CK Editor and Firefox 33 conflict - firefox

Today, I open my website which use CKEditor.
I encounter a strange behavior. In any page that has CKEditor, jquery click event listener seems to not work.
This is odd. I have try to open the same website in chrome and firefox 32 with no problem.
I even try to visit CKEditor website to make sure that this problem is not caused by my script.
And I can ensure that the problem is occurred exactly as in my website. CKEditor has javascript based menu, if you click "Full featured" link, the element on the left-side should be changed with respective element. But it doesn't response as it should be. (Just for the record, this website also works fine in chrome and firefox 32)
I have also use firebug to find any helping-error-message, but I can't find any error message there.
I am sure this must be firefox's bug. Hopefully they will fix this in firefox 34.
However, does anybody experience the same problem? Is there any workaround for this?
UPDATE : Seems that this problem is caused by plugin (firePHP or fireQuery). Look at the comments for more information.

console.log not showing in my firebug

In jsfiddle.net, I have this simple code:
console.log('yep');
alert('hello');
I can see the alert window but nothing in my firebug console.
Is there a reason why ?
I'm encountering it as well on my FF15.
In my case, it is caused by the built-in "web console" in "web developer"
Ctrl+Shift+K
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Web_Console
Beginning with Firefox 4, the old Error Console has been deprecated in favor of the new, improved Web Console. The Web Console is something of a heads-up display for the web, letting you view error messages and other logged information. In addition, there are methods you can call to output information to the console, making it a useful debugging aid, and you can evaluate JavaScript on the fly.
I'm new to using console.log (I used to use alert()s) and was wondering why I couldn't see console.log messages in Firebug too.
After a several minutes of web searching I realised the console mode was set to 'Debug Info'. Clicking the 'All' button made all my messages appear.
The OP didn't make this particular mistake, admittedly. It's a rookie error, but still non-obvious enough (I haven't used Firebug for a while) to bring me here before I managed to figure it out.
This issue has been fixed in Firebug 1.11.0a5. More info is here
I just had the same issue with firefox 29 Beta (and Australis) Just restart the browser :)
EDIT : seems like its it's not true : on the first page load, it display the log, on the others not (need to open the page in a new tab). Apparently it's queryLoader2 jQuery plugin

WYSIWYG buttons don't show in IE for CKEditor

I have a fresh installation of Liferay on Tomcat and in IE7 it doesn't show the buttons for visual editing in the editor when I try to edit content.
It works on in Firefox or Chrome.
Does anyone have an idea why would that happen? I am not sure where to dig, I don't see javascript exceptions and it doesn't look like the buttons are even populated in IE. It is hard to debug IE problems since I don't have a tool like Firebug there.
I downloaded the 6.1 and still have the same problem, adding the URLs of what I see. Looks like IE only has the text box and in the DOM I don't see the same things that I see in FF.

Update on this:
I checked with some people in our organization and they have the buttons on their browser.
I checked the version of the IE browser and it's the same down to the last digit. Properties are the same as well. The only difference is that I have some plugins installed that the other browser doesn't. I tried disabling all the plugins but it didn't help.
The suspect plugin is Google Chrome Frame (ChromeFrame BHO). Can someone please try to add this plugin and see if it messes things up? The disabling it doesn't help.
Liferay CE 6.0 contains few bugs within the WYSIWYG editor integration.
One issue with IE is LPS-16004 (solution included). This might be the same problem as you are experiencing.
I remember we had also problem with javascript race condition in editor initialization, which sometimes loads the editor incorrectly.
But I strongly suggest you to move to Liferay CE 6.1 as it is much more stable.
Ok, I finally figured it out, so if someone has the same problem, here is the reason - we have Google Chrome Frame plugin installed in our organization, but it only works on white-listed domain names. In this case the domain the site was on wasn't whitelisted, but the portal looked at the agent string and saw chromeframe there and assumed it can use it as chrome browser, which broke things.
Right now I will try to white-list the domain and see if it works. Another solution would be to try and find a place where we look for the agent string and fix it there, not sure where this place is.

Using Themeroller Bookmarklet

I want to make my jQuery-UI-using webpage themeable with the Themeroller Firefox bookmarklet. When I open the bookmarklet on the themeroller demopage, everything changes like expected. On my own page, or on other example pages only the URL changes but the style isn't applied.
I need the developer tool, to find the final style of jQuery-UI in my existing webpage. How can I get that working?
I used Firefox and I put my page on a webserver, so no Firefox doesn't apply local security restrictions.
I had the same issue. This link solved my problem.
To summarize: something is not playing nice with versions of FF above version 10.
To fix: right-click your bookmark for "ThemeRoller Dev Tool", go to 'Properties'.
Change 'Location:' to this -->
javascript:(function(){if(!/Firefox[\/\s](\d+\.\d+)/.test(navigator.userAgent)){alert("Sorry,%20due%20to%20security%20restrictions,%20this%20tool%20only%20works%20in%20Firefox");return%20false}else{if(window.jquitr){jquitr.addThemeRoller()}else{jquitr={};jquitr.s=document.createElement("script");jquitr.s.src="http://jqueryui.com/themeroller/developertool/developertool.js.php";document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(jquitr.s);var%20a=function(){jquitr.reloadCSS=function(){var%20c=jquitr.getHash(),b;if(jquitr.trString!==c&&c!==""){jquitr.trString=c;b='<link%20href="http://jqueryui.com/themeroller/css/parseTheme.css.php?'+c+'"%20type="text/css"%20rel="Stylesheet"%20/>';if($("link[href*='parseTheme.css.php'],%20link[href='ui.theme.css']").size()>0){$("link[href*='parseTheme.css.php']:last,%20link[href='ui.theme.css']:last").eq(0).after(b)}else{$("head").append(b)}if($("link[href*='parseTheme.css.php']").size()>3){$("link[href*='parseTheme.css.php']:first").remove()}}window.setTimeout(jquitr.reloadCSS,1000)};jquitr.reloadCSS()};window.setTimeout(a,1100)}}})();
Then 'Save'. This solved it for me.

Why is my firefox extension messing with another one's buttons?

I wrote a firefox extension which simply re-formats a page using some JQuery. But, it's interfering with another extension that places a button on the header panel of the browser. Now that button doesn't display. Can some one point me in the right direction as to when this happens. This is my first fire-fox extension.
Update:
The problem is actually being caused by the JQuery source file.
This is a known issue when using JQuery in the overlay.
Your update doesn't include valid chrome.manifest lines. Also, your original style line was totally wrong, and likely the cause of your problem. You should review this page which specifies the syntax to see how this should have been done.

Why doesn't Visual Studio always render my page correctly when debugging locally in fire fox 2.0x?

When I debug locally in fire fox 2.0x many times my page won't have the styles added properly or the page will not completely render (the end is seemingly cut off). Sometimes it takes multiple refreshes or shift-refreshes to fix this. Is this a common issue or is it just me? Any solutions?
I want to add that this is happening in fire fox 3.x to me as well. I add my javascript to the pages dynamically and this might be part of the issue. This is when I am working locally with Visual Studio.
Update: This does happen in IE but it happens much more often in Fire Fox. The issue seems to be only javascript and CSS files not loading. For example I get jQuery is not defined, $ is not defined etc. I don't think I have local IIS to test this on but from the server it always works perfectly. Fire Bug shows all my css and javascript files to be requested and received.
This could be a problem with IPv6 and DNS of the Firefox browser. This issue is known to slow down Firefox on localhost:SOMEPORT. The effect would be that some external files won't load (css, js etc.) resulting in a partially rendered page.
You can solve this issue by simply deactivating IPv6 in Firefox:
Insert about:config in the Firefox address bar
Set network.dns.disableIPv6 to true or alternatively add localhost to network.dns.ipv4OnlyDomains
A different way to fix this issue, is to a remove the ipv6 address from your hosts file this way: open the file
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
(with administrator privileges) and remove (or comment out #):
:: localhost
Make sure that you narrow the scope of the problem. Does the problem just happen when debugging from VS or does it also happen with local IIS? With server-based IIS? Does it happen to other developers in your company? Is it really just FireFox or does it happen to Chrome, Opera, IE, etc?
Assuming that you've already worked that all out, I would suggest installing a FireFox plug-in called "Tamper Data". Open that and refresh the page. You'll see a record of every connection from the browser to the server (for each html file, image, css file, etc). Look to see if any of the them are very slow or not completing (perhaps one of those files is taking a long time and FF is waiting for it to finish before loading other important files).
Assuming that all of the files correctly loads, you should consider checking that the syntax is valid (maybe there is some unclosed tag or quotation mark that is causing FF confusion). I use a plugin called "Web Developer", but there are a lot of other options out there.
You could also use a plugin called FireBug to view the HTML behind various parts of the page to see if there are any noticeable problems. You start FireBug, go to the HTML tab, click Inpsect, and move your mouse over something on the page, and it will show you the HTML behind it.
One thing to do would be to check the source of the page(s) in question. My guess would be that the local server that VS runs is not giving you the entire source of the page. One way to verify this would be to run exactly the same code in the debug environment, as well as from a "real" server like IIS 6. If the same behavior is seen on loading the page from both servers, as well as insuring that the full page source is being recieved by the browser(s), then it is a bug in Firefox and should be reported. This is especially true if other browsers, ie. IE, Chrome, Safari, Opera, render the page fully.
Are you comparing what you see in Firefox to what is displayed in the Visual Studio designer? If this is the case, then they are using 2 different methods to render the html and may not display the same.
Anything further on this folks?
I have examined the traffic using Firebug and it appears that when veiwing the response from the request for a style sheet, the response is just blank. After refreshing (sometimes multiple times) the age displays correctly and the response information contains the style sheet. I have not seen this in any other browser and it only occurs when viewing the app from Visual Studio.
2! Recently i had the same problem. Im using MVC 1.0 and I added a new stylesheet into Views/Share folder. And when i run the project, the page didnt render along with the css. If your web project is a MVC one so try put the css file into the Content folder.
Hope this help.
HaiVu.Doan.
In case anyone else finds this with newer versions of Visual Studio, I have to run VS as Administrator. This is something I keep forgetting to do, but once I right clicked on Run as Administrator when opening VS, the problem went away.
Initial problem, I could not get CSS to render when running a project from VS 2012 using Firefox as the browser. (IE worked just fine, btw.) The content would be there, but no CSS. This was the first post I found when I typed in my question.
