Javascript-based multi-parameter bookmarks not working in firefox 13

I have a [http://lifehacker.com/240552/firefox-tip--how-to-set-up-multi+parameter-keyword-searches javascript-based multiparameter bookmark]. Think of it like this: use a keyword to call in the search, then put in two parameters (say, zip code and type of forecast) and it goes straight to the page (my zip code, 7-day. or parents' zip code, hourly) in one shot.
It's sometimes stopped working recently, and I think it's been since I upgraded to FF13. By 'not working' i mean I can restore the bookmark;s "location" to what used to work, and then the shortcut works just fine until .... I don't know. Usually closing firefox and reopening it again and then trying to use the bookmark will cause the browser to just sit there with the entire javascript string in the subject bar.

From my observations, it seems that it doesn't work on newly opened tabs, tabs where you didn't visited a single site. After I visited one random site on that tab, and entered the search keyword and parameters, it worked. It also works on the initial start page, because it's about:blank I guess.
(firefox 13.0.1, linux)

  • Javascript functions to control QuickTime not working in Firefox

    I am using the provided Javascript functions to control QuickTime (7.6.2); however, the functions are not working in Firefox (3.0.11), whereas they are working in Safari (4.0.1).
    I create a QuickTime Player, as follows:
    QT_WriteOBJECT('Music.mp3', '0', '0', '', 'AUTOPLAY', 'True', 'KIOSKMODE', 'True', 'CONTROLLER', 'False', 'LOOP', 'False', 'obj#id', 'qtp', 'emb#name', 'qtp', 'emb#id', 'qtpID', 'ENABLEJAVASCRIPT', 'True', 'SHOWLOGO', 'False', 'VOLUME', '256');
    The Music.mp3 file starts playing in both Safari and Firefox; however, the Javascript functions to control that playing work only in Safari, not in Firefox.
    Examples of QuickTime functions that work in Safari, but not in Firefox:
    document.qtp.Stop();
    document.embeds[0].GetRate();
    document.embeds["qtp"].GetTime();
    document.embeds["qtpID"].GetQuickTimeVersion();
    The GetRate and GetTime functions always return a "0" in Firefox, the Stop command is ineffectual in Firefox, and the GetQuickTimeVersion function aborts the Javascript code in Firefox.
    Any ideas what's happening?

    Dave, what you have done is very similar to what I have done, with the following exceptions:
    1. I'm using the regular HTML version of QT_WriteOBJECT rather than the XHTML version.
    2. My first parameter is an .mp3 file rather than a .mov poster in combination with an 'href'.
    3. I'm not using some of your parameters, such as, 'target', 'targetcache', 'scale', 'href', and 'name'.
    4. Instead of 'name', I'm using --- 'obj#id', 'qtp', 'emb#name', 'qtp' --- which allows me to then reference the QuickTime functions as --- document.qtp.Play(); document.qtp.Stop(); --- etc.
    5. I'm not creating HTML buttons as player controls; rather I am using my javascript program to detect and control the player operation with functions such as --- document.qtp.GetRate(); document.qtp.GetTime(); document.qtp.GetDuration(); document.qtp.SetVolume(); document.qtp.SetMute(); document.qtp.Play(); document.qtp.Rewind(); document.qtp.Stop() --- etc.
    6. I change my .mp3 files using --- document.qtp.SetURL();
    7. All my javascript is contained in an iWeb HTML snippet using an iframe.
    Essentially, I've created a jukebox with button images of album covers that can be visually scrolled and then clicked to play an album via the HTML onClick, onMouseOver, and onMouseOut functions.
    This all works without a hitch in Safari; however, in FF, NN, and Opera, it only works if the iframe is completely visible on the screen. It can't be scrolled offpage, and the HTML album cover buttons in the iframe cannot be dimensionless, hidden, or blocked from view.
    I really think it's the iframe that is causing this behavior in all the browsers (except Safari).
    BTW, as an aside, I don't have a Windows machine, but no one I know using IE on a PC has been able to get my QuickTime Player working. I think it's because, when I want to collapse an album cover, I set its width to '1px' ('0px' works only in Safari), but I think IE may require a minimum width of '2px'. I have not tried changing my image widths to '2px' yet.

  • Bookmarks not working in multi-document PDF application

    Why are bookmarks not working in multi-document PDF application when uploaded to the web? We created a multi-document PDF application. All bookmarks and links work on our systems. All work on the customer's system. They do not work when uploaded to the customers website. Their IT department says its an issue of relative vs. absolute addressing. We've created applications like this for years without running into this issue. Can't find anything about it in Acrobat Help. Can anyone help or lead me to help? Thx much, Sandy

    Have you tried opening the file in your browser to see if the bookmarks are working?  To open the file in your browser you need to do this:
    1) Launch your favorite browser;
    2) File >> Open >> Select your pdf file
    See this picture to see what I am talking about.  You might need to click on it to magnify it:

    Hi all
    Why Dynamic Parameter is not working, when i create report XI using stored procedure ?
    Only i shaw those parameters which i used in my stored procedure, the parameter which i create dynamic using stored procedure
    is not shown to me when i referesh the report for viewing the results.
    I have used the same procedure which i mention below but can not seen the last screen which is shown in this .
    ============================================================================================
    1. Select View > Field Explorer2. Right-click on Parameter Fields and select New from the right-click menu.3. Enter u201CCustomer Nameu201D as the name for your parameter4. Under u201CList of Valuesu201D select u201CDynamicu201D5. Under the Value column, click where is says u201Cclick here to add itemu201D and select Customer Name from the drop-down list. The dialog shown now look like the one shown below in Figure 1. Click OK to return to your report design.
    Dynamic Parameter Setup6. Next, select Report > Select Expert, select the Customer Name field and click OK.7. Using the drop-down list beside select u201CIs Equal Tou201D and using the drop-down list, select your parameter field (it should be the first field). 8. Click OK to return to your report design and see the parameter dialog.The parameter dialog will appear and show you a dynamic list of values that is updated each time your run your report. It couldnu2019t be easier! In our next tutorial, we will be looking at how to use this feature to create cascading parameter fields, where the values are filtered by the preceding selection.
    Dynamic Parameters in Action
    My question is that whether dynamic parameter is working with storedprocedure or not.
    When i added one table and try to fetch records using dyanmic prameters. after that i am not be able to find the dynamic parameter option when i referesh my report.
    One more thing when i try the static parameter for my report, the option i see when i referesh the screen.
    Please reply soon , it's urgent
    Regards

    Hi Kishore,
    I have tested the issue step by step by following you description, while the first issue works well in my local environment. Based on my research, this can be caused by the lookup expression or it indeed return Male value based on the logic. If you use the
    expression below, it will indeed only return the Male record. So please try to double-check the record in the two datasets and the expression in your environment:
    =lookup(first(Fields!ProgramID.Value,"DataSet1"),Fields!ProgramID.Value,Fields!Gender.Value,"DataSet2")
    As to the second issue, please try to use the following expression:
    =Count(Lookup(fields!ProgramID.value,fields!ProgramID.value,fields!Gender.value,"DataSet2"))
    Besides, if this issue still exist, in order to trouble shoot this issue more efficiently, could you please post both the .rdl  file with all the size properties to us by the following E-mail address?  It is benefit for us to do further analysis.

  • The multi-tabs is not working all the time. Windows7 Firefox 4.0.1 I have the correct opetions set for multi-tabs.

    The multi-tabs is not working. I have the correct options set for multi-tabs. But when I open Firefox and try to add a site from Bookmarks it uses the same tab that is opened.

    Right click a tab and you will get the option to bookmark all tabs. Or use keyboard '''Alt + B''' which opens the old style menu. You can make changes to Firefox, as explained in this post: [/questions/799856#answer-155765]

  • Date parameter does not work in SharePoint 2010 report using SQL 2008 Server Reporting Service

    Here is the settings:
    SharePoint 2010 with SQL server 2008 reporting services configured
    When create a report for a SP list using SQL server report builder (3.0) the date parameter does not work.
    The data parameter is set as "date and time" type and field name equals the col name in the SP list
    When run the report, the whatever dates I select, the result is always the same, so the parameters do not take any effect.
    Is any step missing?
    Thanks for any advice !

    Hi ,
    How did you configure you "date and time" type parameter and field name equals the col name in the SP list?
    Have you tested if other type parameter worked?
    Have you tried typing the date format as 20140722 in your date parameter filed before run the report?

  • Javascript "Play Video" button not working in Firefox

    When clicking on "play video" (java), QuickTime will not open while using firefox. It does work in Google Chrome and IE. I have tried using a clean user profile & allowing popups, and I made sure the Java and QuickTime addons were working and up to date.
    The problem is with twit.tv/twit. Clicking the "Live" link on google.com does play the live stream, but the actual Java buttons are not working in Firefox.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://twit.tv/twit

    Make sure that you do not block [[JavaScript]]
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

    Hello Brenda,
    How did you check: after uploading to a LMS?
    You have to be aware of the fact that a slide will be marked as 'viewed'
    only when the playbar has played the whole slide till the end. If you do
    pause slides with a click box, button, TEB and attach the action 'Go to
    Next slide' or something similar instead of the default action 'Continue'
    this will not happen and the slide will not be marked as completed.

  • Multi touch gestures not working in mountain lion?

    Any one else having problems with their multi gesture trackpad not working when you wake your notebook from sleeping with Mountain Lion? If I restart it fixes it but once it falls asleep it stops working again.

    I've been having the same problem.  When my MBP would wake from sleep any touch gestures that used more than two fingers would not work.  I also had the issue where the MBP would forget the wireless network when it woke from sleep.  I found this answer on another thread and it worked on both issues for me.

  • CR2008 . Net App - Parameters and Parameter Panel Not working

    Post Author: cehowski
    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    I have a CR2008 report with one parameter, which works fine when running it in CR2008.  I have an app developed in VS2005 (which should have been updated when I installed Crystal and re-built the app).  The new "Sort Labels" work fine, so the Viewer should be OK (the right version).  When I open the report in the app, the parameter does not modify the report in anyway, whether a new value is added when it first opens, or I try to change the value using the Parameter panel after it is opened.  I've tried Saving with and without data, discarding saved data on refresh, and one or two other properties that seemed like they might have an effect.  None of them did.  Everything works fine within CR2008 - it is only in VS2005, using the Version 12 viewer, that the parameter does not work (all records are returned by the way).
    Any ideas will be appreciated.

  • After "upgrading" from trial to FCPX 10.0.3 multi cam does not work

    After "upgrading" from trial to FCPX 10.0.3, multi cam does not work anymore. Everything was fine in the trial version, but now the multicam clip I made in trail is shown, but not with the 4 windows, only the first angle can be seen. And I can not find (import) the cuts I made in the trail. The settings are the same in both versions. Am I missing something? Is it possible that I have to start from scratch and all work is lost?
    When I double click the multi cam clip I see all four angles in the timeline, one underneath the other... 
    Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

    There is an excellent podcast tutorial series called "Creative COW Final Cut Help Tutorials Podcast (SD)"
    in the iTunes Store.
    The latest three are video podcasts and go into great depth concerning the new Multicam in 10.0.3
    Can't recommend them enough.

  • Multi touch pad not working Dell XPS

    The multi touch features on my touchpad are not working on Firefox 9.0.1. Dell XPS L702X with Synaptics PS/2 TouchPad. Multi touch works on all other programs, including IE. While attempting to use multitouch, for example scrolling, the icon changes to show that it is working - but it is not.

    Silly question....
    Has the trackpad been turned off by any chance? A lot of laptops come with a button you press or hold to turn the trackpad itself off (or may be a function button using the F keys)

It's working fine with all the browser and with Firefox 3.6.0. But It does not working with firefox higher version like 9.0 and above. I have gone through the various forum to check the solution and being unlucky to found any.
    Can you plese help to identifying the solution for the same.

    Thanks for your quick comeback. What I found is the bug is in my js file which has fire event function to init click MouseEvents (event.initEvent). The event.initEvent has some conflicts with higher version of Firefox 9.0 and above.
    // evObj.initEvent( evt, true, false); if I change parameter to evObj.initEvent( evt, true, true); it works fine. the last parameter.
