I am new to development of firefox tools.
Need to implement a text box similar to Google search box shown in the toolbar in my firefox bowser...and when i click enter...the URL
http://<URL>/
should be appended with the value that i have entered in text box and open the URL in new tab...
The problem is i am not able to find good resource to do the same.
I have tired to implement add-on but i guess that is not required.
Can you please help me on the same?
Please refer to the Pic below for more info...once the user enter the BUG ID then the new tab should open with the appended URL i.e the URL will be
http://<URL>/bugid

I uploaded some images to a public folder in my Google Drive and would like to display them in a Fusiontable. I defined a column "link" as "Four line image" and store a link to the image there in the following format (provided by #Mori)
https://drive.google.com/uc?id=FILE-ID
example: https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B6qZJQj7B-4ERS1KZ3p2SE9IbkU
I also tried the following format (provided by #niutech)
http://googledrive.com/host/<folderID>/<filename>
Unfortunately the result looks like this (screenshot 1)
Only after right click onto the image placeholder and selecting "View image", the image is displayed in a separate window. Now going back to the fusiontable the image appears correctly, see screenshot 2:
What could be the solution to this problem? I would like to see all images without need to right click first. Btw, I'm using Firefox.
EDIT: I now set the Fusiontable to "visible to anybody with link" and tested with Google Chrome and Opera. There it works fine. Firefox still does not work. Seems to be a browser issue...

After many attempts I was only able to upload my own images to fusion tables via Dropbox and not Drive. I could not find a way to automate this, so for many images it might be better to go to another visualization platform.
Upload the images to your personal Dropbox (mine were .png)
For each image:
Click on Share -> Create a Link -> Copy link.
Open the 'shareable link' in a new tab. It might help to open the link in a private browser to check that anyone not logged in to Dropbox can view the image. Then right click on your image and go to 'Copy Image Location' (Firefox) or 'Copy Image Address' (Chrome). You will notice if you put this link in a new tab it will prompt you to automatically start downloading the image.
Paste this image location URL into the appropriate fusion table cell and make sure the column attribute is defined as e.g. "Four line image" and not 'URL'.
You almost had the correct answer. You have to change your picture's URL from the one for viewing the picture, to a direct URL for download.
See https://www.labnol.org/internet/direct-links-for-google-drive/28356/ for details.
I managed to do this in a calculated column (I use google form to gather info, then google spreadsheet and than synchronized fusion table). I changed the URL with spreadsheet formula:
=CONCAT("https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=",right(left('URL',(len('URL')-17)),len('URL')-49))
Where 'URL' is the URL for viewing your picture in the browser.
Hope it helps anyone else!
I want to customize the ckeditor image plugin. I already added two radio boxes under URL text field, one is the normal mode while for the second one I have shown a page in iframe in the preview area. In the page we have list of image links. Now I have difficulty to click on any link and send that link to the URL text field. Actually I want to access the URL field in the page shown in the iframe.
Please help me for it, or suggest me a better solution to tackle this situation.
I found the way to do the above job.
First I changed the radio boxes into brows button. On the button click event a light box opens. When clicking in a link in the light box the link value will be saved to java script COOKIE variable and on the light box close event the value from the COOKIE is retrieved and assigned to the text field with the following code.
srcVal = getCookie('srcVal'); dialog.setValueOf('info','src',srcVal);
This is a real 2%er but here goes, I have created a winform in VS2010 with Gecko 2.0.1-0.10 (latest release) webbrowser control, I am using a touch screen to navigate. Sometimes when clicking a hyperlink it will select text rather than navigate, on the DomMouseUp event I want to check to see if there is selected text, if so I want to see if it is a hyperlink and if it is, where that hyperlink goes to. I had a mess around with GeckoSelection but nothing looked obvious. I am looking for a way to see if what is selected within the web browser is a hyperlink, any thoughts?
I've worked it out : for anyone interested in such things, use DomFocus on the gecko control:
m_strInnerHtml = geckSel.ActiveElement.Parent.InnerHtml.ToString();
That will give you the innerhtml of the selected item, from here you can extract the href tag and get the url, navigate to it, hey presto :)
Update: An even better solution is to use (in DomFocus again)
m_strInnerHtml = geckoWebBrowser.Document.ActiveElement.GetAttribute("href");
This will return the actual hyperlink address, one thing to watch out for however is if you're on google for example and select the "Advertising" hyperlink at the bottom of the page, it may return "/advertisingpage/" which must be appended to the original url. Clicking a hyperlink away from google will return the full address however.
Very good behavior gives this call:
m_strInnerHtml = geckoWebBrowser1.Url.AbsoluteUri()
I'm writing an editor that is updating a WYSIWYG view in the browser. As this update can happen often i don't want to open the page in a new tab. Is there any way other then using the ugly way of emitting keystrokes to enter the Open URL command and entering the URL (I'm doing this right now, but it's buggy if the user interacts with the system in the meantime).
I tag this as firefox but comments on other browsers are welcome.
Script given below changes location without opening new tab. I think it would be helpful.
TYPE IN ADDRESS BAR:
javascript:window.location.href = "http://www.yahoo.com";
