How to hook the download dialog in a Firefox extension?
I have developed a Download Accelerator and now want to create a Firefox Extension for it. What I need to know is when a file download is requested. I have read about the 'observer-service' events such as 'dl-start'. However, these events are fired after the default download dialog is displayed, I need to catch the download before the default.
Any suggestions?

Multiline mode for Firefox debug tools? [duplicate]

Firefox Developer Tools JS editor (like firebug)?

Note for close vote AIs: I'm not asking for software recommendation on another product. That would be off topic anyway. I'm asking whether something is possible in .
One of the great features of Firebug - which is now discontinued and already started to malfunction - was the side to side script editor with console:
I can't figure out how to enable this in the Firefox Developer tools. I looked in settings but there's nothing about it. Is that even possible in Firefox Developer tools? Or maybe it's simply not possible?
I do know that with Shift+Enter you can enter multiple lines in the console, but when you press enter the line resets.
The Firefox DevTools have something similar called Scratchpad, which is a separate panel allowing you to execute multi-line JavaScript code. Furthermore, the command line allows you to enter line breaks by pressing Shift+Enter and automatically breaks into the next line when the entered expression is not finished, e.g. when you write document. and hit Enter.
As those features are not exactly what Firebug provided and the UI is somewhat requiring getting used to, there is a request to implement a multi-line mode for the console like in Firebug as well as a request to improve the output within Scratchpad.

I need to put a shortcut programmatically under Quick access list, just like DropBox and OneDrive did, see the picture: http://i.imgur.com/l5o2qzH.jpg.
Is there any documentation on how to do this?
You can do this by simply creating a shortcut to specific folder inside C:\Users\YourUserName\Links
This works on Windows 7. I need to test this on Windows 10.
EDIT: This method does not work on Windows 10

How to programmatically remove a file from "share with me" in Google drive
(1 answer)
Closed 3 years ago.
When right click a file under the "Shared with me" node on Google Drive a context menu item called "Remove" is available to remove the selected item that is shared with me.
Is there a way to achieve the same using Google Drive SDK? Thanks a lot.
Drive V3 - With shared with me the user has a permissions record for the file. If you remove that then the file will no longer be shared with the user.
Unfortunately the API currently doesn't support this operation. Please file a feature request here: https://code.google.com/a/google.com/p/apps-api-issues/issues/entry?template=Feature%20request&labels=Type-Enhancement,API-Drive

Associating file extensions with a program

My application saves a file with *.SAH type (it is a custom file type). Then i can open it with a file open dialog.
Im wondering how i can send the file location to a textbox when user directly clicks on that file. in other words, the user clicks on the file and then my application runs and on form load, my textbox.text will be the path of file .
In the MSDN are good information with examples.
Try editing the registry using RegCreateKey() and RegCloseKey() apis.

How to hook the download dialog in a Firefox extension?

I'm writing a Firefox extension and I need to hook the download dialog that comes up when the user tries to download a file.
In other words, I need a script-defined function to be notified instead of the dialog appearing as normal.
Where do I begin? I tried reading through the XPCOM API Reference... but this is the closest thing I could find.
You need to override nsIDownloadManagerUI (by implementing it).
