Firefox Nightly Google Search Bar shrunk - firefox

I have the latest update for Nightly (34.0a1 (2014-08-14)). It addressed one of the two problems I have from the previous update, which was the disappearing input fields. The other problem was the shrinking of the Google search field. What can I do to fix this?
See screenshot here.

#Acnologia, we are aware of the issue and have logged a bug with Google for them to fix the issue. You can follow along on here if you need more details.

The way I worked around the problem was to close Nightly, open Internet Explorer, and then re-download Firefox Nightly over the version I already have (DO NOT DEINSTALL!). Apparently it reset the version back to "34.0a1 (2014-07-21)" - before the "Google Search Results Page Searchbar Too Small" issue started. Then each time I start Nightly and Windows7 asks me if I want to allow the application to make changes to my computer, I answer "No" so Nightly does not get updated.
Then, each evening after I get home from work, I Google the past 24 hours to see if the issue has been fixed yet, and I will not update Nightly again until it has.
I realize this is a cheap workaround, and I would love to be able to trust Nightly Updates again, but this common issue should have been foreseen before the build was released. - And I will give them another week or two to figure it out, and if not... bye, bye Nightly!

Why Geolocation is getting a wrong TimeStamp - Xamarin [duplicate]

I am testing an Android GPS tracking application in the Emulator and I am running into a problem when trying to figure out if the last known location is stale or not. Getting the system time gives me the correct time, but when I call location.getTime() for the last known location the time returned is off by a few hours. I did some more testing and found out that every time I send a GPS location from the Emulator control tab in Eclipse (similar to geo fix), the location's time is advanced by one second. This makes no sense at all! I would appreciate any insights into this problem.
As discussed this appears to be a bug in the emulator (I was able to repeat it as well). I filed a bug report at https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=27272 if anyone wants to add details, star it, and/or follow along.
This bug has been fixed in the ToT dev branch for API 26. We will cherry-pick this fix to other branches and hopefully the public available system images will see the bug fix in the near future.
If any issue persists, please report at Google issue tracker they will re-open to examine.

CKEditor Crashes Edge Browser when you click on SOURCE

Just upgraded to Windows 10. Switching to SOURCE mode in CKEditor crashes the entire browser and cases to refresh. No way to access source.
Microsoft Edge is a new product, and so far, it has quite a few issues that need ironing out.
CKEditor introduced initial Edge support in version 4.5, but there are quite a few bugs that were reported by us to Microsoft and that need to be fixed on their side.
The issue that you describe was actually reported by us, too, you can find it here: https://connect.microsoft.com/IE/feedback/details/1577449/edge-browser-crashes-when-using-ckeditor-toggling-from-wysiwyg-to-source-mode
Anyone interested in having this fixed is probably most welcome to comment the bug report to highlight it's a show-stopper for many users. Sorry about any inconvenience caused.
As MicroSoft says this problem has been solved after update 1511.

How to get rid of "disable developer mode extensions" pop-up [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Disable developer mode extensions pop up in Chrome
(20 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
Recently Google added this annoying pop up to the dev channel.
Someone answered here (Disable developer mode extensions pop up in Chrome) to edit the chrome.dll to get rid of the pop up.
However, the method described there does not seem to work anymore.
Additionally, it would be nice to have a batch script that patches chrome.dll should Google push a new update.
EDIT: Open to new hacks, since wOxxOm stopped maintaining his useful script (the manual method seems to be outdated as well)
I am adding here the official ways to solve this issue and I know they are not optimal, but it makes sense that these solutions are present here.
The first solution and the most complicated one is to create a Google Store Account and go through all the steps to activate it, with it you can upload your extension package and keep it Private, so you can share the link to this package to who will need to install it, this way that message will never show since the extension has been approved by Google team and it's secure.
The second option is to download the Chrome Dev Browser, linked Here, it wont show on the screen that you are downloading the Dev Channel, you have to trust it is happening. This version of the browser works side by side with the official version so you don't have to uninstall or anything, and all settings are separated so it's really like a different browser.
I am using version 64 of it and it solved my problem with the extension.
If you can't use dev/canary builds the easiest way to remove the pop-up is to package your extension and then use group policies to whitelist it, as outlined here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/38011386/991321

Developer Documentation has gone in xcode 3.2.5?

I used to looking up classes/methods from Help->Developer Documentation, which has API doc in local. But after I just upgraded my xcode to 3.2.5, it becomes totally different. When I type something in the search box (e.g. NSString), it accesses the network slowly and asks my developer account/password.
The even worse thing is after I type the password it keeps saying,
"You Request Is Being Redirected: You may have used an outdated link or typed the address (URL) incorrectly. If you came to this page via a bookmark, please update it accordingly. "
What happened with it? How to get the old Developer Documentation back?
Happened to me with an earlier update, 2-3 versions before the official iOS 4.2 SDK. You can easily get it back from your Xcode preferences > Documentation (all the way to the right side)

How do I get TiddlySnip to work in Firefox?

Since Google stopped supporting Notebooks, I decided to look for alternatives and so I gave TiddlyWiki + TiddlySnip a shot. However, when trying to install TiddlySnip2.1, I'm getting this error:
"TiddlySnip" will not be installed because it does not provide secure updates
I followed the procedure specified in the site which is to add tiddlysnip.com in the Allowed sites-Add ons list but it still won't work.
And to add insult to injury, the support for the extension has been stopped as well.
My final workaround is to use an older version(1.21-beta), which I was able to find, but I'm finding it a bit unstable.
Did anyone have any success with this?
Thank you.
Eureka! Google has saved me! Their google group has a post on how to shoehorn it into Firefox 3.5.x: http://groups.google.com/group/tiddlysnip/browse_thread/thread/e5edef97dec18a17/ce49452f6397083a?lnk=gst&q=does+not+provide+secure+updates#ce49452f6397083a
Right Stumproot, however I just feel the need to look for alternatives.
OT, I went as far as going into the irc channel of tiddlywiki to find out and it seems that there's no other way around this issue than to use the older version.
I think that the TW community still plans to continue developing TiddlySnip but for now it's on hold so TW users will just have to make do with the beta version.
