I am creating an add-on for mozilla firefox using Add-on SDK. I have gone through https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/SDK regarding basics. However, I am now facing an issue with buttons. I want a button to be attached to the navigation toolbar. When I run the main.js file with "cfx run" the button shows up where it should until that firefox window is closed. If I create a .xpi file and open it in firefox it shows the button until we restart the browser. The bottom line is that add-on button vanishes after browser restart. Please, help me regarding this. Thanks in advance. The code is same as given in the mozilla developer tutorials.
Are there any errors? Can you show us some code so we can get a better idea of what you're doing?
To debug this sorts of initialization problems try this:
start the browser
open the browser console, then hit 'clear' to remove existing log entries so you can easily see which ones are caused by the add-on
install the add-on - any errors?
open the add-on manager, disable the add-on, then enable it - any errors?
restart the browser with the add-on installed, then open the browser console. any errors?
Can you reproduce this issue with a simple example add-on, for example this one?

I am working on Google Cloud Platform to develop a project in API.AI, I have an integration (in API.AI) with Google Actions (for Google Home or Google Assistant), they provide me to see my progress as real time in web-simulator, that you can find here:
https://developers.google.com/actions/tools/web-simulator
I am trying to START the web-simulator clicking on START button, then I get a window pop-up but after open, it closes, I try and try again but I obtain the same result, I cannot open the web-simulator. I have allowed the popup windows in my browser.
Of course I have completed all steps to start web-simulator...
I don't know what is happening. Someone can help me? Thank you, have a good day.
First, are you using a compatible browser? Try it in Chrome if you're
not already using it, as Chrome is a Google product, and so is the
web simulator.
Next, are you using any Ad-Blockers or
Script-Blockers like NoScript? If so, try disabling them, as they
could interfere with the operation of the tool.
If it still doesn't work, try going to an Incognito Windows by pressing the
three dots button and opening a New Incognito Window. Go to the page, and log
in. This will ensure that no cookies are interfering.
At this point, if you're still having issues, try a different browser.
(Either Firefox or Opera)
Is there any way how to enable opening of devtools on all new tabs? I'd like to have devtools opened to be able to comfortably debug popup windows.
Dmitry Kulikov has developed a plugin for Firefox that does exactly this. You can find it here: https://github.com/dmitry-kulikov/firefox-devtools-auto-open
and can be installed from the firefox add-on store here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/devtools-auto-open
From my experience it does not bind to the new tab from the start. As such you might miss some network entries. I expect this is due to this being an add-on and not natively implemented.
Chrome added the option to "Auto-open DevTools for popups" in early 2016. I'm seeing the option in Chrome 51.
Open DevTools Hit F1 to open settings Scroll all the way to the bottom, and the option is under "DevTools"
Not sure about Firefox at the moment, but I could not find anything that could lead to a positive response.
I am using Debian 7 and Chromium browser.
I'm setting up OAuth authentication via google developer console, but for some reason when I enter https://console.developers.google.com, browser starts loading the page, saying "Waiting for console.developers.google.com" and is stuck forever.
Once in ~7 times it eventually loads the page, but then when I click on any tab, it freezes again.
Anyone experienced something like that?
P.S. On Windows everything's fine.
P.P.S The problem is specific for Chromium browser. Chromium also glitches with google+ notifications - they won't load.
you can try loading Google developer console in privacy mode, meaning opening the console from https://cloud.google.com/ in an incognito window.
"If it works there, it means one of your extensions is causing the security problem and you should remove it." as it explained on the Google Chome Help page :'Fix connection errors.' (Your connection is not private > Tip 2: Try opening the page in incognito mode.)
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?
If I go to this page: http://page2rss.com/page?url=www.google.com/ it will be asked to install an extension for Chrome. I wonder is there a similar way to do with Firefox?
This "notification bar" is part of the web page - the web page detects that the browser is Chrome and that the user doesn't have their extension installed, so it displays that message. The browser has nothing to do with that. The only "trick" here is making the Install button trigger the installation. This is of course possible with Firefox as well.
