Firefox 6 doesn't support Google Web Toolkit add-on so has become useless to me.

Thanks for forcing an upgrade. You need to understand that you will turn people OFF if you force them to upgrade to a platform that is not ready for their full requirements! I can no longer be a Firefox user. Can I go back to my previous version? How?

Looks like the problem is with Google having not released an update yet. See the following link and links within: https://groups.google.com/group/google-web-toolkit/browse_thread/thread/48d34a9fb54af7e6/ddb748430950f08a
Here is a link within that article re: a patch for Firefox 6: https://gwt-code-reviews.appspot.com/1523805/
As Firefox 5.0 and 5.0.1 have unpatched vulnerabilities, I will not provide a link here. Click Inbox at the top right of this forum when you are signed-in to the forum for a message to you.

Where is "Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin for Firefox?"

I can not find this plug in for the version of Firefox I have 3.6.8, even though it already runs with it?
I can not find Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin for Firefox for Firefox 3.6.8 even though I already have Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin for Firefox running on a version of Firefox 3.6.8 on other computers.
# There is no regular information that tells you how to get this plugin as there is with other plugins.
# When GWT Devmode loads the Firefox brower, it says "missing plugin." you click to install, and it can't find it.
# I know that I have previously been able to install Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin for Firefox version 1.0.7511 installed on Firefox 3.6.8 on another machine. But I'm migrating to this one.

Hi richkatz,
I'm on FF3.6.2 and today, I encounter the same problem.
I got the solution by opening the download page in another tab. Then the firefox message switched from "Look for Plugin" to "Autorise FF to install the plugin".
Here is the URL of my new tab, hoping that it works for FF3.6.8 : https://dl-ssl.google.com/gwt/plugins/firefox/gwt-dev-plugin.xpi
Seeya! ;)

Client-side caching of Javascript (for Google Web Toolkit *.cache.* files

Hi all,
I'm trying out the use of Google Web Toolkit (GWT) for AJAX code development, leveraging RPC calling back-end Web Services for a document browser prototype. When the JavaScript code is generated by GWT, it has the ability to automatically distinguish between cacheable and non-cacheable content via file extensions (.cache. and .nocache.).
Now when running in a Tomcat environment with appropriate caching settings; the application runs extremely fast even on really poor latency sites (>500ms round trip); however on a NetWeaver stack, I can't find any information on how to set an attribute on .cache. files to set an expiry of 1 year.
Anyone know how to do this on a NetWeaver J2EE stack?
Thanks,
Matt
PS. For reference, GWT is a very cool open source project worth watching in the Enterprise space for targeted high-usability, high performance apps. Just the image bundles concept themselves are an awesome approach to minimizing impact of small images on performance.

Hi again,
I thought I should post the solution I came up with in case people search on GWT in the future. In terms of caching, the Portal does a good job of making nearly everything that GWT produces to be cached at the client; and for the life of me, I couldn't get nocache files not cached at the client side.
So thanks to my friendly local SAP experts in the portal space; I discovered there's not much you can do to get this working except try use standard browser tags like the following to prevent caching on the browser:
Note - Can't seem to save this post in SDN with Meta tags that I'm trying to display so check out http://www.willmaster.com/library/tutorials/preventing_content_cache.php for more info...
Unfortunately, the way that GWT creates the nocache files, it is not possible to modify the .js files to do this so I needed an alternative approach.
Then I thought, well, the html file that includes the JS file is cached, but it's not very big, so how about I just write a script to modify the html file when I deploy to production to point to the nocache file with a date suffix.
Let me explain in more detail:
1. The original html file that includes the nocache.js file gets modified to point to nocache.<date>.js.
2. The original nocache.js file gets changed to nocache.<date>.js
3. Now produce an external bat file to do this automatically for you before deployment which DevStudio can call as part of an Ant script or similar.
That's it. So when you are developing, you can manually delete your cache, but just before you go to production, you do this conversion, and you will never have an issue with clients having the wrong version of javascript files.
Note - GWT takes care of caching of most of the files by using a GUID equivalenet each time you compile, so it's just a couple of files that really need to not be cached.
Anyway, I'm not explaining this solution very well, but drop us a line if you need to understand this approach further.
And lastly, my feedback about GWT - It Rocks! Everyone loves the result, it's easy to build and maintain, it offers a great user experience, and it's fast. Not a replacement for transactional apps; but for the occasional user - go for it.

Firefox 5 does not support Google Tool Bar

Firefox 5 does not support Google Tool Bar

If it's an extension, it probably still works just fine with Firefox 5.0. However, because of Firefox' poor compatibility design, until Trend Micro releases a new version, you need to install Mozilla's Add-On Compatibility Reporter extension from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/15003 and restart Firefox twice.
Each extension specifies the maximum compatible version, which is probably 4.0 in your case as Firefox did not give devs any time to verify and re-release their extensions for version 5.0.
The Add-On Compatibility Reporter extension basically tells Firefox to ignore the maximum compatible version so the extension can still work on version 5.0, just like it did on 4.0.

Newest Firefox Update doesn't support Wise Stamp 1.3.5

Mozilla 37.0.2 doesn't support WiseStamp 1.3.5 so there is an ongoing missing icon issue in gmail. Can you please provide a fix? I have provided the fix-it link and you will see that an incompatibility notification pops up during download.
See link:http://wisestamp.com/blog/wisestamp-1-3-5-improvements-fixes/

Unfortunately this is a Wisestamp issue, not a Firefox issue. It looks like they are well aware of the issue and working on a fix.

Firefox 5 doesn't support the Google toolbar? That's what Google says. I miss my Google toolbar. Will this be fixed going forwards? Thanks -

I'm just hoping the Google toolbar will eventually be capable of being installed on Firefox 5.

That is up to Google to fix.
The Google Toolbar '''7.1.20110512W''' version works in Firefox 5.0 by using the Compatibility Reporter extension, I tried it myself due to the large number of postings about GTB problems.

Google Web Toolkit (GWT)

I am trying to understand the benefits GWT. Seems like coding Java Script and DHTML by hand or using the JSP/JSF model (any update triggers page reload) is no longer considered good UI design. I see a lot of buzz around the new Google Toolkit Release 1.5 and see more and more books and sites coming out discussing advantages of GWT.
Here is one of many artciles:
http://alan.blog-city.com/gwt_power.htm
I wonder if anyone used GWT and can comment on this technology. Surprisingly, I see very few jobs on Dice.com that mention GWT. But is it something that is going to become very important in the next few months/years as this framework gets better?
To me, the idea of building sophisticated JavaScript interfaces with Java seems very exciting.

which technologies you choose will depend on your requirements
in general, i'd expect that using GWT is better than rolling your own solution
for example, i'd much rather use a toolkit (such as Echo3) than code html, javascript, ajax, xml, etc. when i could be using only 1 API
I will say I hear good things about JSF

Firefox 4 doesn't support mac os 10.4.11, when will it be available? i can't afford a new os system.

this is what i'm getting when i try to use yahoo news:

If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete cookies.sqlite-journal and cookies.txt, if they exist, in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

There won't be any new Firefox versions released for Mac OS X 10.4 and especially not for Macs with a PowerPC processor. 
The Firefox 3.6.x versions are the last Firefox versions that will run on PPC and there won't be many more security updates.
For an unofficial Firefox 4 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

CFC's for GWT (Google Web Toolkit)

Hi All,
Is there any built in CFC's (or) library available to utilse
the GWT Framework?
Regards,
Dav R

GWT's own documentation has a nice tutorial which starts from how to install and goes from there. There are also some FAQs and the API documentation which you may want to come back to. The link itself is a good example of GWT's use.
[roughian.com|http://examples.roughian.com/#Home] offer some on-line code snippets and a free tutorial you can sign up for. I haven't looked at this tutorial - but I have seen useful stuff posted in various places by its author.
The GWT stuff from the recent Google IO conference are at youtube, and there are links to them at [gwtsite.com|http://www.gwtsite.com/]. They include a description of deferred binding, monolithic compilation and how DOM programming and the use of Java types which "overlay" JavaScript objects. I watched these recently and was intrigued.
There's a Google Groups group (not surprisingly). And that would be the best place for GWT information, I imagine.

Firefox 12 doesn't support 1password

Had to uninstall Firefox 12 and go back to an earlier version because 1password program is not supported

hello, it actually works the other way round - extensions that hook into firefox need to adapt their compatibility. on the 1password homepage they offer this version of the extension that also seems to work with firefox 12 and upwards: [https://agilebits.com/extensions/win/index.html] (i just tested if is installing without a problem, not for functionality)

I have a used Mac OSX 10.4.11 in good condition, but I have several concerns. The internet is slow, and doesn't support Google Chrome. Also, when I create excel and word documents, people aren't able to open them on other computers.

Is there a way to upgrade my Mac software without paying a fortune? My main concern is Word and Excel - I need people to be able to open these files as attachments for work purposes. Thanks!

The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available at this time from Apple for $19.99. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list. The App Store which is required to download 10.7 Lion is part of the 10.6.6 update.
If you wait to long and they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already over $100 on Amazon.
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=10.6+snow+leopard&_sacat=0&_odkw=mac+os+10.6 &_osacat=0
You can upgrade from 10.4 straight to 10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.4 should run under10.6. See this list for compatibility with 10.6: http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/ You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc....
And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any Power PC applications http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/ I recently upgraded an older MacBook (model 1,1) straight from 10.4 to 10.6.

After firefox automatic up date my Sothink web video downloader(full version) has stopped working. I have reinstalled the software but still does not work.

About 3 update ago it did the same thing then all of a sudden a new update and it started working again now with the last update it has stopped working again.
Please Help

Ok. I disabled hardware acceleration. The only extension is the McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which was already disabled. I then disabled all plugins (Acrobat, Google Update, Intel Identity Protection (2x), Java Deployment Toolkit, Java Platform, MS Office 2013, Quicktime, Shockwave, Silverlight), which were all up to date.
Normal or safe mode still has same result. No startup, no option button and no customize.
Thanks for your help. Got any other suggestions?

I deleted nodes with the web developer and the deletion has become permanent. How to undo?

I was trying to remove all the "Recommended Pages" etc. garbage on the right-hand side of Facebook and got a little click happy with 'delete nodes' using the Web Dev tools - as cathartic as it was! :)
Now it seems as though I have broken FB on Firefox (seems to work fine on IE, surprisingly) as pics seem to be missing and the left-hand menu as well - but, of course the stuff I was trying to rid myself of comes back just fine ... sigh.
I've read that all changes are supposed to be temporary until you restart the browser but this hasn't helped at all and I did try unchecking the 'Use hardware acceleration when available' that I read somewhere else, to no avail.
Any assistance that can be rendered would be very much appreciated.
For the record, I've learned my lesson and won't futz around with this anymore! :)

For a node deletion in the Inspector tool,revert that by reloading the page. If that isn't working for you, you could try Command+Shift+r to reload the page bypassing the cache.
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
HT > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

I clicked on page source and deleted nodes with the web developer and the deletion has become permanent. Ebay won't load pictures. How to fix?

The problem is on my desktop and my laptop. I got a bit click happy on my desktop computer and hit the Web Developer button. I was trying to delete a really annoying flash ad on the side of the screen. I think I got into page source and deleted the node. I'm truly not sure what happened, but pictures stopped loading for ebay and everything is a worded list down the side of the page. I have deleted cache and cookies. I have reset mozilla. I have uninstalled and reinstalled mozilla. Laptop was not immediately affected, but now having the same problem.

This is a very strange issue. 
No changes made with the web developer tool will save and should be cleared when the page is reloaded.
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back soon.

Firefox 6 doesn't support Google Web Toolkit add-on so has become useless to me.
