Can FireFox addons maintain state, inspect tab content and have control over the browser independently?

Hello,
I have a question about developing FireFox extensions, i.e., what exactly are they capable of.
I'd like to automate my work on a certain web application, that spans across multiple sub-pages on a single domain (just like a regular website).
Will a FireFox addon be able to control the browser's behavior? I.e. will it be able to follow links and keep its internal state separate from the web document? (E.g. I am pretty sure Google Chrome extensions sometimes restart themselves once the page they were working on is reloaded.)
Basically I would like to create an addon/extension that has some internal state, is able to interact with the web page, and is able to reload the webpage/do whatever it likes in the tab.
Can FireFox addons/extensions do that?

Try to ask advice at the MozillaZine Extension Development forum.

How can i stop firefox from opening a new tab everytime I click anything on the browser

whenever I click or point anywhere on firefox, a new tab will open to http://download-start.com/?aspid=a278a0e56df428562d5072bf6b4dbdeb&SourceId=355&CreativeId=18399430&LineItemId=5734966&PublisherId=619892&SectionId=177555785&ymid=00011da109fa63fd94898b658da047f783b81 and it is so annoying as even clicking on the scroll bar will open this tab. please help me find solution to this. I can't even finish typing this because I had to scroll down to see the full page.

hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by malware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and do a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

I'm not able to close the filefox or any tab in Firefox 28.0 v for sometime. It seems that i don't have control over it. Also if i'm watching any video not able pause it or move forward or use full screen.
While as i'm opening the same like in IE itz working fine.
I'm using firefox from past 5 years. Can u fix it as i temporary moved to chrome.

hello, i'm not sure what filefox is - can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

Maintain new inspection lot origin and assign inspection types

Hi,
I want to Maintain new inspection lot origin and assign inspection types .For Ex: 90, NoRange: 90 DCr :001 ,TL Type : S and Stat : 4 because i want to maintain TL Tpe S- reference operation set.
Please provide me the solution.
Regards,
Niyas.

Hi
As per SAP std You can not create a Inpsection lot origine but you can certainly create a Inspection type.
Just a suggesion..
Try Inspection lot origin: 89 (Misc) NoRange: 90 DCr :001 ,TL Type : S and Stat : 4
and create Inspection type 90 with varient 01/02 in inspection lot origine 01.
This will solve your purpose

Do you have an extension like IE View or IE Tab that opens pages in Firefox sing IE as the rendering engine?

Want to open 2nd tab and have it load the home page which the first tab opens.

Want to open 2nd tab and have it load the home page which the first tab opens. The first tab opens Google's advance search, the second tab opens a blank window. I always want Google to be in a new page.

You can look at one of these extensions:

Tabs won't save when closing the browser

After updating to the latest firefox 33.0.2 it won't save my tabs or automatically reopen them the next time I open firefox. I already checked my settings and they are not the problem.

Does Firefox create a new sessionstore.js file in the Firefox profile folder (i.e. the file has a current time stamp)?
You can check for problems with the sessionstore files (sessionstore.js) files in the profile folder that store session data.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
Current Firefox versions also keep backups in the sessionstore-backups folder.

Above the message in the border was XULRunner

That can happen if the updater wasn't able to update (replace) all the files in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Hi Gazpan,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend using the steps in this article to back up your iPhone if possible:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
You may also find this advice helpful for your situation:
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
If you no longer have your iOS device
If you're using iCloud and Find My iPhone on the device, you can erase the device remotely and remove it from your account by signing in to icloud.com/find, selecting the device, and clicking Erase. When the device has been erased, click Remove from Account.
If you're unable to complete either of the above steps, you should change your Apple ID password. Changing your password won't remove any personal information that is cached on the device, but it will make sure that the new owner can't delete your information from iCloud.
Cheers,
Jeremy

How can i view nikon images in photoshop? i have cs4 so the camera raw plug-in is not an option and i've lost my disk from the initial purchase of the D90.

The NEF file only gives a little "nef" icon. i was able to convert the NEF to DNG on the old computer and then brought the files over to the new computer. On the old computer, the NEF files were depicted as little jpeg's so I would be able to see a picture of what each file represented. On the new computer, both the NEF files and the DNG files are depicted with icons, "nef" or "dng", but not as little pictures. On the new computer, though, I am to import the DNG's into Adobe and edit them so that is working regardless of whether or not a picture is present for the icon of each file. I've downloaded the DNG converter from Adobe and will try the conversion directly on the new computer when I get home from work. I do appreciate your responses and will let you know how it works.
I am curious then, since right now the files are represented by little "nef"'s and little "dng"'s: If I also download the viewNX (spelling might be wrong, sorry) from nikon, do you know if that maintains the file as a RAW format file but allows a picture representation of the RAW file for the icon? (That would make it easier to choose which RAW files I would choose to edit and which to not even bother with as an initial culling if that makes sense.
Cheers.

You iPod has been jail broken. Unfortunately you are on your own here. I can offer that you need to find out which method and software was used to JB.
Good luck...you're gonna need it....

With Apple TV can I play a DVD on my macbook and have it display on my TV

I have Apple TV... have since it came out - but have no clue how to use it. First question... can I put a DVD in my macbook and have it display on my TV wirelessly through Apple TV

With Apple TV you stream content from your iTunes library using homesharing, provided the content is compatible
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4352
You can also use airplay with an IOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4437
Natively you can rent from iTunes and use a few other services like Netflix (varies by location)
As stated above you cannot stream a DVD
