Why is my firefox extension messing with another one's buttons? - firefox

I wrote a firefox extension which simply re-formats a page using some JQuery. But, it's interfering with another extension that places a button on the header panel of the browser. Now that button doesn't display. Can some one point me in the right direction as to when this happens. This is my first fire-fox extension.
Update:
The problem is actually being caused by the JQuery source file.
This is a known issue when using JQuery in the overlay.

Your update doesn't include valid chrome.manifest lines. Also, your original style line was totally wrong, and likely the cause of your problem. You should review this page which specifies the syntax to see how this should have been done.

How do you see your html edits after you reload (Firefox DevTools)?

I feel like this should be really easy to find if it exists, but I've been googling for 10 minutes. I don't see it mentioned in the official documentation.
I'm trying to troubleshoot a solution to a problem. The solution requires rearranging the order the head child elements.
It's trivial to make that change with Firefox devtools, but I don't know how to view the page with those changes; if I reload (ctrl+r), the HTML goes back to the server version. Does this feature exist?
FWIW, I can find ways of doing this for CSS and JS changes.
There is currently (as of Firefox 92) no such feature of re-applying HTML changes.
What I found is a feature request in Mozilla's bug tracker.
At the moment, the only workaround for this is to directly transfer the changes on the server side script creating the HTML output once you've done them in the Inspector.
Note: It requires some heuristics to re-apply changes to HTML in the browser because the resources served over the network could change in the meantime.
For CSS, the simple DevTools solution is to replace a file entirely by the saved one. For JavaScript, they have some heuristics to recognize where a line moved when code has changed between two reloads. Though those solutions cannot be transferred to HTML easily, as it is generated dynamically most of the time.

CKEditor multiple iframe dialog fields show the same dialog

I have created two CKEditor plugins. Each of them uses an "Iframe Dialog Field", meaning that a dialog box is launched and the contents of that dialog box is a webpage (you can think of the entire dialog box as being like one big iframe).
Each plugin works perfectly on its own. However if I use both plugins in the same CKEditor app, they both end up displaying the same page, rather than two different pages, despite the fact that they point to two different pages. I see no reason why this should be happening. Does anyone know how to prevent this?
To make sure there is no confusion, an "IFrame Dialog Field" is a dialog box whose contents are another webpage.
Documenentation - http://ckeditor.com/addon/iframedialog
[ This is different from using an "IFrame dialog", which I believe is a plugin that lets the user add an iframe to the page.
Documentation - IFrame Dialog: http://ckeditor.com/addon/iframe ]
In terms of usage, when using an IFrame Dialog Field, you specify the url of the page to load in the addIframe() command. Here is an example of using a CKEditor Iframe dialog
https://gist.github.com/garryyao/1170303
Back to my issue - if I use just one of the plugins in my CKEditor, it works perfectly. Each plugin points at a different url, and opens that url as the contents of the dialog box. But, if I use both plugins in my CKEditor, although I see a different icon for each, both end up launching a dialog box which points to the same url. Depending which one I launch first, that is the url both end up opening. It is as if you are only allowed to use one IFrame Dialog Field in CKEditor, and the first one used overwrites all others.
This same question was asked a couple of years ago, with no response on the CKEditor forum. The person who asked the question posted his solution, or rather his workaround, which was to NOT use the IFrame Dialog Field altogether, but to instead use a regular dialog and then put an iframe element within it.
http://ckeditor.com/forums/CKEditor-3.x/multiple-iframedialog-plugins-display-same-dialog
That seems like an OK workaround, but it is a workaround and not a solution. I haven't tried it yet, and don't know what potential issues I will run into if I go down that route. I'd prefer to fix my existing code rather than rewrite the plugins, unless I have no choice.
Any help would be appreciated.
Since I have not found any further information, or received any answers here, I ended up going with the workaround mentioned at the end of my question - I used a regular dialogue box and put a big Iframe within it. This problem doesn't exist with that approach, and It looks pretty much the same as an Iframe dialog box. (Considering the almost total lack of community support with CKEditor customization, I've realized it is better to just adjust your design/concept to do what is more easily accomplished with CKEditor, rather than get CKeditor to do exactly what you want).

Joomla articles and modules not showing on small screens

I'm really quite new to Joomla and I've encountered a problem. On my homepage the article is showing just fine, but all the other modules (except for the menu bar) disappear when I switch to a smaller screen size. On my other pages the article doesn't even show anymore, just the menu bar. I'm using the purity III template. I have no idea what's going on since the settings in the layout of the template indicate that all modules that are showing on a desktop should also be displayed on a mobile device, and I've found no difference in settings in the articles itself. My site.
Thanks for your help!
It sounds like the responsive design hides them on purpose.
Just from a quick peek at your code using inspect element I can see that the class "slideshow hidden-xs" gets a display:none on smaller screen sizes and all of your main content is wrapped in that element. If all of your content is not supposed to be wrapped in that element (which I'm guessing it's not) you're most likely missing a closing tag on a div or something.
Find the missing closing tag (ie: /div, /a, etc) and it will probably solve your problem.
You can update the latest version of Joomla and check again that some problem is coming or not. I yes then download new theme for your website which is compatible with your theme.

I can't get the first modal, in the series of modals, to open

Greeting and thanks for your generosity in providing this wonderful forum,
I'm using jQuery Orbit Slider and Reveal Modal. I setup the slider to include content and within the content are hotlinks to a series of modals.
I can't get the first modal, in the series of modals, to open. It appears the plugin is programmatically generating inline CSS that is overriding my CSS stylesheet. Mainly z-index selector is keeping the first modal hidden (or invisible). The subsequent modals in that series work as intended.
When viewed using Chrome Inspect Console shows the inconsistency please note at "featuredContent10" which is where the slide4 resides (it's actually a background image). The data-reveal-id="slide4-1" is the first one in the series of modals. I did not add the inline styles it's in the reveal.js file.
Unfortunately, I don't know enough about reveal and can't find any information regarding a solution. The information I came away with is to ask for assistance on stackoverflow.com. 99.9% of the time I find solution on my own, however, I'm at a lost and my client likes the features of both plugins. Any help you can give me would be very much appreciated.
If it helps here’s a link to the beta site: http://www.partnershipwithearth.com/thecooperationway-1/
Go to Slide 11 lower left link is the culprit. You'll notice the dialog box and close button do appear without the image (slide4-1).
Your expertise is greatly appreciated

Manipulate Html from Firefox Extension

I am creating a Firefox extension that is somewhat similar to Firebug. There is a panel (or vbox) at the bottom of the browser that allows users to specify colors to certain Html elements. When they click the OK button, I would like these colors to get updated on the current web page.
I have my JavaScript working when I click the button (i am just throwing an alert), however when I change that JavaScript to change the css or styles of an element (by either using document.getElementById or jquery), nothing changes.
Is there something with Firefox extensions that I am missing? Any help is appreciated.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks

You want content.document.getElementById() and similarly for every other construct you use.
