selenium ide menu bar missing in linux OS - firefox

I am a selenium newbie trying to install selenium ide on my Ubuntu.
This is how i installed -
1. Open Firefox Browser
2. Goto http://seleniumhq.org/download/
3. Click on Download Version 1.9.0
4. Install and Restart Firefox
5. Click on Tools, find Selenium IDE and click to start.
Issue with Selenium IDE -
Selenium IDE is not installed properly, because I see no Menu Bar(File, Edit, Options, Help) when I open the selenium ide. So there is no way I can save, rename etc or access other functions.
Versions that I am using - Ubuntu 12.0.4, Firefox 14.0.1, Selenium ide 1.9.0.
Please let me know if I am not installing ide properly.
I appreciate all tips and pointers on how to fix this or any work around. Also please let me know if you find any information vague or need any more specific details about this issue.
Thanks for your time
Puvi
P.S - I tried uploading a screenshot of Selenium ide with missing menu bar, however, stakoverflow does not let new members upload images till they earn 10 reputations points!!

You can find the menu options on the browser menu itself. Just roll your mouse point over the menu bar of the browser while Selenium IDE's window is opened.
Instead of Firefox's menu options it will show Selenium IDE's Menu options...

The menu options for the Selenium Firefox plugin version 1.7.3 and 1.9.0 appeared for me.
I used Firefox 14.0.1 to test.
Download Selenium IDE 1.7.3 from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/selenium-ide/
Install and Restart
Click Tool (at the top) then click Selenium IDE
Version 1.9.0 is available here.
http://release.seleniumhq.org/selenium-ide/1.9.0/selenium-ide-1.9.0.xpi
If you're still having the issues, then consider creating a new firefox profile and then reinstalling Selenium.
Or you could just install using a portable version of Firefox located here.

WSLg QtCreator broken menus and no autocompletion

I'm using WSlg with Ubuntu 18.04 on windows 11 and I've installed on it the Qt Creator IDE. Via the WSLg I can easily launch it through the start menu of windows 11.
The issue is that while coding with it I have no autocompletion (ctrl + space shows no menu). Also the right click menu after a while goes nuts and start showing in weird places of the screen until it disappears completely; same for the menus on the top bar.
I attach a picture where I show how the right click menu shows up out of the boundaries.
Anyone encountered this issue and has a solution?
So for now I have found a workaround even if it's not a proper solution.
I was using QtCreator installed via the online installer that Qt Provides. I tried using the version that comes with apt-get and I do not have those issues. Also the windowing is different because is showing the usual gray boxing of the WSLg apps; so might be related to the XWayland server architecture or something similar.
Cons of this are that the QtCreator version that comes this way is not up to date with the latest and will rely on the qt libs you have installed on your wsl (being ubuntu 18 will be qt5 and not qt6, meaning you'll not have QtCreator 8).
Also right not I'm having issue on the ClangCodeModel but I think it's a different issue.

Downloading Selenium Chrome Webdriver not working macos

I'm using selenium with python. I'm pretty sure my browser updated when I restarted my computer. When I ran my code it gave me an error saying the driver was not up to date with the browser. I went here to download the most recent version. I am using MacOS BTW. When I launched the executable it just gets stuck on "ChromeDriver was started successfully."
I would launch the executable and leave it there for 10 minutes and it would just get stuck on this. How can I fix this?
You'll have to download the same version of the driver as your chrome version.
To check your chrome version:
Click on the 3 dots in the top right corner.
Hover over the help tab and click on About Google Chrome.
You will be able to see your chrome version. Since my chrome version is 88, I would have to download driver version 88.
If you just updated chrome, your version might be 89.
I used to just run the executable but I guess that doesn't work? So according to this post you have to move it manually to the usr/local/bin folder. Going there I deleted the old chromedriver and replaced it with the new one.

How to stop chromedriver from opening settings tab automatically?

When I run ruby watir script for opening chrome browser, it also opens up another chrome tab with address "chrome://settings/help" and sets focus on that. How can I disable such additional tabs getting created?
Update: I updated the chromedriver to 2.33 that the selenium-standalone package uses and the config of the selenium server. The tab is not appearing anymore. You can try to update the chromedriver that your ruby script uses to 2.33.
If you need my Chrome version, it is currently 62.0.3202.89 (64 bit) for Mac OS.
I ran into this issue when I tried to used our selenium automation in nodejs. I tried the new chromedriver 2.33 but the issue persisted. I just downgraded my Chrome to version 59 at the moment until it can be fixed.
This has been fixed using the latest release: ChromeDriver 2.33. You can pick it from https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads
We hit the same after last update of chrome: 62.0.3202.89

Aptana crashes on Mac OS Sierra

Aptana studio used to work fine on OS X El Capitan but after updating to Sierra it doesn't work anymore... Can anybody help me fix this? I keep getting a crash log every time screenshot uploaded I open the app. Something I've noticed is that the aptana icon in the applications is a folder and not just a normal app icon. Earlier as I remember it was just a normal app icon on El Capitan. I use aptana on a daily basis as a university student so its vital for me for this to work.
Edit: I have tried a lot of methods including reinstalling java but still it doesn't work. Only way to make it work is to open up the application package and open the terminal executable aptana3. It runs perfectly then but if I launch from the usual app drawer icon it crashes.
This security measure can correct it from System Preferences -> Security and Privacy -> General tab.
By default, Sierra, the option “Allow applications downloaded from does not appear Anywhere “. But with a simple instruction from the command line so we can correct.
Go to the folder Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
In Terminal, enter or copy…
sudo spctl --master-disable
Type your password (it will not appear, however it is present) and press Enter
Click the lock and enter your Administrator password to make changes.
After changing this option, and can install any software, so if compatible with OS 10.12.
Open finder and navigate to "Applications -> Aptana"
Right click on the Aptana executable and click show contents
Navigate to "Content -> MacOS"
Double click click on AptanaStudio3
You will get a popup saying you need legacy Java SE 6
Click "More Info..." button and download and install it (very slow download, just wait it out)
Once installed double click the AptanaStudio icon in step 4 and Aptana Studio 3 will open
You will need to use that as the shortcut as the Aptana icon from installation will still not work.
Good luck.
I have same problem and solved with some workaround.
First download and install java for mac: https://support.apple.com/downloads/DL1572/en_US/javaforosx.dmg
If this not work or you reinstalled aptana after upgrading to sierra I advice to find a old copy of aptana directory and put it to application directory.
I had the same problems on MacOS Sierra; crashing on load, or the JVM error if I launch from within the package contents.
I didn't find any solution to this directly, but instead I installed the latest version of Eclipse first, then installed Aptana from Eclipse. That seems to be working.
In order to use Aptan on El Capitan, first you must install the legacy java 6 version for mac:
https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
The only thing is that you won't be able to access it like a normal application on your mac.
To open Aptana you must run:
Applications -> Aptana(right click to "Show package contents") -> Contents -> MacOS -> AptanaStudio3

Installing vlc web plugin for chrome on mac

I want to install the vlc web plugin for chrome on my mac (Mountain Lion) . I could succesfully do it on Windows by just selecting web plugin at the time of vlc installation. However, on a mac I think the plugin comes as a seperate package. Can someone please tell me how to do it as I have failed after several tries
Until the stable version is released, you can install a recent nightly webplugin from http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/macosx-intel/?C=N;O=A.
It may have bugs, but it works for the few instances I've used it.
There is no compatible VLC browser plugin available on the Mac at this point. We re-wrote it over the cause of the last year and will re-release an entirely new version this spring along with VLC 2.2 for desktop platforms.
This currently works. Here is a step by step guide:
In your browser go to http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/macosx-intel/
and download the latest VLC-webplugin-*.dmg.
Today the latest file appears to be this VLC-webplugin-20150922-0538.dmg
Open the .dmg file (double click, and a popup window will appear), drag the VLC Plugin.plugin to the Internet Plugins shortcut; This location is really /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/
In the Chrome address bar type chrome://flags/#enable-npapi and press Enter/Return.
You will see a list of settings, with a blue link to disable or enable.
Click 'Enable', under 'Enable NPAPI Mac, Windows', (this Enables NPAPI Mac, Windows. It enables the use of NPAPI plugins.)
Restart Chrome
In the Chrome address bar type chrome://plugins/ and press Enter/Return
You should now see 'VLC Web Plugin - Version: 2.2.2'
