Why am I seeing these characters instead of text in Firefox ?
It's a public site https://www.ratemds.com/
The reason why there those icons are not displayed is related to the FontAwesome that is used in CSS.
Firefox don't allow use of cross domain fonts.
Solution: change the location (hosting) for those external fonts.
It's possible your firefox isn't set up to let sites use their own custom fonts.
This can become more and more prevalent these days with sites using many custom fonts for button icons. (See: "font awesome", or "bootstrap glyphicons")
You can try opening a blank firefox -> Settings -> Content -> "Fonts & Colors" -> Advanced -> Then look for the checkbox that reads "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above."
Once you've check that box, Firefox will allow the sites you visit to use their own custom fonts. This should fix your issue, if it does not I did some additional research and was able to find a configuration setting that also causes this which I'll demonstrate as "Advanded Solution" below.
ADVANCED SOLUTION:
In the firefox address bar type "about:config" without the quotes
Select the button promising to be careful (and truly please do)
In the search type in "gfx" without the quotes
Find the item "gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled" without the quotes
If the status is set to "user set" and the value is "false" then follow step 6
Right click the line item, and select "toggle" from the drop down options
If the first fix didn't work, the second fix should work. Hope it helps!

After adding some in-line options as described in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/Inline_Options I'm curious if there is a way to hide only one such option from the addon preferences. I'd like to manage the preference contents through other chrome.
Ideally I'd like to keep the other preferences as they are without resorting to a custom preferences window.
Yes you set or remove the hidden attribute on the setting tag.
See here for examples of how to play with inline options dom on run time:

When browsing the Add-ons Manager, about:addons, in Firefox 4, the toolbars and urlbar are hidden when "Tabs on Top" has been set.
As I am writing an extension in bootstrapped method, how can I simulate that feature in my own created page?
It has already linked to a page on resource scheme (resource://app/page.html)
I am wonder if there are some "hidden" attributes that can easily do such kind of things.
Or, whether it must hide and show the urlbar and toolbars in listener of window-mediator.
Solutions in XUL method are also welcome :) , but it'd be better if it can easily handle in bootstrap.js. ;-)
Thank you for your help.
It looks like Firefox maintains a whitelist of URL locations that should hide the locationbar chrome. The whitelist is checked here:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/base/content/browser.js#4412
So, setting the "disablechrome" attribute on the window element should make the locationbar chrome go away. Removing the attribute will make the locationbar chrome come back.
Adding your location the the whitelist would probably be the easiest way to make this work:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/base/content/browser.js#4086
From your bootstrap.js code, once you get a window, try this:
if (window.XULBrowserWindow)
window.XULBrowserWindow.inContentWhitelist.push("my-url");
I feel a little caught between a rock and a hard place here. I want to use Firefox's built in spell checking without disabling Ckeditor's context menu as this renders it impossible to work with tables. Is there a way of getting the best of both worlds here?
You could try setting the disableNativeSpellChecker property to false - it should then be possible to see the native spell checker markings within the editor - however for me I couldn't get this to work in Firefox, only Google chrome.
You can then hold the ctrl key down when you right click to show the browser context menu (provided browserContextMenuOnCtrl has not been set to false)
HTH.
Use the browser's default contextmenu for right click action, then you don't need to press Ctrl to shoe the browser's default context menu.
config.removePlugins = 'scayt,menubutton,contextmenu';
Enable the built-in spell checker if the browser provides one.
config.disableNativeSpellChecker = false;
hi there you can disable it by going to
Ckeditor>File Editor.then make sure you're editing the ckeditor.config.js file!
then add the two lines at the bottom (after the }; tag) add the two lines like below!...
**> CKEDITOR.config.disableNativeSpellChecker = false;
CKEDITOR.config.browserContextMenuOnCtrl = true;**
then save it..........
when writing in ckeditor a red dot underline will appear if your spell is incorrect!
when you right click the ckeditor's context menu appear.....but when you Ctrl+Right Click the browsers default menu appears....thanks..........
Use this plugin: http://martinezdelizarrondo.com/spellcheck/ and as it's stated, you have to install the WriteArea extension in Firefox.
Have you tried to enable SCAYT (SpellCheckAsYouType) in CKeditor? It is buit-in there and works as a plug-in.
I use Conkeror on a daily basis except at work where I need Firebug, since I'm a web developer. I really miss having the "follow link" ability in Conkeror but I don't want to resort to using Vimperator to get it.
Is there any Firefox extension which lets me follow links by hitting a key followed by the link text like in Conkeror?
There are many ways you can already use only the keyboard to browse with Firefox.
Searching pages
The find-as-you-type feature was an epiphany. While Google is great at getting you to the right web page, Firefox's find-as-you-type feature gets you the rest of the way.
Find as you type text: /
Find as you type link: '
Regular old find: Ctrl/Cmd+F
The link search is very useful, especially when used in conjunction with...
Opening pages
Unless you do all of your browsing in one page, these shortcuts are huge when you don't want to go running for your mouse.
Open link in new window: Shift+Enter
Open link in new tab: Ctrl/Cmd+Enter
Open address/search in new tab: Alt/Option+Enter
Used together with their respective shortcuts (address and search bar shortcuts and the find-as-you-type link shortcut), the page opening shortcuts go a long way toward mouse-less browsing.
Of course, you can also use the Mousless Browsing plugin.
Mouseless Browsing (MLB) enables you to browse the web entirely with the keyboard. The basic principle is to add small boxes with unique ids behind every link and/or form element. You just have to type in the id to trigger the corresponding action i.e. following a link, pressing a button or selecting a textfield...
There's Pentadactyl - and all firefox extensions work well with it.

Works even better with Linkification, I might add.
When writing the HTML part of a page in a VS2008 Web App, the editor keeps formatting the HTML with linebreaks that break the readability of the code (to my eyes).
Can this feature be disabled?
Thanks
Have you tried Tools/Options/Text Editor/HTML ?
Tool/Options/
[Show all settings]
Text Editor/HTML
Wrap tags when exceeding specified lenght
If any interested.
You're probably looking at the Tag Wrapping option inside the Text Editor -> HTML options under the text editor settings. You can either disable it altogether or extend it beyond the 80 character default.
However, there is still some level of code reformatting that happens behind the scenes when you drag new controls into the page that I haven't found any solution to other than just staying in the text editor as much as possible.
Two good things to note: 1. VS2K8 does a MUCH better job that VS2K5 when it comes to formatting HTML. 2. With the new intellisense built into VS2K8, it makes it really easy to stay in the text editor while adding tags. I think I do most of my HTML stuff there now. You can keep your display in "split view" and just refresh every now and then to see how your controls are coming up.
