My firefox has no command line
My firefox has no command line, or any other web developer tools, for that matter. In the Web Developer menu, the only tool I have is page source. I have re-installed firefox several times, and installed the different channels, but still no dice.
Did you try Safe Mode?
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/
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.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

How I can set my default browser mozilla firefox from the command line in Windows 7?
I need to set my default browser mozilla firefox from the command line, ie without using the GUI.
'''-setDefaultBrowser''' is the correct command - you need the two capital letters.

Is it possible to script Firefox to do things from the command line?
Specifically, I am attempting to print a web page at a specific url from the command line.
Thanks for the quick reply. I had already seen the page you linked to, but it doesn't have any commands to print a web page. Should I interpret from that absence that there isn't a way to print from Firefox from the command line?

Apologies if this has been asked before: If I launch firefox from the command line with a url to render, is there a way to get the output redirected to a file? Can you show an example?
Sounds odd, can you post some code exhibiting this behavior?

Picture Manager with command line for Bat files
Hello
I am wondering if Microsoft Picture manager has any command line switches i could use.
I resize thousands of photos weekly using Picture manager for a semi automated process. The resize is the part that is not automated. For some reason when using image magik the resize is done but it does not accept some images where i upload them, yet if
i do it in parallel with Office picture manager the Microsoft re-sized always work.
The process uses VB Access, downloads all images changes the extension from one card extensions to jpg and ammends the name. sorts the images to two folders.
Then i resize as a batch manually. Not difficult but needs hands on and have you tried changing the dimensions in picture manager when all are selected. tedious!
Then the final bat uploads to correct locations.
So my question, how to use command line with Microsoft picture manager. If not command line Powershell. I can not beleive that the program can not be opened specifying a folder and resize image dimension to use. I cant see the source code where i believe
it would be apparent to me how to do so.
Thank you
Sometimes the answer is so blindingly obvious i fail to see!I have done it before on BOXI R2 with the IW, and it works fine
But any how, this is the way that we have to work with, since it is part of a customer product and the link universe and it's reports is an additional part of the product.
So is there a way that I can pull just the main universe and it's reports? -
Hello,
I'm making a program that has a command line interface. I am trying to make this work in a TextArea, however this is not an easy task as it is for a TextField. I can not get the TextArea to get the command on the cursor line. The program should work like this in the TextArea.
TX_Cli> read address 90000 //(command to be stored in a string)
got read address 9000 command, sending.....
recieved packet address 90000 has A5A5FFFF
TX_Cli>
Is this even possible, I have tried using key listeners but they don't work since the enter (\n) is a valid character in a TextArea. Should I try and use some other method besides TextArea... I really want to use the TextArea or JTextArea since I am using this with other parts of my code right now.. code. (i tried what the last guy posted but I
could not get it to work, by the way, thank you first
guy.)Arg. That's because I posted the wrong code. This is what you want
There is even sample code in the main method. This should fix your problem with delete/etc
The one I posted before can be useful if you want to make a textarea show System.out or err.

How can I load PCL font using command line?
We have a software that requires a signature font to be uploaded to the printer beforehand. if the printer power cycles, the font is lost and paper is wasted. This usually happens when a brown out occurs overnight.
Our font vendor has a command line windows software that can upload the font to the printer. It costs 100.00.
I'd really love to find a way to upload this file using linux. The page is generated on linux so i could incorporate the command into that process.
Anyone know of free software to do this on linux or windows? or maybe programming documentation?i think i found the answer on another site
http://mdn.morovia.com/kb/Download-Select-Remove-PCL-Fonts-10002.html
Configuration 2: Network Printer Server
When the printer is connected to a TCP/IP network directly, the best method is to send commands through lpr command. A TCP/IP device may be identified with a full qualified DNS name, or an IP address. In our test lab, we assigned our network printer a fixed IP address 192.168.1.22, and we use this address in the examples below. Inlpr manual page, it is also referred as Printer Name.
Another name you will need is Queue Name. The queue names are names assigned to the “processors” in the print server. Many print servers and network printers hardcode their queue names. Some allow you to define your own queue. On HP JetDirect printer servers, the raw PCL queues are named as raw, raw1, raw2 and raw3. In this article we use rawas the queue name.
Note thatlpr command only accepts 1 file at a time. However, the step1 and step2 commands must be sent in one stream, otherwise the printer discards them altogether. As a result, you will need to merge those three files into one first. On Windows, you can use copy command:
copy /b C80D.txt +mrvcode39_4pitch.sfp +c5F.txt total.bin
On Linux/Unix platforms, use cat command:
cat c80D.txt mrvcode39_4pitch.sfp c5F.txt > total.bin
Now we can send these files (Windows):
lpr -S 192.168.1.22 -P raw -ol total.bin lpr -S 192.168.1.22 -P raw -ol data.txt
You need to replace the IP address, the queue name and the file name with the appropriate ones in your environment.
On Linux/UNIX platforms, things are more complicated. The configuration varies from platform to platform. Generally you need to set up the printer first. On RedHat Linux, this can be done using printtool. You assign a printer name (queue name) in the configuration, and you use this name in lpr command. Assume that the name is HPPrinter, the lpr command on RH Linux becomes:
lpr -P HPPrinter -o raw total.bin lpr -P HPPrinter -o raw data.txt -
Hiding serverargs userid and/or ifrun60 command line arguments
I am running Forms 6i applications via the web using 6i Forms Services (on windows 2000). All my applications work properly.
Problem: How to secure the username and password (userid) when launching a form over the web.
The HTML that launches a Form on the web contains the 'serverArgs' parameter that contains all information required as seen here:
<PARAM NAME="serverArgs" VALUE="module=run.fmx userid=user/pass@SID">
I need to know how I can hide the userid. I need to log the user directly into the application because it is integrated with an existing servlet based application. What I don't want is the userid and password sitting in their browser cache - this is a major security problem. Is there a way of hiding/dealing with the password?
Here's another angle that might solve the same problem: I recall reading somewhere that the ifrun60 (or whatever your runtime is) has a command line upper limit of 255 or so characters. I also remember (I think) that you can avoid this problem by putting your arguments into a file that the forms runtime will read. Is this possible and if so, how is it done? I figure if this is possible, I can solve my initial problem by specifying a file to read the username/password from (located on the server) in the 'serverArgs' parameter (above). I am assuming of course that the serverArgs parameter expects the exact same inputs as that of the runtime.
Any information relating to either issue would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt.After reading into the changes in patchset 6, upgrading and expecting to use this functionality I was terribly disappointed. It seems that if I wanted to use the Servlets (that were included with patchset 6) to hide the userid and password, I need to install 9iAS!! What's the point? So the solution is to upgrade to forms 9i and that there is no solution for 6i.
Instead of installing 9i, I attempted to hack away at the jar's that included the servlets that would solve my problems. I managed to get them up and running (the servlets) without installing 9i but didn't finish making them launch Forms 6i programs themselves. I assume that it is entirely possible to do so, but you need to really know your way around an application server.
The answer to my question is that there is no way for Forms 6i (running on the 6i Forms Services) to properly hide the userid/password string. In 9i Forms Services, this is definately possible, but in order to run 9i Forms Services, you need to install 9iAS Enterprise Edition... In my case, 9iAS EE is way more than I wanted. It contains way too much extra functionality that I wasn't prepared to use and is way too large. Having Forms Services as a separate component (as it was in 6i) was a much better solution.

Add cookies via command line on MacOSX?
Hello all,
Is there a simple way to add cookies to Firefox externally? As in is it possible to add cookies to Firefox via the command line on Mac OSX? Is there a way of running Javascript in Firefox via the command line, because if there is than I can use Javascript to add the cookie? I know you can open a website in Firefox via the command line, but I cant seem to run Javascript from the command line.
Thanks!
AdamI don't think that you can do this via the command line.<br />
You would have to use an SQLite manager program to edit the cookies.sqlite database file.
You can also look at these extensions for some inspiration if you want to write your own extension:

Windows users keep getting prompted about java version being insecure and are advised to disable the plugin. They then complain that java based websites no longer work. Can I disable / prevent this warning feature. And can I re-enable java plugin via command line or script? I need to do this on a large scale and various versions of firefox. Right now I will need to abandon firefox if I cannot easily resolve this. Yes I realize updating to latest version of java is a solution... but this will take too much time now and how long before another security fix for java and then I will have to update yet again.
Tylerdowner, to say that Firefox 3.6 is no longer supported is not an answer. Apparently, the so-called block deployed for the Mac OS X version of Firefox, created to deal with a vulnerability in Oracle's Java, has now crept into the Windows version. Moreover, it is blocking the latest version of Java, which was not intended according to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=741592. The official text of the block follows:
Java Plugin has been blocked for your protection.
Why was it blocked?
Outdated versions of the Java plugin are vulnerable to an actively exploited security issue. All Mac OS X users are strongly encouraged to update their Java plugin through Software Update, or disable it if no alternatives are available. For more information, please read our blog post or Oracle's Advisory.
Who is affected?
All Firefox users who have installed the Java plugin, JRE versions below 1.6.0_31 or between 1.7.0 and 1.7.0_2.
What does this mean?
Users are strongly encouraged to disable the problematic add-on or plugin, but may choose to continue using it if they accept the risks described.
When Mozilla becomes aware of add-ons, plugins, or other third-party software that seriously compromises Firefox security, stability, or performance and meets certain criteria, the software may be blocked from general use. For more information, please read this support article.
Well, whoever wrote the code to block the Java plug-ins specified above screwed up, since it is blocking even the updated Java plug-in.
I have an enterprise with many computers, and we had deployed Firefox as our browsing platform. Based on the latest decisions at Mozilla, new version numbering, forced release cycle, and almost all add-on vendors just walking away from the maintainence nightmare created by this decision, I guess it's time to move over to the Dark Side and adopt Google Chrome. -
Firefox 15 crashing when started from Command line in Windows 15
I have been loading my work space via a batch file everyday for the past 4 years.
One of the apps I start is Firefox using the following command:<br />
@start /D"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\" firefox.exe
My batch file would run, and close with no issue.
As of Firefox 15, using the same command now ties Firefox to the console.
When I close the console, Firefox closes, when I open it again from the standard shortcut, I get the "Firefox has crashed"
I also notice that since upgrading to Firefox 15, some console.log calls go to the Windows Console while firefox is loading. Most notably is HTTPSEverywhere.
When I rolled back to Firefox 14, the issue disappearedHi,
I'm really sorry to have caused this regression.
Thanks for reporting this issue, I've done various tests before submitting my patch but I totally missed that issue...
It is now matter of getting my fix reviewed and landed, but in the meantime, I tried to craft an addon that would hopefully fix your issues.

I know how to configure Firefox so that it opens multiple tabs every time you open ''Firefox''. I want it to open multiple tabs when I start ''Windows''. Or in other words, I don't want to connect to multiple web pages every time I open a browser, just the first time I log on for the day.
I tried appending the web sites in the command line of a Firefox shortcut in my Windows Startup folder. The problem is that in this approach, you're limited to as many URL's as you can type in about 204 characters ('C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe' uses up 52 of the 256 characters available in a shortcut).
Is there a way to open more tabbed web sites than that?
What would be cool is if there was something like a FFstartup.ini file or something, where you could provide a list of websites as long as you want, and it would open them all. So, the command line would look like:
'C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe' 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\FFstartup.ini'
...and the FFstartup.ini file would look like:
[Startup]
'http://www.yahoo.com'
'http://www.google.com'
'http://www.firefox.com'
etc...
If there's no current way to do this, how would I make this suggestion to be developed?
Thank you!Use a .bat or .cmd file to start Firefox if you need more space than the target line in a shortcut allows.<br />
Separate the URLs with spaces.

Command line switch for silent install (-ms) no longer works for Firefox 35.0
In previous versions of Firefox, I've downloaded the full installer from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ and created a silent install package using the command line-
"FirefoxSetup35.0.exe" -ms /INI="configuration.ini"
drop the -ms and it installs (albeit not silently)
drop the /INI and it fails
that would indicate that the problem is the -ms switch. Any ideas?I found the related bug (looks like it will be fixed in Firefox 23)
