Tosimply take a look at the Firefox source code, you do not need todownload it. You can look at the source directly with your web browserusing Searchfox (start at -central/source forthe complete firefox source code of branch HEAD).
Capability-based web page security management. It contains C++ interfacesand code for determining the capabilities of content based on thesecurity settings or certificates (e.g., VeriSign). See ComponentSecurity .
Implementation of the docshell, the main object managing things relatedto a document window. Each frame has its own docshell. It containsmethods for loading URIs, managing URI content listeners, etc. It is theoutermost layer of the embedding API used to embed a Gecko browser intoan application.
Contains interfaces that abstract the capabilities of platform specificgraphics toolkits, along with implementations on various platforms.These interfaces provide methods for things like drawing images, text,and basic shapes. It also contains basic data structures such as pointsand rectangles used here and in other parts of Mozilla.
Code that implements a tree of rendering objects that describe the typesand locations of the objects that are displayed on the screen (such asCSS boxes, tables, form controls, XUL boxes, etc.), and code thatmanages operations over that rendering tree (such as creating anddestroying it, doing layout, painting, and event handling). Seedocumentation and otherinformation.
The installer, which contains code for installing Mozilla and forinstalling XPIs/extensions. This directory also contains code needed tobuild installer packages. See XPInstall andthe XPInstall projectpage.
Content dispatch in Mozilla. Used to load uris and find an appropriatecontent listener for the data. Also manages web progress notifications.See Document Loading: From Load Start to Finding aHandlerand The Life Of An HTML HTTPRequest.
XPFE (Cross Platform Front End) is the SeaMonkey frontend. It containsthe XUL files for the browser interface, common files used by the otherparts of the mozilla suite, and the XBL files for the parts of the XULlanguage that are implemented in XBL. Much of this code has been copiedto browser/ and toolkit/ for use inFirefox, Thunderbird, etc.
I have tried this several times over a few years, and have never got it to work I know it must be something I am doing wrong because if it was a glitch or bug, it would have been fixed by now. Usually I need to do this if I need to reinstall the OS, (Windows and Linux), or a new pc, the usual, but this time I had a major crash, so I'm starting over.
Anyway I have signed in on my pc to my FF account, and went through the menu to turn on sync, and I get to the page where is says, "when ready click next to display the QR code". I get my android out, open FF, sign in, click the "Scan" button, the FF scanner opens,, I open the QR code on the pc, (I have also went to the website to get a QR code). Then either way I scan the code, and get an errror msg "Must scan from inside FF". I am scanning from inside FF, with the FF QR scanner.
I don't uinderstand how of the 20 or more times I have tried to do this, I can't get it to work. I don't understand how I screw up every times, over a few years. But I also know as I said, if it was a bug MOzilla would have fixed it by now. Usually I give up on that and just log into both the pc and the phone, close both browsers and reopen them and it will go ahead and sync.
But not this time, I am unable to get it to sync for anything. I've been working on this for 3 days now, and at this point I'm confused, I don't remember what I have and have not done. Let me add, and I don't know if this will make a difference, I don't think so, but what do I know? Originally this all started, when I had to reset my password. I tried for 4 days there to get a recovery code to work. (The following is just to describe what I've done, and is not a second question) I had one downloaded, and saved on my pc. But no matter what route I took to go through the reset process, exactly as described in the help file, I never could get a place to enter the code. I read every article I could about it, and finally it seemed easier to just reset the password and resync than try to get the code to work.
@Seburo thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately that is not working either. I called myself pointing that out but I see I didn't. I have made sure the login info is the same on the pc and the phone I'm at a loss.
EDIT: While typing up the below response, it suddenly decided to start working. I messed around in the settings earlier today, a few hours ago, hoping I would trigger something. That didn't work, but it's all good now. I have no idea, just a glitch I guess.
I have logged into sync with the computer and the phone, with the same username and password, but the computer acts like it's not connected to the account. It will not sync no matter what I do. If I go into settings>Sync>Manage your Account, I"m in, I see both my devices, I can do whatever I need to do, change settings (I haven't yet but I can) but when I click "sync now",
Firefox has expression history ( -US/docs/Tools/Web_Console/The_command_line_interpreter#Execution_history) and this would be like adding bookmarks to speed access to selected ones. Is this a common developer activity?
Snippets are very useful for debugging by setting breakpoints and stepping through code one line at a time, analyzing data and server responses, etc. Doing this through console is nearly impossible in my opinion
Today I decided to finally give a chance to Firefox on Android and after installing it I naturally tried to sync my Firefox account on it. I just wanted to make this post to give some feedback on the pairing process.
When you're on the mobile app and click on the "connect to sync" button of the option menu (I'm not 100% sure about the name of this button), the app then asks you to scan a QR code to connect to your account. If you go then on Firefox desktop, click menu, click on your username, and finally on "connect another device..." you will be presented to a QR code and after scanning it with the mobile app you will have the impression that the sync to your account is successful, which is incorrect. I don't know what this process does but if you restart the mobile app and go to the menu you'll see that the app is not connected to your account.
I think it's terribly confusing on the UX side that the "connect another device..." does not do the exact same thing despite also displaying a QR code which lures the user into thinking he's doing something correct.
I know that the app says itself to use
firefox.com/pair but people (including myself obviously) are terribly lazy and will prefer to click 3 times on a button rather than opening the browser address bar and manually typing the correct pairing address.
JavaScript (JS) is a lightweight interpreted (or just-in-time compiled) programming language with first-class functions. While it is most well-known as the scripting language for Web pages, many non-browser environments also use it, such as Node.js, Apache CouchDB and Adobe Acrobat. JavaScript is a prototype-based, multi-paradigm, single-threaded, dynamic language, supporting object-oriented, imperative, and declarative (e.g. functional programming) styles.
JavaScript's dynamic capabilities include runtime object construction, variable parameter lists, function variables, dynamic script creation (via eval), object introspection (via for...in and Object utilities), and source-code recovery (JavaScript functions store their source text and can be retrieved through toString()).
This section is dedicated to the JavaScript language itself, and not the parts that are specific to Web pages or other host environments. For information about APIs that are specific to Web pages, please see Web APIs and DOM.
The standards for JavaScript are the ECMAScript Language Specification (ECMA-262) and the ECMAScript Internationalization API specification (ECMA-402). As soon as one browser implements a feature, we try to document it. This means that cases where some proposals for new ECMAScript features have already been implemented in browsers, documentation and examples in MDN articles may use some of those new features. Most of the time, this happens between the stages 3 and 4, and is usually before the spec is officially published.
Answers some fundamental questions such as "what is JavaScript?", "what does it look like?", and "what can it do?", along with discussing key JavaScript features such as variables, strings, numbers, and arrays.
The object-oriented nature of JavaScript is important to understand if you want to go further with your knowledge of the language and write more efficient code, therefore we've provided this module to help you.
JavaScript frameworks are an essential part of modern front-end web development, providing developers with proven tools for building scalable, interactive web applications. This module gives you some fundamental background knowledge about how client-side frameworks work and how they fit into your toolset, before moving on to a series of tutorials covering some of today's most popular ones.
