How to create a screen sharing extension in Mozilla Firefox - firefox

I am actually creating an extension that capture your screen video. I have found some examples that create screen sharing extension in firefox using WebRTC. But, its really hard to implement it. Does anyone have any project that share screen.
Thanks,

Just an update: Firefox from version 52 doesn't require an extension for the screen sharing.
The Screensharing whitelist is no longer needed to share your screen
or windows starting Firefox 52 (April). Please let us know if you find
any problems!
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Screensharing

Have a look at getScreenMedia there is a Firefox Extension Sample. There is also source code from webrtc-experiment.
Just a quick gotcha: As far as I know you have to whitelist your domain in about://config, or request be on the whitelist (like talky.io).

How to open webpage in Reader mode(Chrome) using UIPAth

Using UIpath trying to open an URL. I am able to do it. But the requirement is i want to open it in reader mode. How can i do that?
Browser i am using is Chrome.
I have enabled the Reader mode flag. I am able to manually open the reader mode.
Thanks in advance.
This is a tricky question to answer. I assume that reader mode is the google chrome extension Reader Mode. I can think of two potential solutions:
You can use the start process activity and pass the app argument --load-extension. This may or may not work depending on the specific behavior of the chrome extension.
You could use the click image activity and navigate the google chrome user interface as you normally would to enable the reader mode. This ensures that you wouldn't need html/css anchors.
Not sure if this helps any, but hopefully you figure your problem out soon!
Finally found the solution. I followed the extension method you suggested. I added the reader mode extension and pinned it near the address bar. So i was able to select it easily once the page is loaded. Thank You so much #churchill291

disabling (or fixing) ReadCube WebReader on Firefox

Mac OSX 10.11.2, Firefox 45.0.1
I'm trying to access articles through Wiley publishers website (onlinelibrary.wiley.com) and the PDF viewing function forces me to use ReadCube Webreader, which fails every time to load my article. I also cannot download the article. I have full permissions to view the article, but everything but the first page is blurred out. I just want to use Adobe PDF Reader like I used to, but I cannot figure out how to disable ReadCube. I have toggle this setting https://www.readcube.com/epdf_settings, cleared my cookies, turned off my addblocker, but nothing works! If I use Safari, which I really don't want to do, it works just brilliantly. Please help.
My add-on HTTPS Everywhere was interfering. It can be disabled by clicking the HTTPS Everywhere Icon in the browser window, and selecting the red-highlighted processes that are being encrypted by clicking on it. This is a bad answer to my question, because I'm not entirely sure how this has fixed the problem, but it has worked.

Can I use Firefox developer toolbar commands in my addon?

I am developing a Firefox addon for making fullpage screenshots of web pages. I know that several good addons that do this are already available, but we have some specific needs so I thought I would try to make my own.
I read that I can do screenshot --fullpage in the Firefox Developer Toolbar. This seems to works well. Can I also call this command from within my addon? If so, how would I go about that?

Is it possible to put Google Chrome into a "extension free" mode?

Is there a way to temporary deactivate all (or selected) Google Chrome extensions? This would be handy when I debug pages, since some extensions (eg. AdBlock, Clickable Links etc) modify the content of web pages.
Also sometimes I want to monitor how a page loads via the Chrome developer tool's timeline. But since extension-activity also is recorded it can get a bit messy.
Thank you!

Sorry guys. I should have done some better research before posting here. I searched in chrome web store and found this extension, which seems to do the thing. Sorry for bothering you.
This solution was discarded since a better suggestion was given (see accepted answer).

ObjectiveC/Cocoa Screencapture/Crosshead mouse pointer selector help

I want to write a basic app so I can upload some images to my personal server and as the CMD+Shift+4 Screen capture method apple offers doesn't let you upload your images I thought I would start from scratch... I've looked around quite a lot on how to make something what lets me grab a selection of my screen (like the crosshair apple offer) and can't find any samples/pointers however I've seen other tools such as gyazo use the exact same capture system apple offer :S... Is it some sort of framework I can access in Xcode or something?
If anyone knows how its done I would be very grateful.
Thanks
Liam
You can just run screencapture(1) and capture to a temporary file location which your app then reads.
