I don't use Chrome browser. However, its very irritating that Brackets always shows live preview in Chrome. How can I set Mozilla Firefox Developer Edition as default for Bracket's live preview?
Currently using Brackets to Live Preview on Mozilla Firefox (not on the Developer Edition). I've tried Live Preview on Waterfox but I can't seem to remember if it worked or not.
Anyways, try this:
Open Brackets then on the upper part of the window, click the "Debug" button.
On its drop down menu click the "Open Preference File".
On my version of Brackets (which is the latest) it will open up two .json files: 1)defaultPreferences.json and 2) brackets.json. Just focus on "brackets.json". (If ever that the first .json file never pops-up, it's fine).
Then proceed to add this line inside the bracket:
"livedev.multibrowser": true,
I suggest putting this on top of the default lines. So for example, it would look like this:
{
"livedev.multibrowser": true,
"fonts.fontSize": "12px",
"fonts.fontFamily": "'SourceCodePro-Medium', ＭＳ ゴシック, 'MS Gothic', monospace",
"themes.theme": "dark-theme"
}
Hope this helps. If it doesn't, I suggest bringing it over to the devs.
Use File->Enable Experimental Live Preview. See documentation here https://github.com/adobe/brackets/issues/12260
Open Brackets.
On the top-bar menu click on "Debug".
On the drop down click on "Open Preferences File".
It will open two files "brackets.json" and "defaultPreferences.json".
Add the following line to the "brackets.json" file.
"livedev.multibrowser": true,
Save the changes and reload Brackets.
If you wish to make Firefox your default launch browser for brackets you will have to set it as the default browser in the browser setting and vice versa to other browsers.
Happy coding :-)
If you go to Debug, Open Preferences File, Brackets says that it's a read only file. Not sure if I'm supposed to believe that or not, but I decided to. I used Windows explorer and NotePad++ to open the file directly, which can be found here:
C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\Brackets
I added the text "livedev.multibrowser": true,, but then I had to restart Brackets for the change to take effect.
Make firefox as default browser
Open brackets goto Debug->Open Preference file
Then it will open two files ending with .json
goto brackets.json after { that is on first line write this
"livedev.multibrowser": true,
Then save it and then goto
file->enable experimental live preview
Check it
It will work...

I edited the settings file and there must have been a typo and now the app crashes on startup.
Online the documentation says the settings lives in $env:LocalAppData\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\settings.json
I can't figure out what that path means since it doesn't exist on the computer.
I re-installed the app to fix the problem then made sure to see what the actual path is.
It's located in : C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState
In the current version (1.7.1033.0), the application can open the JSON settings file for you via a button. Open the Settings tab, and the bottom left corner will have a button named "Open JSON file". Clicking that button will open a prompt asking with what application to open the file. That text editor can then tell you where the file is located.
If you open the terminal settings, it will open a text editor with the settings.json file. If your default editor is VS Code it will show you the path below the tabs on the top of the screen.
I'm unsure what other editors show you the path, but if it is crucial you can change your default text editor to Code.
There is still the option to open the JSON file through settings. In version 1.15.2875.0 you can still find the "Open JSON file" at the bottom left corner

This hint was given by a comment by user1340531:
Mine is at C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Terminal\settings.json
(or more generically: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Terminal\settings.json)
If it's not there, you should consider OP's answer or vyps comment which lets you find out one of these generic paths (they are equivalent):
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState
%LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState
$env:LocalAppData\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState
If you don't know what these paths mean, I'd recommend playing around with "Windows Run" (Win+R) and the explorer address bar.
I downloaded some freeware recently on my mac and now all my chrome urls have nova.rambler.ru prepended.
I've never had a virus or trojan on here so I have clue where to even start.
I've done search after search but everything is for PC or tries to sell you some sort of anti-virus software.
Any help would be awesome.
Your Chrome shortcut may have been affected. The second solution in this article mentioned how to fix it. Of course, ignore the downloads on this page.
Go to Google Chrome shortcut by right-clicking on its icon and selecting Properties.
Delete the additional argument at the end of the Target section.
This may do the trick.
Also, remember to check your Hosts file and make sure nothing suspicious is added there.
If the malware can't be removed, try some free anti-malware programs like Malwarebytes and AdwCleaner.
Hope this help.
first of all, install another Browser (Firefox)
export your Favourites if you are afraid to loose them ("Bookmarks", "Bookmarks Manager", "Organize" and choose "Export to HTML files")
exit from Chrome
go to the "Applications" folder and drag the Chrome icon into the Trashbox.
Then click on the "Go" button on the upper Finder tool bar, choose "Go to Folder" and write this command:
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome
select all the Chrome folders and all the Chrome files displayed (you are inside the Chrome folder that is still inside your OS) and drag all of them inside the Trashbox
Now Chrome is completely uninstalled from your OS. Now:
open Firefox, download the Chrome.dmg file from the Chrome official site and open it
drag the Install file inside the "Application" folder
launch Chrome
Now you have a "virgin" and "clear" Chrome installation. Then You have to:
sign in with your Google account
import your Bookmarks (but I think they will be already there after I have logged in)
uninstall Firefox if You want or use both of them if You want.
Probably the hosts file is affected. The shortcut should also be checked. I recommend you to scan your Mac with the latest version of Bitdefender antivirus (you will find a nice review, here). What is interesting is that Bitdefender also checks the hosts file (probably affceted) for any unusual change.
You can use it in "Trial" mode for 30 days, so you don't need to pay anything.
How to make the console of the Firefox DevTools multi-line?
I am aware of the Shift+Enter keyboard shortcut, which makes the command line go to the next line. Though like in Firebug, I want to vertically separate my console into command line and results part, but I can not find that functionality.
You can try the scratchpad. Go to Settings >> Available Toolbox Buttons and check the box for scratchpad. Refer the screenshot:
Once done, you'll have a notepad-like icon in your developer console navigation bar on the right side.... Click on it and it will open a scratch pad on which you can write code and execute...
Good Luck.
Firefox Developer version(v70) has multiline console which can be activated with ctrl+b (on linux at least, I havent found the shortcut in the offical docs). So this will soon show up in mainline FF i guess.
The command line the Firefox DevTools has a "smart multi-line" feature. That means it detects when a command is not finished and automatically inserts a line break, e.g. when you write document. and hit Enter. As you mentioned, you can also insert a line break manually by pressing Shift+Enter.
The DevTools also offer a completely separate command editor panel called Scratchpad, which you can enable via the settings (under the Default Developer Tools* section).
There is currently no multi-line editor as a side panel like Firebug's Command Editor, but it is already requested.
This is also described in the migration guide for Firebug users.
If Firefox is already displaying a local HTML file on my PC in a tab (address = "file:///...") and I modify the file using my favorite external editor, sending the file to FF to display the edits results in FF opening a new tab with a fresh instance of the original file, rather than searching to see if the file is already open it it and reusing that tab.
Sure, after editing the file I could reopen Firefox, navigate along the tab bar to the existing tab for that file and click Refresh. But IMO FF should be capable of doing this for me. In my work, by the time I need to refresh FF, the tab currently open is not likely to be that of the file I am editing, so I continually need to return to the original page to refresh it.
My efforts to work around this include:
1)In about:config, *setting browser.link.open_newwindow* from 3 to 1.
2)Running Firefox and passing it either the filename or the URL to the filename (as -url parameter).
3)Looking for a suitable add-on.
I am not fond of either Firebug or Aurora and prefer my own editor (EditPlus), which with I am far more comfortable, to edit web pages. However, its inbuilt browser does not display properly on my screen, so I need to view results of edits in Firefox.
Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem? I've searched here without success. The best solution would be another about:config setting. Thanks in advance.
(added) After all, in EditPlus, if I send it a file (in document-centric mode) which it has already opened, it simply changes focus to the existing tab. Why can't FF do this?
Thanks for suggesting the "Restore Open_External" add-on.
I tried it but it doesn't help me here. What it does is:
(quote)
"browser.link.open_external (Integer). This option specifies how Firefox opens links launched externally, e.g. e-mail or Microsoft Word. 3 options are available;
1. Selecting this option launches the link in a new tab in the most recently active Firefox window. This would be recommended if you don’t wish launching such links to affect your most recently active webpage and you aren’t concerned about the links content.
2. Selecting this option launches a new Firefox window to view the link. This would perhaps be the safest option to select (In that if you launch something questionable you may be able to end the process without affecting other windows).
3. Selecting this option (default) launches the link in the most recently active Firefox window/tab. This would be recommended if you aren’t concerned about launching links is the most recently active window/tab (You can always use the back button to view the previous page if you need)."

I'm sure many find this useful. Option 1 would have been fine for my purposes if it didn't insist on opening a duplicate tab. This add-on does nothing to prevent duplicate tabs being opened. So I began hunting for some add-on that might PREVENT a new tab being created in response to an external app sending a file to Firefox. Tab Mix Plus is supposed to do this, but I got lost somewhere in the maze of options. Then there is Prevent Duplicate Tabs, which creates a whitelist of all pages where duplicates are not permitted. This is far from automatic and seems pretty lame to me, as is Duplicate Tab Closer which doesn't prevent a duplicate tab from being created; instead, you have to press Ctrl+Alt+D to remove existing duplicate tabs - equally lame. deduplicate-tabs is similar, but offers a button to remove duplicate tabs.
Maybe I'm missing the point, but I can't see why anyone would want duplicate tabs of the same page, one a later version than the other. In fact, FF ought to be able to automatically refresh a tab when one reselects this, without having to resort to the "refresh" button. But that's just my rant.
If anyone reading this can think of a better way to integrate FF with an external app that modifies a web page, I'll be most grateful.
Install that addon:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/restore-open_external/
Go to addon preferences and set:
'in the current tab of current window'
Next time you open a new url from an external program it opens in the same tab.
You can also install the
duplicate tabs closer firefox addon which, as the name suggests, allows you to automatically close duplicate tabs
You can configure it to:
Close the older tabs and keep the new tab
Select the new tab
Try this addon.
I'm using it for development mode in Gatsby and Create React App.
For a couple of days I had noticed that the "script" tab of firebug had not been working. I ignored it because I wasn't working with javascript at the time.
Then the day came I was going to need that script panel, which still wasn't working, so I decided to reinstall firebug.
And now, when it's installed, it's just plain gone. No icon that I can see, neither on the bottom bar nor the top bar. No mention of it in the tool menu. The only evidence it's installed is an entry in the extensions list and a file in the extensions folder.
I've tried googling but have not fond anything that sounds like my issue.
I'm using firefox 6 on Windows XP.
For some reason, Firebug changed it's toolbar button (and removed the old one) from the old bug to a blue default cursor over a width, short box. Right-click on a toolbar, select Customize, and look for the icon next to the bug at the large picture of Firebug at top of this page:

This is the button you're looking for (download the raw file to view):

Try disabling any other extensions you have installed?
