How can I trigger an automatic update of firefox for use with selenium?

Firefox auto-update is not working on the server that I am working on. I am only able to update firefox by going to the menu|about page. I want to automate the update of firefox so that before I run my tests every night it will be updated to the newest version.

You normally trigger an update check by opening the Help > About window.
I don't know if you can trigger this action via Selenium.
Otherwise you would have to check the update.xml file to see if updates are available.
The Live Http Headers extension should give the URL after opening the Help > About window.

    How can I upload movies from Sony pj580v camcorder to use with imovie 11?

    Transfer it to your computer and import into iTunes, make sure it's in a compatible format. Then simply sync with the iPad. If you have a camera connection kit and you know the footage is compatible you can connect it directly.

  • How can I confirm the automatic updater of revoked certificates is working?

    There is a
    Microsoft security advisory from a few weeks ago about fraudulent certificates. In the advisory it says it is revoking India's NIC authority certificate and for systems running Windows 7 that are using the automatic updater of certificates that no action
    is needed.
    I don't know if I'm running the automatic updater of certificates. I tried installing the referenced
    KB2677070 but it says "The update is not applicable to your computer." And I don't see it listed as an installed update for this computer.
    I went into certmgr.msc and I don't see India's NIC certificates listed as untrusted.
    I'm running Windows 7 SP1 x64. How can I tell if I'm running the automatic updater of revoked certificates and how can I confirm that it's working? How can I see what certificates the automatic updater has revoked?

    Hi,
    afaik these updates are just coming in over Windows update. Your KB2677070 might be superseeded ba another update, or included in a rollup you installed.
    quote from
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc734054(v=ws.10).aspx : You can verify that the Automatic Root Certificates Update component is working properly by using a Web browser to open a Web site that requires the Automatic Root Certificates Update
    component. When you open this Web site, a new root certificate is downloaded from the Microsoft Windows Update Web site. If the certificate is downloaded successfully, Event ID 1 in the Microsoft-Windows-CAPI2 event source will be written to the event log.
    Note that if not explicitly turned of, the update is attempted and events are logged as described in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc733922(v=ws.10).aspx

  • How can I rollback a automatic update

    I have Thunderbird installed on a OpenSuse computer and it recently did a automatic update that changed some features that I need. Is there a way to roll back the update?

    The full and partial updates (whether it be Thunderbird, Firefox or SeaMonkey) from mozilla.org are only provided to the official builds and not builds built yourself or by a third-party.
    The openSUSE and other Linux distro provided builds have their own ways of package updates in their package manager.
    However if the poster is using Thunderbird for Linux from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ (64-bit Linux is on ftp) then those preferences would be valid and work.
    Nothing is being gutted as it has been this way since forever with third-party builds whether on Windows, Mac OSX and Linux.

  • Firefox 8, Linux--firefox has no toolbar/menu/whatever at the top of the Print Preview page. NO back button. nothing. don't know how I lost it, how can I get it back? other machines I use with firefox 8 don't have this problem.

    somewhere around the time of updating to firefox 8 (I can't be certgain exactly when it was, but I think it was a little while after the update) the print preview screen started showing up with no toolbar at the top, just the window contents and the frame. there's no way to choose "print", or "close print preview" or any other option because there are no options shown.

  • How CAN I setup a custom local DTD to be used with XERCES

    Hi,
    can anyone help?
    I have to use a local DTD with XERCES which should be always used ("overwrite" the one specified in DOCTYPE if it exist, or should be used if no DOCTYPE is specified)
    I can not use EntityResolver because resolveEntity() is not called if there is no DOCTYPE specified.
    Also I can not use XSD because I have only DTD rules.
    Thanks,
    Cristian

    Thanks for your reply,
    what about using XERCES XNI?
    I could load a Grammar, as specified in the sample file xni.XMLGrammarBuilder from XERCES-J 2.8.1 samples, but I couldn't find a possibility to force it to be used with any document.
    Do you know? is it any possibility to do it?

  • How can I know which IP port is free for use?

    I am doing a internet project that the sender need to send voice at a port and receive the voice from another port.
    I want to assign the port to the send function and receive function automatically, so I want to use some API to determine which port in local machine is free and assign that one for the function.

    If you bind to port 0 the system will assign the next available port to you.

  • Can someone suggest an affordable external hard drive for use with FCPX and video editing on my Macbook Pro Retina

    I have a Macbook Pro Retina from 2012 and I only got the 250GB hard drive.  I'm getting ready to purchase a Panosonic HC-X920 to use with Final Cut Pro X already installed on my laptop.  Since I know the file sizes are going to be so big, can anyone suggest an affordable external drive fast enough to keep up with editing the video?  I'm not a pro and use it for family and personal projects. 
    I prefer some thunderbolt options since I haven't had a chance to use the inputs since I got my macbook pro. I just don't know what is necessarily too little or too big and too cheap and too expensive for my needs.  Thank you.  

    OWC is a Mac specialist and a very trustworthy vendor.  I have dealt with them and their technical stall on many occasions.  Hence you may look at what they offer and be assured that they will stand behind what they sell:

    I suspect that for your needs, a 1 TB drive is going to be the minimum.

  • How can I create an automatically updating date in my template?

    I've created a template using Pages 5 for Mac, but I want to include a date in the header which shows the date the document was created. I've noticed that this is possible with the default Apple-designed templates included with Pages. I know that I can insert a date by going to Insert › Date & Time, but this only shows the date the template was created, and not the current date (I also know that you can click on the date and select 'Go to Today', but I often forget and it's a hassle).
    Does anyone know if this is possible?

    Matthew,
    It does appear that the auto update of Date and Time is gone. If you click on the calendar icon associated with the date object, you can update all instances of Date in your document at once. If that's not good enough, you can Insert a table, one with no headers or footers, shrink it to one cell, set borders to none, and insert the formula:
    =TODAY().
    Format the cell to display the date and time as  you wish.
    Alignment can be a problem with inline tables, so you could add an entire sentence in that cell by writing:
    ="Date printed: "&=TODAY()
    Here's an example with the table Selected...
    and here is what it will look like after formatting..
    Now if you move this table to the Section Master, it will appear on each page.

  • How can I delete an automatic update that won't download?

    Hi, 
    I've just intalleld OS X Mavericks only to find that the iMovie upgrade will not download because my vido card is not the right one (too old).  I was told I cannot replace a video card. 
    What I really want to do is delete the upgrade from the App Store so the red number 1 is not forever in the way, bothering me.  I found one solution which doesn't work because the upgrade will not even try to download, the 'can't do it' dialog comes up before I can press any option and x keys.
    Can somebody please advise.  As my Mac gets older, I figure this will be a growing problem and I can't be the only one who cannot afford a new compj\uter every couple of years.

    Deleting the App Store app from the Dock is not really a solution though is it? This issue has nothing to do with whether you have auto-updates on or not either.
    The problem is worse than just the red badge on the app's icon in the Dock, the problem is every time you go to the App Store Updates section to manually install updates -- to other apps, OS X, or whatever, that **** iMovie app is still sitting there waiting to be updated too. You can't really use the "Update All" button now because that will also try to update iMovie, again.
    Surely there must be some way to remove the iMovie app from the Updates section of the App Store? I thought hiding/removing it from the Purchases section of the App Store would do that, but it doesn't. It looks like a bug in that the App Store doesn't realise the update is incompatible with the hardware until after you click the Update button. It should know up front that it isn't compatible with this machine and not show it.

  • I am going to update my PC to windows 7 (from XP), how can i backup my current version of firefox and use it on the updated OS?

    since support for XP is done and continued use puts my PC at risk, I am going to install Windows 7. I want to know how i can do a full back up of my current version of Firefox and then run it on the updated OS; i have lots of add-ons that I don't want to lose and then have to go through the whole process of reinstalling and customizing.
    (currently running Firefox v28.0)

    It would be best to be cautious with copying a full profile folder from Windows XP to Windows 7 as the file structure is completely different.

  • How can I add a Last Update to a web page with a web app.

    I would like to know how to update a webpage whenever a web app item has been added or updated last.
    I have the tag {tag_lastupdatedate}  but it only works is only for the web app list or details page.
    I want to be able to add the date and time as to when the entire list was last updated. Any suggestions? thanks!

    Hi DLSAgency,
    There is a module called {module_lastupdated} and it will display the date when the web page it's on has been last updated, but there is no module that will display when the web app list inside that page was last updated. There no such functionality in BC.
    Cheers,

  • How can I undo the last update of Firefox?

    Yesterday March 2, 2011, Firefox updated itself....Now I can't play Pogo games....I want to undo the update and remove the new Adobe reader Firefox said I needed so that I can play Pogo games again....everything was fine until the update.

    Mozilla are aware of the issue in Firefox 3.6.14 and are working on a fix, no timescale but they are planning on a quick release. Firefox 3.6.15 will fix the issue with some Java applets not working, which has caused many Pogo games to stop functioning.
    You can get Firefox 3.6.13 from http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.13/win32/en-US/

  • How can I turn off automatic hyperlinks in Pages for OSX Mavericks?

    Hi - I'm getting really bugged that Pages (5.2) in OSX Mavericks (10.9.2) keeps automatically making hyperlinks of any web address in a document, and even if I've edited the link to delete it, the link later reappears. I want to turn this off by default. I can't find a way to stop this and I'm getting very frustrated! Thanks!

    And, in a way, it's worse than that, as I'm coming to iWork as a new user with my first Mac, having not used 09, or any other version before. However, I'm also using M$ Office (2011), which is much much better on OSX than (2013) on Win7. Having said that, and to be fair to Apple, the experience of moving to a Mac from 21 years of DOS/Windoze use has, generally speaking, been an absolute revelation and has made PC use a pleasure again. Windoze 8 finally pushed me over the edge. A few weird menu placings is a small price to pay...

  • How can I export or convert to AVI file for use on PC?

    I know I did this back in Jan 2009 but can't remember the process to get an AVI file that retains the sound. I thought I exported a SWF and then somehow converted it to an AVI.
    *The file:*
    *Retains sound, builds and movement.*
    *Automatically advances, using "control p" to pause (did not retain the click-to-advance feature).*
    I've been reviewing third party software but they seem to all state that the won't retain the sound/builds etc.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    The simplest way is to export as QT and then open the QT using Quick Time Player. If you've got pro you can export as .avi.
    There are videos on youtube showing you how to upgrade to QT Pro for free...
