with my extension i want to "block" some websites url and redirect to one url that i want whenever a user tries to join the blocked url.
Lets say that i want to "ban" facebook.com and if someone tries to go to facebook.com ... firefox addon should redirect him to www.google.com.
i have this code here
===============================================================================
const {classes: Cc, interfaces: Ci, utils: Cu, results: Cr} = Components;
Cu.import('resource://gre/modules/Services.jsm');
var urls_block = [ //if urls ontain any of these elements they will be blocked or redirected, your choice based on code in observer line 17
'www.facebook.com'
];
var redir_obj = {
'www.google.com': 'data:text,' + escape('url_blocked that would have went to google')
}
var observers = {
'http-on-modify-request': {
observe: function (aSubject, aTopic, aData) {
console.info('http-on-modify-request: aSubject = ' + aSubject + ' | aTopic = ' + aTopic + ' | aData = ' + aData);
var httpChannel = aSubject.QueryInterface(Ci.nsIHttpChannel);
var requestUrl = httpChannel.URI.spec.toLowerCase();
for (var i=0; i<urls_block.length; i++) {
if (requestUrl.indexOf(urls_block[i]) > -1) {
//httpChannel.cancel(Cr.NS_BINDING_ABORTED); //this aborts the load
httpChannel.redirectTo(Services.io.newURI(redir_obj[urls_block[i]], null, null)); //can redirect with this line, if dont want to redirect and just block, then uncomment this line and comment out line above (line 17)
break;
}
}
},
reg: function () {
Services.obs.addObserver(observers['http-on-modify-request'], 'http-on-modify-request', false);
},
unreg: function () {
Services.obs.removeObserver(observers['http-on-modify-request'], 'http-on-modify-request');
}
}
};
function install() {}
function uninstall() {}
function startup() {
for (var o in observers) {
observers[o].reg();
}
}
function shutdown(aData, aReason) {
if (aReason == APP_SHUTDOWN) return;
for (var o in observers) {
observers[o].unreg();
}
}
==================================================================
but i dont know how to make it work or even if its the correct code to redirect "facebook" to "google"
Could someone help me with this to show me how can i pack it as a firefox extension???
Thanks a lot for your time reading.

Why is this JavaScript page redirect so slow?

I am trying to download a file with CasperJS. If using browser, the download begins when user clicks a button and the response headers look like this:
I have tried these two methods with no luck:
1) https://stackoverflow.com/a/26334034
With this approach, the code block inside the if-statement is never executed. If I remove the condition, a bunch of resources are being saved, such as css files and so on. So the event listener is working, but for some reason not triggering when I use CasperJs click function to click the button that should start the download.
2) https://stackoverflow.com/a/30122021/692695
File.csv is saved but it's the web sites sourcecode, not the csv-file I get when I click the button on the website.
All of my code:
'use strict';
var utils = require('utils');

Array.prototype.forEach.call(select.children, function(opt, i){

select.selectedIndex = i;
found = true;
}
});
// dispatch change event in case there is some kind of validation
var evt = document.createEvent("UIEvents"); // or "HTMLEvents"

select.dispatchEvent(evt);

And my package.json:

},
"pre-commit": ["test"],
"dependencies": {
"jquery": "^3.3.1"
},
"devDependencies": {
"pre-commit": "^1.2.2"
}
}
Explanation of the code:
First visit this page: http://pxnet2.stat.fi/PXWeb/pxweb/fi/StatFin/StatFin__tym__tyti/statfin_tyti_pxt_001.px/?rxid=bd4d5dc1-358d-407e-ae47-13266b79bfd0
There, dynamically pick a specified link and move there.
Select all data by clicking the V-shapen icon (look at the attached screenshot) and then select the format of the file.
I've faced this issue earlier with all versions except phantomjs 2.0.0. I also tried the solutions you shared from SO a year ago and they didn't work as well.
I'm going to assume you're using a phantomjs version other than 2.0.0.
Here's the link to download it
https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/
With it, you will have access to onFileDownload method which you can override and use like below
casper.page.onFileDownload = function(status){
console.log('onFileDownload(' + status + ')');
return "newfile.csv";
};
onFileDownload will be called whenever a file is downloaded as a result of clicking a button (ajax) or as a result of sequential get/post requests.
All you have to do is, trigger the click on the button/link that will initiate download.
Note : My solution is assuming that everything else (site is not blocking phantomjs and your request headers/cookies are as expected)
How can I check until an element is clickable using nightwatch js? I want to click on an element but when I run nightwatch, selenium does not click on the element because it is not clickable yet.
Something like this should work. Let me know if you have questions
var util = require('util');
var events = require('events');
/*
* This custom command allows us to locate an HTML element on the page and then wait until the element is both visible
* and does not have a "disabled" state. It rechecks the element state every 500ms until either it evaluates to true or
* it reaches maxTimeInMilliseconds (which fails the test). Nightwatch uses the Node.js EventEmitter pattern to handle
* asynchronous code so this command is also an EventEmitter.
*/
function WaitUntilElementIsClickable() {
events.EventEmitter.call(this);
this.startTimeInMilliseconds = null;
}
util.inherits(WaitUntilElementIsClickable, events.EventEmitter);
WaitUntilElementIsClickable.prototype.command = function (element, timeoutInMilliseconds) {
this.startTimeInMilliseconds = new Date().getTime();
var self = this;
var message;
if (typeof timeoutInMilliseconds !== 'number') {
timeoutInMilliseconds = this.api.globals.waitForConditionTimeout;
}
this.check(element, function (result, loadedTimeInMilliseconds) {
if (result) {
message = '#' + element + ' was clickable after ' + (loadedTimeInMilliseconds - self.startTimeInMilliseconds) + ' ms.';
} else {
message = '#' + element + ' was still not clickable after ' + timeoutInMilliseconds + ' ms.';
}
self.client.assertion(result, 'not visible or disabled', 'visible and not disabled', message, true);
self.emit('complete');
}, timeoutInMilliseconds);
return this;
};
WaitUntilElementIsClickable.prototype.check = function (element, callback, maxTimeInMilliseconds) {
var self = this;
var promises =[];
promises.push(new Promise(function(resolve) {
self.api.isVisible(element, function(result) {
resolve(result.status === 0 && result.value === true);
});
}));
promises.push(new Promise(function(resolve) {
self.api.getAttribute(element, 'disabled', function (result) {
resolve(result.status === 0 && result.value === null);
});
}));
Promise.all(promises)
.then(function(results) {
var now = new Date().getTime();
const visibleAndNotDisabled = !!results[0] && !!results[1];
if (visibleAndNotDisabled) {
callback(true, now);
} else if (now - self.startTimeInMilliseconds < maxTimeInMilliseconds) {
setTimeout(function () {
self.check(element, callback, maxTimeInMilliseconds);
}, 500);
} else {
callback(false);
}
})
.catch(function(error) {
setTimeout(function () {
self.check(element, callback, maxTimeInMilliseconds);
}, 500);
});
};
module.exports = WaitUntilElementIsClickable;
Add this code as a file to your commands folder. It should be called waitUntilElementIsClickable.js or whatever you want your command to be.
Usage is:
browser.waitUntilElementIsClickable('.some.css');
You can also use page elements:
var page = browser.page.somePage();
page.waitUntilElementIsClickable('#someElement');
You can use waitForElementVisible() combined with the :enabled CSS pseudo-class.
For example, the following will wait up to 10 seconds for #element to become enabled, then click it (note that the test will fail if the element doesn't become enabled after 10 seconds):
browser
.waitForElementVisible('#element:enabled', 10000)
.click('#element');
Can you show an example element,usually there should be an attribute name "disabled" if the button is not clickable, this should work.
browser.assert.attributeEquals(yourCSS, 'disabled', true)
I'm unable to comment but there are a couple of issues with the code suggested by Alex R.
First, the code will not work with Firefox as geckodriver does not return a 'status'. So this:
resolve(result.status === 0 && result.value === true)
needs to be changed to this:
resolve(result.value === true).
Second, the line:
self.client.assertion(result, 'not visible or disabled', 'visible and not disabled', message, true);
doesn't work and needs to be commented out in
order to get the code to run.
I am trying to test this code here. This code "blocks" some URL if I try to join them.
//const {classes: Cc, interfaces: Ci, utils: Cu, results: Cr} = Components;
Cu.import('resource://gre/modules/Services.jsm');

In scratchpad of Firefox and I get this error:
/*
Exception: ReferenceError: Cu is not defined
#Scratchpad/1:2:1
*/
NO ERROR ON CONSOLE.
Does anyone have any idea what is this error??
I've read that Firefox doesn't go well with constants but this code sometimes works sometimes not.
Also can someone help me fixing it, so it can work all the time?
There are multiple problems. First, in order for Components to be defined, you need to have the scratchpad running in the browser context. To do this go to the Developer Tool Settings and check the box that is "Enable chrome and add-on debugging". Restart Firefox, just to be sure that the scratchpad is in the browser context.
Once that is done, the following code will work:
// -sp-context: browser
//The above line tells scratchpad to run this in the browser context.
//In the scratchpad browser context some of these are already defined, so we check first:
if(typeof Cc === "undefined") {
const Cc = Components.classes;
}
if(typeof Ci === "undefined") {
const Ci = Components.interfaces;
}
if(typeof Cu === "undefined") {
const Cu = Components.utils;
}
if(typeof Cr === "undefined") {
const Cr = Components.results;
}
//In your own add-on you will need to define them all:
//const {classes: Cc, interfaces: Ci, utils: Cu, results: Cr} = Components;
Cu.import('resource://gre/modules/Services.jsm');
var urlsBlock = [

I had this problem, It is so easy, it is enough to change your environment of scratchpad from Content to Browser
The code works as is except for shutdown but thats obvious because its from scratchpad scope. This code is designed ot run form bootstrap scope. But to make it run form scratchpad you comment out first line and just run startup. then to shutdown just run the loop from within shutdown as APP_SHUTDOWN is not defined. <<< for scrathcpad scope, which is for testing purposes only. Once you want to deploy it use the uncommented line 1 code and no need to run startup or shutodwn as they are bootstrap entry and exit functions so they automatically get called. See the youtube video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxt8lJ64nVw
In the following piece of JavaScript code, i'm executing GetData.php using AJAX. However, when i remove the comments to see the request object's state property, it turns up as undefined, although the PHP script is getting executed properly and my page is changing as i want it to. But i still need the state property. Any clue on what's going on here ?
function refreshPage()
{
var curr = document.getElementById('list').value;
var opts = document.getElementById('list').options;
for(var i=0;i<opts.length;i++)
document.getElementById('list').remove(opts[i]);
var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.onreadystatechange=
function()
{
if(request.readyState == 4)
{
//alert(request.state);
//if(request.state == 200)
{
fillOptions();
var exists = checkOption(curr);
var opts = document.getElementById('list').options;
if(exists == true)
{
for(var i=0;i<opts.length;i++)
if(curr == opts[i])
{
opts[i].selected = true;
break;
}
}
else
{
opts[0].selected = true;
}
refreshData();
}
/*else
{
alert(request.responseText);
//document.close();
}*/
}
}
request.open("GET","GetData.php?Address=" + address + "&Port=" + port,true);
request.send();
}
Do you mean request.status not request.state?
Try changing it to the .status and it should work just fine :)

// Remove the progressListerner
gBrowser.removeProgressListener(quickfilter_urlBarListener);
}
};
// window.addEventListener("load", function () { TheGreatTest1.onFirefoxLoad(); }, false);
// this function is Called on window Onload event
window.addEventListener("load", function(e) {
quickfilter_extension.init();
}, false);
window.addEventListener("unload", function(e) {
quickfilter_extension.uninit();
}, false);
Can you tell me how to squash that error please?
It looks like the offending line is setTimeout("quickfilter_mafiaafire.redirectToAnotherUrl()",1500);
The setTimeout function can take a string (which then essentially gets eval'd) or a function (which gets called). Using a string is not recommended, for all the same reasons that using eval is not recommended. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.setTimeout
In this case, the simplest fix would be to change it to setTimeout(function() { quickfilter_mafiaafire.redirectToAnotherUrl(); },1500);
