.
I'm not an expert but it sounds to me that this is something you could only do if you built the browser yourself - ie, not something done in a web page. I'm not sure that the sources for Chrome are publicly available (I think they are though), but the sources are what you'd probably need to change for this.
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Does_Google_Chrome_support_ActiveX
Google Chrome comes with an ActiveX
shim, as part of its default plugin
array. So Google Chrome features at
least partial support for ActiveX
controls (as do many non-Internet
Explorer browsers). I can't find
information as to whether or not this
includes support for ActiveX security
certificates or the like, nor if/where
such plugins can be controlled, within
the browser.
..... Note that to enable the plug-in
you must run Chrome with the following
switch " --allow-all-activex" So in
shortcut that is used to start up
Chrome, add this after "Chrome.exe"
I downloaded this "IE Tab Multi" from Chrome. It works good! http://iblogbox.com/chrome/ietab/alert.php

Pasting an image from clipboard to a website

I need to come up with a solution for users to be able to paste an image on to a website, then upload that image on to the web server. I'm not sure what the right solution for this - I am pretty sure javascript is out of the question because I don't think it can handle binary clipboard data (or any clipboard data?)
So, I'm not sure which way to go with this. Is this something possible with a Java applet? Or maybe a Flash SWF? Any other alternatives?
Or this free one (via another StackOverflow question)
You can use pure JavaScript for this, assuming either Chrome or Chrome Frame. Since most other plugins or applets require a specific install action you might as well require installing Chrome Frame as that will fix quite a bit more than just pasting events.
View a live demo of a jQuery plugin that cleanly wraps the HTML Clipboard API. This demo requires the Chrome browser.
Rad Upload (java applet). It's not free, but it is relatively cheap.
