An application I am currently working on uses the SWT tool-kit's Browser widget to display a Firefox/XULRunner browser. I would like to set custom user agent data in Firefox about:config preferences; how does one alter them when working with SWT browsers?
I don't really work with the SWT browser, but http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/platform-swt-dev/msg06747.html seems to indicate there at least used to be an about:config in the SWT browser. Did you try it? What happened?
Also the SWT browser should have a profile named "eclipse" by default (it seems it's located at C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Mozilla\eclipse\, see mozilla support for more info about profiles.
You should be able to edit prefs.js in there to set your preferences.

For me that's a huge step back. The new Use Browser is missing settings like Private & NewSession in the Modern Design. So it's not possible to open Chrome in private mode anymore. So currently the only workaround is to hit CTRL+SHIFT+N as Chrome shortcut:
But for me that does not sound like a good solution as browsers can swap that hotkey or having different.
So before without the Modern Design is was possible to set incognito mode in Open Browser:
So why is that feature gone in the Modern Design rework? How to get it back without the workaround and still using the Modern Design?
Private coming 21.4
New session is gone forever because it was targeting IE only, which is out of support
There is a workaround that already allows the incognito mode now in Chrome:
Add Application/Browser
Add new Chrome Application to the Object Repository (or click Indicate application ...)
Now do NOT create a screen (if the Create screen window is now opened close it)
Select the Use Browser Chrome and go to property Unified Application Target > Arguments
Type in --incognito
Click on the Burger menu of Use Browser Chrome
In the dropdown select Add Screen to Object Repository
Create the Screen now
All done. When you now check Use Browser Chrome for the Unified Application Target > Arguments it should still say --incognito.
These are the approaches I have tried:
View HTTP headers in Safari 10, but the cookies is not showed there
I can find Cookies section under Storage Tab, but the Cookies are displayed in a table.
I would like to view the Cookies in a string rather than a table, is there any way except using another browser?
Go to the Console* tab. Type
document.cookie
which shows all cookies for this location.
*: to access the console, (credit #Geoff Crompton)
if [you] have the developer menu enabled, [you] can go to the Develop menu, choose Show Web Inspector, and in the bottom of the new window type document.cookie to see the cookies for the current website
Safari Version 14.0.3 (16610.4.3.1.4)
The Develop menu of Safari adds a variety of additional features to the web browser on the Mac, including the inspector and error consoles, javascript debugging tools, the ability to disable various page elements, enable the Do Not Track feature, use WebGL acceleration, and it offers a simple way to change the browsers user agent.
Develop menu in Safari:
Pull down the Safari menu and choose Preferences
Click on the Advanced tab
Check the box next to Show Develop menu in menu bar
Close Preferences, the Develop menu will now be visible between Bookmarks and Window menus
It will require a little fiddling, but there is a Python script here http://www.securitylearn.net/2012/10/27/cookies-binarycookies-reader/ that can dump the Binary Cookie format (located in ~/Library/Cookies/).
I have been able to find preferences for Firebug to do this, but not having luck with Firefox Developer Tools. Which about:config preferences can I toggle to make Firefox Developer Tools automatically visible and (preferably) docked when Firefox is first launched?
I'm not entirely sure whether you can do that right now in Firefox, but I filed an issue on this on the Firefox DevTools Uservoice channel, you could follow up with this there, too.
I've done the researched but I haven't found anything suitable.
I need firefox to start in so called kiosk mode that would result in :
fullscreen
no tabs
no right click
back home forward buttons
There are plugins like r-kiosk - can I configure them to display only 3 buttons that I need?
thanks
I've written a Firefox extension that does just this called Webconverger:
http://webconverger.org/kiosk/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webconverger itself is a complete browser operating system with this "kiosk mode" extension loaded by default.
Use mKiosk firefox plugin. It's a Public Firefox Kiosk Mode with optional Tabs Guides for Access Point. Complete solution. Block downloads/addon, bookmarks, reset kiosk inactivity, retry on errors, restricted interface, show favorites as buttons and more...
I have a Windows application that works with Firefox. If Firefox is already open, I'd like to have it open a given URL in the current tab+window as is currently showing. Our application tends to open a lot of URLs and reusing the same browser window makes the most sense. I already have a COM application that works with Internet Explorer, but haven't been able to find something similar for an external application to work with Firefox.
The only way I know of to do this in Firefox is to set the browser.link.open_newwindow preference to 1. Unfortunately this also stops all in-page links from opening a new tab or window.
If you use SeaMonkey as your default browser then you can use the Preferences window under Tabbed Browsing or Link Behaviour to make links from external applications open in the current tab.
