I want to capture a webpage as an image. I am able to do this using a firefox extension using context.drawWindow method. Now I want to strech myself and see if I can do this using a bookmarklet :)
I remember reading somewhere that context.drawWindow() works only from the firefox toolbars. I dont know if that's still true or not.
Can anyone shed some light if I can execute context.drawWindow() from a bookmarklet or no?
Thanks

You can't, since bookmarklets run with the permissions of the page, and drawWindow is chrome-only (can only be used by Firefox UI and extensions, not Web pages).

This seems to be by design as far as I can tell. Selenium can see the initially loaded HTML, but not the HTML after it's been massaged. I've tried IE, Chrome and PhantomJS and they all show the same behavior. So does the built-in Chrome debugger, until you inspect an element on the page, you can't query any of the rendered HTML.
I'm looking for any suggestions about how to scrape the web page. The only option I see right now is finding the chrome process, triggering the inspector, clicking inside, then running the Javascript. Needless to say, this sounds fragile.
I also haven't been able to find anything on capturing the Ajax calls from selenium so I can make them and capture the JSON. When tried copy / paste from the chrome network tab into selenium I got a missing application block message.
Does anyone have any other advice?
Since I can replicate the issue in the chrome debugger, I don't see posting code as useful. It looks like a design decision.

Sadly, I wasn't able to do things in a straightforward way. Instead, I used Selenium to do the login and navigate to the page, then use windows API calls to click inside the window send ^a^c to copy the data and an absolute location to click on the button to go to the next page.
The site is set up so that ^a^c copies the raw data for this site. I don't know if that's standard for Angular or not.
Fragile, but it works.
It's possible to take screenshots of web pages in Firefox using the developer toolbar. Is it possible to do this programmatically too, e.g., from the command line? I've tried with Selenium, but with no luck.
edit: I know it's possible to take screenshots using Selenium, but this only gets you the full screen. Using the developer toolbar in Firefox, one can use CSS selectors to select only parts of a page, which is what I want to do (and forgot to specify, sorry). What I've read online is that Selenium cannot access the developer toolbar because it's not part of the DOM.
I have a strange problem.
I have integrated shadowbox plugin into my drupal web and it works with Opera, Chrome and IE9, but it doesn't work with Firefox 14.
I've noticed that in Firefox rel="shadowbox" attribute is not added to the link of an image, so that should be the reason.
How could I solve this?
The whole idea of Shadowbox is (usually) that you if add the rel="shadowbox" to a link, it will show the Shadowbox. Are you really sure that the attribute is not added in Firefox? Because if that is the cause, you're probably doing something extremely weird at the server side.
Are you trying to add the attribute using some client side code? Because then maybe that code gets execute after Shadowbox registers its event bindings. You might consider changing that code to really add shadowbox to the link, instead of just setting the attribute. Shadowbox provides a fairly decent API to do exactly that.
I am creating an in-house web application that I want to run in a WebKit shell browser on the Mac. I searched and came up empty. Basically, I want the site rendered and shown in a window with no chrome for navigating to other pages, bookmarks, etc. Seems to me that there should be a relatively easy way to get something like that up and running in Xcode, but alas I don't know how. The more barebones the better. Anybody know the answer?
Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but you could use a WebView. The content is rendered by Safari/WebKit.
As for chrome, if you just put the view, that's all you'll have. You can shape the rest of the User Interface however you'd like.
Apple's documentation has a couple of examples using WebView... Should this solve your problem.
Did you take a look at the phonegap mac project.
Its a full screen webkit without any chrome in which you can put your html / css / javascript to run:

I need to read every url that loads into the navigation bar of firefox (either by type in or by clicking a link), pass them through a filter and decide if allow the url to open or not.
I have some experience on firefox extensions but not with plugins.
Do I need to do it using extensions or plugins for this?
I currently have a BHO for IE that does this, and I get the URLs using the web browser events.
An extension would be just fine. For what you want to do, you need nsIObserverService, and http-on-modify-request observer.
You can use Adblock Plus (See the video)
