I don't know if this is the correct site, but do you know if there is a good emulator for mobile firefox out there? I want to make some tests on mobile firefox and I don't have a smartphone available :S
Mozilla provides windows, linux and mac os versions of Firefox mobile: https://www.mozilla.com/en/mobile/download/
You can use Firefox OS Simulator, too. It's a browser add-on. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-os-simulator/
Take note: When you install this add-on and encountered a pop-up related to the add-on, just press "Continue" and NOT.. I repeat NOT "Stop Script" :)

I'm trying to prevent users from removing Google Chrome extensions on my desktop running MacOS. I have successfully done so on my Windows devices by editing the registry to remove the "Remove Extension" button on Chrome.
However, I have not been able to find a method for achieving the same on MacOS. Would anyone happen to know how to?
Are there any add-ons to test an HTML page to see what it will look like on a mobile device? I'm developing with PhoneGap but Eclipse emulator is too slow to refresh it all the time so I want to have a browser extension that make screen resolution like on mobile.
If you care only about the screen size, Firefox 15 (currently Beta, release coming up in two weeks) has Responsive Design View in the Web Developer menu that allows you to adjust "screen size". For example, you can select 360x640 (nHD resolution) and have a look at your page.
However, mobile browsers do custom adjustments to web pages and these adjustments depend on the browser used. For example, Firefox Mobile does something called Font Inflation. You cannot reproduce it in a desktop browser, you have to actually run Firefox Mobile for that. The problem: mobile browsers will only run on mobiles, even Mozilla stopped supplying Firefox Mobile for the desktop after they switched to the native Android UI.
Edit: Starting with Firefox 33, there is a Firefox OS simulator built into Firefox (thanks to Tomek for pointing me into this direction). To start it, open WebIDE, then click "Select Runtime" and choose "Firefox OS 1.3." This will start the simulator, all you need to do then is clicking the Firefox icon (for me it's a blue one, not the usual orange). There you are, you can test any website in a real mobile browser, right on your desktop.
Firefox OS simulator can do the trick: Just install it. Run it - and run the browser inside. :)
I wanted to write an AJAX based hybrid Android application.
I tried to get my head around weinre but I can't get the network panel to appear. It does not show regular network interactions and for any XHR interaction it states "status pending" and "type pending".
Has anybody else faced this problem?.
This link did/did not solve the problem: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5424
Weinre is pretty limited, and nowadays better solutions exist to inspect your Hybrid app:
On Android 4.4 and above (or lower Android if you're using CrossWalk), you can use Chrome https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/debug/remote-debugging/remote-debugging Just point to chrome://inspect/#devices and you should see your device and hybrid apps and browsers. You may need to first run adb start-server for Chrome to see your device
On iOS, you can use Safari (on a Mac): you need to enable Web Inspector on Safari on iOS, and use the Developper mode of Safari on the Mac. See eg http://developer.telerik.com/featured/a-concise-guide-to-remote-debugging-on-ios-android-and-windows-phone/
Is there any way, to simulate a Firefox, running on a Mac in Windows?
I have a problem with a website, it only appears in Firefox which is installed on an Apple PC.
In Firefox, installed under Windows it works fine.
Is there any way, to do this?
I would prefer freeware....
You can install OSX on Virtual Box or VMWare they both have support for OSX up to 10.7.x
Try an online browser testing service, which will allow you to preview a site by either a screenshot of your URL in a browser, or give you remote access to a VM of the OS and browser you need.
Some options;
BrowserCam
Adobe BrowserLab
I am developing a web app that involves touchEvent. It will be much more easier to debug those if I can view the console remotely on my Mac.
Can I make my Mobile Safari on the iOS device store the console log somewhere in the system. I have already jailbreak my iPad.
Thanks!
plug iphone into computer
settings > safari > advanced > web inspector (turn on)
open safari on your computer
run your web app on your iphone in the safari browser
on your computer in safari, go to Develop -> "name of your iphone" and then find the correct tab under "Safari" opens Web Inspector.
doing these steps enables the safari debug tools on your desktop to reflect and respond to the connected iphone.
hope that helps.
Just turn on the debugging console in Mobile Safari. This is enabled in Settings/Safari/Developer.
One File Remote Console.log for node.js
Solution: Server side console log.
In iOS6, you can now use the Remote Web Inspector on OSX to connector to the iPhone via USB. See the Apple documentation for more information.
You can use a remote javascript console. There a few available.

Not sure if I'm allowed to re-post my answer from another question, but at this link here I posted 3 options of JS console and logging tools that can assist with troubleshooting issues on iOS devices, with screenshots and sample code snippets. One of these is an open source tool I built myself, but the other two are probably even more advanced.
mobile-console-log is also a utility for debugging directly from your mobile into Chrome Devtools
