Page Load

2009-08-22T10:33:59Z

Hi,

I am developing a Firefox extension:

I want to detect page loads and store page urls.

I can catch them using "DOMContentLoaded" or more better way by using
addProgressListener to browsers.
There is small problem when loading urls which auto redirect to other
site. I need to skip these pages. How can I find out if this is a

or get your brains on the keyboard and develop customized

Hello,

I'm quite new to javascript and know just enough to confuse
myself. ;) I have an extension that for the most part works, it does
what I want it to but I'm having a problem having it run in a constant
loop. The extension just writes the time to a file. There is no ui,
and I can't seem to find any examples for extensions without a ui. I

SQLite of extensions

2009-07-23T19:38:13Z

Hi, im developing a new extension for firefox that will be using
sqlite database.

Is there a way to query that database outside of my extension? I'm
worried about that firefox users of my extension would be able to log
on that file and change its contents. I'm sorry if this question is
too dumb, I'm new to sqlite and firefox addon development.

auto privacy extension request

2009-04-27T16:28:20Z

A parental control add-on knows what sites are adult (ProCon Latte)
and a privacy mode add-on does not save browsing data (Stealther). You
can manually not save adult site browsing data, but if you forget it
once, you will have to erase all history. I deleted a folder that was
going to show me my most visited sites, I can't use an add-on that

2009-01-20T02:10:17Z

Right-clicking to get the "note this" option to store information in

notebook while it is minimized. I prefer to keep the notebook
minimized so that it doesn't take up space on the screen, so it's

Google sync's death

2009-01-07T15:53:14Z

I held out with 2.0.0.20 Foxfire so I could have my favorite add-ons.
Jan. 1, however, I had to face up to it. I installed Firefox 3 and set
my Foxmarks to also sync password. So far it has worked OK. I also
recommend MozBackup, it has helped fix things, set up Firefox on a new
computer with same extensions, etc. It does passwords, too.

I'm with Flynn on this one. Now that Google Browser Sync is driving
home the point on each launch that it will not work after this month,
I'm eager to find something that will do session restoring/sharing
(which, of course, implies bookmark syncing, cookie syncing, password
syncing, and so on).

Hello,

There are many difficulties in using Internet Explorer.But we were now
very ok using Mozilla Firefox.I think finding weak point to currently
browsers is more reasonable for us instead of developing new
browser.And later this step we should try to approach creating a new
browser.

Viable replacements?

2008-08-18T22:09:33Z

So they've killed browser sync. That sucks, but it is what it is. Now
it's time to find a replacement. Google suggests a few things, Mozilla
Weave for example, but few are as feature rich. Personally, I use
GMarks for bookmarking anyway, so that's not an issue. And as I have a
PC and a Mac, syncing 100% of my plugins isn't possible or necessary.

I too relied heavily on GBS. And was terribly disappointed when it
was discontinue. However, I have installed FoxMarks which provides
similar service and has become a transparent alternative to GBS. Give
it a try. It might do just what you are in need. And, if/when GBS is
opened and someone takes it over, you can go back.
