I am following a toolbar tutorial for firefox and i am unable to develop dynamically. I have changed the "install.rdf" file names with the .com and without the ".com". I have created a separate development profile as well. I created a text file with matching names in the tag. The text file contents had the absolute path of the folder. i placed it into the extension folder which is located in the profile. I started firefox but nothing happened. Noh toolbar was displayed. Can anybody help?
The link of the tutorial i am following is http://www.borngeek.com/firefox/toolbar-tutorial/chapter-4/
I cannot move forward without getting this working

So you know when you browse to a XAMPP installation in your browser, but XAMPP can't find a index.php or equivalent file, it just shows a file browser thing? (Pictured below.)
Well the name column doesn't scale with the length of the file names, and I often find myself needing guess which folder I was looking for. Is there a way to change the layout and or CSS of this default file browser?
I found its solution on this link
I am attaching the image too if the link gets removed.
I am currently building a Windows Universal App and the learning curve is OK. I get a response from my webservice, parse the JSON, display info in the app, but my current issue is the following one:
I tried to display an image that I put in the Assets folder, but this doesn't seem to work.
This is my layout:
As you can see, the text "Test" is correctly displayed but not the images.
On the right side, in the explorer pannel, I cannot see the files that should be here:
WHAT I HAVE TRIED:
In my example, they are in the Assets/picto folder, but I have also tried the root directory Assets, as wal as creating Image folder at the same level.
I have definitely no idea how to add a simple picture, so any help is appreciated!
Adding items in Windows explorer to the right location doesn't add them to your solution / deployment.
You have to right-click the picto folder -> Add > -> Add existing item. Your items are not even in your solution, so they won't show up on the layout screen.
Make sure you set the correct build target for each image.
If an image shouldn't show up, even through it's in your solution, this is often the reason.
I have a logo that shows up in Safari but in Chrome it appears as a broken link and simply does not show up at all in Firefox.
<img src="images/logo-01.png"/>
I have re-uploaded it many times and have even tried alternative paths and file names.
anyone know how i might be screwing this up?
I ran into this same problem. For me, it turns out the image was corrupt. If i tried to open the png file up in photoshop, i would get an error saying it could not parse the file.
For whatever reason, safari could display the corrupt file, but chrome could not. This is how i fixed my issue. I noticed "preview" on my macbook could open the file fine. If you are using windows, possibly try paint or gimp or some other program besides photoshop.
I downloaded the corrupt file onto my macbook, opened it with preview (open with > preview)
In the preview app, go to file > duplicate, which makes a copy of your image
Save that duplicated image
As a test, i tried opening that new copied image in photoshop and i was able to!
Upload new file to website. I was able to view the image in chrome now.
Hope that helps anyone who ran into the same problem.
It could be an issue with your file structure. Right now your links are using relative paths (e.g. href="index.html"). This is fine if the file you're referencing is in the same directory as the current page file. But if your current page is located elsewhere, like in a 'pages' directory or something, then you need to tell the links to start from the site root. That would look like href="/index.html" (note the slash). So for the image, you'd have:
<img src="/images/logo-01.png"/>
.CSHTML files doesn't show the SPLIT / Design tabs in DW 5.5
I followed a tutorial of how to add a file extension to DW 5.5 to allow me to open it and it treats it as HTML but it isn't functioning.
Here is the line I changed. notice the addtional of cshtml
<documenttype id="HTML" internaltype="HTML" winfileextension="html,htm,shtml,shtm,stm,tpl,lasso,xhtml,cshtml"
The file is stored here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver
CS5.5\configuration\DocumentTypes
What am I doing wrong?
My file type is basically a HTML file type with Divs etc etc but has some custom .NET code which its fine to treat as TEXT.
I open the file in Dreamweaver and it only shows the code tab, the DESIGN or SPLIT are still disabled.
And there is no color coding on, for example, a div tag...
Take a read here about adding file extensions:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/164/tn_16410.html
In particular make sure you edit the copy in the user configuration folder, not the one in the application folder. If there isn't a copy in the user folder, create a copy in the appropriate location. I just followed those directions adding a CSHTML file extension to the document types and extensions file, and once Dreamweaver is restarted, a .cshtml file opened with the ability to view in design view.
I have a .asp application where image files (.PDF) are stored in a directory (fed by a copier/scanner). The created file names are stored in a database table. When a query is launched from the web page a link to the file is created. When clicked the image should be displayed.
This functionality works 100% in Internet Explorer. No such luck in Firefox (and I have some Firefox users). The created hyperlink looks like this file://Server/Scanner/XYZ.pdf
The Firefox helps suggest the reason is this:
Links to local or network pages do not work. As a security precaution, Firefox forbids sites on the Internet to link to files that are stored in your local computing environment. These files may include files on your computer, mapped network drives, and UNC network paths
None of the suggestions for a workaround seem to work (or I am not understanding the steps to create the image display)
Any Suggestions?
This is the default Firefox behavior designed for security .The assumption is probably that most web sites don't know what and where are you local files (including UNC paths).
This could be turned off in firefox:
type "about:config" in the address bar and accept "i'll be careful"
find "security.checkloaduri" in older versions or "security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy" in newer versions of firefox and change the value to "false"
restart firefox
That should do it for you. You have more information here:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy

Firefox >= 68.0.1
I'm able to preview in Firefox both images and PDF files with local file links using the settings mentioned here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1303727
I have used links with local file: test
and added in user.js the mentioned settings (with adjusted sites list):
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "localfilelinks");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites", "http://my.intranet");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess");
Also, when setting Firefox to "Always ask" for PDF files, I was able to "Open with" the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, which reported the expected local folder when accessing "File -> Properties".
Firefox >= 1.5.x < 20 (ish)
Search for the Firefox profile folder on your hard drive, e.g. (12345678 stands for eight random digits and letters):
Windows: "C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles12345678.default\"
Linux: "/home/username/.mozilla/firefox/12345678.default/"
OS X: /Username/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/12345678.default/
In this folder create a text file with the name user.js. Write the following line into that text file:
user_pref("capability.policy.default.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess");
Works on my PC (Firefox 3.0.3 and 19.0 beta) with the following references:
<img src="file://///server/share/image.png" />
<img src="file://\\\server\share\image.png" />
<img src="file://d:\image.png" />
<img src="file:///d:\image.png" />
<img src="file://d:/image.png" />
<img src="file:///d:/image.png" />
<img src="file://localhost/d:/image.png" />
Also, if you are using the NoScript add-on, check the Advanced \ Trusted \ Allow local links option.
Reading at the solution given here, I followed the link Links to local pages do not work and for me, only this worked well (I am using wordpress for a personal FAQ on a local wamp installation):
Go to your "%Your Documents & Settings%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\%your profile%\"
edit the file "prefs.js"
add the following lines at the end of the document:
.
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites", "http://localhost");
user_pref("capability.policy.maonoscript.javascript.enabled", "allAccess");
You can leave the setting "security.checkloaduri" to its default value, and also the "security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy". Thanks to those 3 lines, you just make an exception for your local server.
Be careful, if you need to go back to that prefs.js file, note that Firefox will have ordered it alphabetically. So the 3 lines you will have added at the end will be somewhere at the beginning ;).
You can load the LocalLink FireFox Add-On, which allows you to right-click on a local link and select 'Open in Foreground Window'. The other 'Open...' menu items are supposed to work, but don't for me.
http://locallink.mozdev.org/
Also, you can use NoScript, like Alex suggests, which enables normal clicking of local links. Thanks Alex.
Marko's solution should work for links that are also on the local filesystem, but I don't think it should allow an http:// page to link to a file:// page.
The issue for people linking from http:// pages is discussed here:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_do_not_work
along with an explanation of how to circumvent it and expose yourself to risk.
You can instead read the file off the disk and then send it in the Response from your page.
See this link for an example.
Tonnes of thanks I wAs searching this solution since months,
::THis thing worked::
This could be turned off in firefox:
* type "about:config" in the address bar and accept "i'll be careful"
* find "security.checkloaduri" in older versions or "security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy" in newer versions of firefox and change the value to "false"
* restart firefox
::::
shouldn't you really store the pages in your application directory and reference them this way. http://SITENAME/Server/scanner/XYZ.pdf.
We do something similar with files stored all in one directory and just store the file name. we then create the link using the known folder name and append the file name. this works quite well.
Finally firefox is a lot more anal about the directions of the slashes in file names as well. Make sure they are all '/' rather than '\'.
Hope this helps.
beware of incompatibility with gmarks (google toolbar replacer)
both local link and policy manager worked for me; local link is a little smoother, policy manager gives you more control
file://localhost///servername/share/file.txt works for me on FF11
(from a local html file: file:///C:/index.html)
