I need a Portable web Browser, or any install-able (Windows) Browser, which will only load my URL.
Some thing Like I will have my Shortcut in the desktop, when User click, the Web browser with my URL loads.
Is it possible with portable Firefox to modify, I also need cookies to work along, thats the reason I need to find a custom Web browser.
I just found out a partial solution using
Mozilla Client Customization Kit , we can create a extension which allows to customize firefox upto certain limitations.

I want to know is there any add-on to redirect url in mozilla firefox. In Google Chrome there is an add-on Switcheroo. I need the url switcher like this in mozilla firefox. I have already tried with redirect url add-on of mozilla. But its not redirecting correctly.
Requirements:
I need to test the localhost portal pages. But in few places the dev environment url is hard coded. I want to redirect those urls to localhost to test the changes which I made in local.
Eg redirection:
protocol://dev_hostname:dev_portnubmer/wps/portal/abcd/xyz/u!/abcd
should be redirected to
protocol://localhost:localhostPortnumber/wps/portal/abcd/xyz/u!/abcd
For this redirection in google chrome switcheroo add-on I have configured like this:-http://dev_hostname:dev_portnubmer ---> http://localhost:localhostPortnumber. The add-on changing the protocol, domain name, port number. It's not changing the rest of the url part. Its working well as I expected. But in Mozilla I need an add-on like this.
You can use the Requestly extension which is available for both Chrome and Firefox. It has a feature to replace parts of URL which matches a given text or pattern instead of redirecting to a different URL altogether, basically what Switcheroo does. It has other features as well.
For your particular use case, you can follow these steps -
Install Requestly
Click on r icon in address bar
Click on (+) Green Icon to create a new Rule
Select Replace Rule
Replace dev_hostname:dev_portnubmer with localhost:localhostPortnumber
Save
Test your app now.
There is a add-on available for mozilla to redirect url which is Redirector.
I have read the help provided by the Redirector add-on, there they have explained the usage of it clearly.
I am using the CefSharp .Net wrapper for the Chromium Embedded Framework as a simple wrapper around a web application. In my web application, I make a JSONP AJAX call out to another domain to get some data and display it. The URL to that domain is not using SSL. Because of that, when doing this in the Chrome browser, I get the following message, to which the end user would simply click "Load Anyway", allowing the JSONP request to fire and the data to be retrieved...
The app using CefSharp simply starts up the main URL to my web application when it runs. When I try and make the same call in my this application using CefSharp, however, it doesn't get that same prompt. Instead, the AJAX request just times out (the same behavior that happens when the end user never clicks a button in the yellow bar that appears in Chrome).
Does anyone know if CefSharp has a way for me to catch this security message and either...
Prompt the end user to click "Load anyway", similar to the behavior of the Chrome browser, or
Programmatically bypass the security warning altogether?
If not, does the Chromium Framework itself support dealing with this situation?
After posting to CefSharp and CEF projects, it looks like CEF does not currently support this situation. magreenblatt suggested a couple of approaches to add it to CEF. Now I just need to try and find the time to add support for it. :-)
Hi i'm using the webbrowser control to download a html webpage. I only need the code, however the webbrowser is also downloading all the extra css/javascript/images linked to from the webpage, which is using up time and bandwidth. So is there a way to make the web browser only download the webpage and nothing else? I have to use this webbrowser because it's logged in to the site, so unfortunately a webclient would not work.
Thanks,

How is it logged into the site? Could you use GetCookies() API on the browser control and add that to the HttpWebRequest?
I want to create a Firefox Extension which will display a webpage. It will be like user should write a something in browser like "about:" or even a button would do ?
How can i load the WebPage in Firefox. The user should have a feel that a webpage is being loaded.
PS: I have javascript and CSS in that Page.
If i cannot make then what changes do i need to make in the web page for that change.
I also want to connect to a server and fetch XML data and want to display process that data and and display it on the page. I am developing this extension as my page is static and HTML/Javascript does not allow cross domain queries. I hope that cross-domain queries are possible if i use extension.
There is Browser XUL object that acts a an standalone browser. You can load any document inside that.
I have some pages that are sent via HTTPS. Internet Explorer sometimes complains about "This webpage contains content that will not be delivered using a secure HTTPS".
I looked in the html source to confirm all content calls (href, src, etc...) are sent via https. My CSS files use relative paths. But I'm still getting these warnings.
Is there an easy way to track down which items are not sent via HTTPS?
You could fire up Fiddler to see what exactly IE is requesting over regular HTTP.
In Fiddler's default configuration, HTTPS requests will show up with a lock and CONNECT as the host. HTTP requests will have a non-lock icon.
(source: josh3736.net)
I usually use Firefox + Firebug (the "Net" tab) to find the offending request. You could also use Fiddler for this. (with any browser)
I've used the following site before - I finding it easier than loading up firebug / fiddler.

You can use SslCheck
It's a free online tool that crawls a website recursively (following all internal links) and scans for unsecure content - images, scripts and CSS.
(disclaimer: I'm one of the developers)
In Google Chrome, similar to Firefox w/ FireBug, you can use the 'Network' tab of the Developer Tools console.
Open the Developers Tools console, go to the 'Network' tab, and reload the target page. Any warnings with the page, such as insecure content being loaded, will be indicated with the number of warning and an 'alert' icon in the bottom right corner (Chrome v23.x). Click on the icon and a list of the warnings, in this case, the resources being loaded insecurely, will be displayed.
Using following tools could help:
Firefox's FireBug . opening tab Network shows you connection details to multiple resource
Fiddler - acts as sniffer allows you explore details of connect.
using firefox - view generated source vs viewing source
there is probably a javascript file that is creating a div/iframe that is insecure
