Replacing Firefox plugin's functions in Safari

I'm switching from Firefox to Safari as I'm about to buy an iPhone and want my bookmarks to sync. I like the functions that some Firefox plugins offer, however, and was wondering if there was anyway to have similar features in Safari:
-Foxmarks: Free online syncing and storage of bookmarks (I know .Mac offers that feature, but I'd prefer not to pay for it)
-AdBlock Plus: Blocking ads on websites (does Saft offer that function?)
-ForecastFox: Puts the weather forecast in the statusbar
-Googlepedia: Shows the most relevant Wikipedia entry when you do a search on Google
Thanks!

Hi
Foxmarks - other than .Mac, 3rd party application Bookdog may offer you something similar to what you see in Firefox.
AdBlock - best ad block for Safari (other than Safari 3 Beta) is PithHelmet. Much more functional in this realm than SAFT.
ForecastFox - nothing in Safari
Googlepedia - nadda, although Inquisitor is a very nice addition to the search function.

  • PDF Searching using Adobe Acrobat Plugin Find Function in Safari

    I currently incorporate the Adobe Acrobat Pro (9.1.2) plugin for viewing PDF files. I like using Safari for viewing PDFs within a web browser, but I find Safari's built-in Find function (open apple-F) inferior to Acrobat's ability to search for text within the PDF, as it never finds the words that I search for.
    My question is: Is there an efficient built-in shortcut within Safari to search text within a PDF using Adobe Acrobat's plugin Find function? If not, is there a relatively easy, keyboard-based shortcut that could be made to direct the Find function to the Adobe Acrobat plugin Find function within Safari?
    Thanks,
    Ben

    Figured it out.  It had nothing to do with the software levels of Safari or Adobe Acrobat.  Here's the fix:
    Open Finder/Applications
    Search "Internet Plug-Ins"
    Move any Adobe plug-ins to the trash
    Quit Safari
    Launch Safari
    Your pdf document should now render in Print Preview and print properly.

  • Stop including firefox plugins into safari

    Hello friends,
    By default, on windows safari include plugins from firefox. I want to stop this.
    Or can I disable particular plugin for safari but that plugin must work on firefox?
    Can you tell me any possible way?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for reply.
    Actually I created two NPAPI plugins, one for safari and other one for firefox but with same MIME type. If we see Installed plugins in safari, both the plugins are loaded into safari. When I try to call plugin, build for safari, it will call plugin loaded from Firefox by default. I want to stop only this plugin to be loaded in safari from firefox. Can I do this and How?
    I want to keep same MIME type for both plugin.

  • I am the developer of a Mozilla Firefox Plugin, I would like to get some contact from your support to get the permission or any certificate for my actual extension.

    Hello, I've developed a firefox extension, I would like to know what should I need to do to get any certificate or acceptance to be a full legit extension, my website provides this plugin to watch online movies and tv shows, and uses this plugin to replaces adblocks from different websites, just like AdBlocker but not removing them, just replacing them. Similar functionality as MegaKey.
    This functionality is clearly detailed in our Terms & Conditions.

  • Firefox Plugins Check says I need new Quicktime - but I don't

    The Mozilla "Plug-ins Check" page says I have an outdated version of QuickTime Plug-in 7.6.3. So, I click the link to update it. Which takes me to Apple's website. Where I download a new version of QuickTime 7. So I download it -- so far, so good -- but then, when I go to install it, the Install Manager says that I ALREADY have the most current version of QuickTime (version 10) on my Mac, and it won't let me proceed.
    So, now what? I can't find just a "plug-in" for Quicktime on Apple's website -- the only thing to download seems to be all of Quicktime. Should I disable the Quicktime 7 plug-in on Firefox? If I do, what will happen?
    I am running Mac OS 10.6.3 and QuickTime Player 10.0 (113), and Firefox 3.6.3.
    Thanks!
    == This happened ==
    Just once or twice
    == I ran the Mozilla Plugin checker

    The Firefox Plugins check URL does not distinguish at all between the different versions of OS X and different Apple OS X compatible computers, and the different versions of plugins for Firefox different versions of OS X, in the messages it generates.
    Therefore:
    a G3 PPC CPU machine user running OS X 10.3.9 (7W98) PPC or OS X 10.4.11 (8S2167) Intel;
    a G4 or G5 PPC CPU user running OS X 10.4.11 (8S165) PPC or OS X 10.5.8 (9L30) UB;
    an Intel CPU user running OS X 10.4.11 (8S165) Intel or OS X 10.5.8 (9L30) UB;
    will ALL get messages relating to updates (of ALL types, not only QuickTime, but also including Java, Microsoft Silverlight, and others) that are compatible (at this time) with OS X 10.6.0 (10A432) Intel - OS X 10.6.5 (10H574) Intel, completely regardless as to whether they can actually run under the different versions of OS X.
    Furthermore:
    1) A number of G3 PPC CPU machines did not ship with enough VRAM (16 MB VRAM minimum required - 64 MB VRAM or higher recommended) to be officially supported under QuickTime 7 builds; If the G3 PPC CPU machine is a tower models with PCI slots, then it is possible to upgrade to a PCI video card with more VRAM to meet those hardware requirements, but G3 CPU iMac, iBook, and PowerBook users have to stay with QuickTime 6.5.2 or QuickTime 6.5.3 (some OS X users have QuickTime 6.5.3 for Panther and Tiger builds installed, from what Apple's "Software Update" used to provide...), as the VRAM cannot be upgraded on non-tower models.
    Ridiculously, QuickTime 7.6.4 is the highest version that Apple supports under OS X 10.4.11 (8S165) PPC or OS X 10.5.8 (9L30) UB, and, OS X 10.4.11 users running Fiirefox 3.6.12 will get information directing them to update to QuickTime 7.6.6
    QuickTime 7.6.5 and 7.6.6 are supported under OS X 10.5.8 (9L30) UB (there is no real reason that Apple couldn't have supported QuickTime 7.6.5 and 7.6.6 builds under OS X 10.4.11 (8S165) PPC or OS X 10.5.8 (9L30) UB as well, as it's the same code base, besides the fact that Safari v4.1.3 (4533.19.4) for OS X 10.4.11 (8S165) PPC and OS X 10.5.8 (9L30) UB was just issued by Apple, so the 15 million G4 and G5 PPC users get updates for OS X 10.4.11 without getting a QuickTime 7 update keeping pace)
    The new QuickTime X is for OS X 10.6.x ONLY (currently OS X 10.6.0 (10A432) Intel - OS X 10.6.5 (10H574) Intel), and uses a different code base than QuickTime 7. Therefore, no one expects QuickTime X for OS X 10.4.11 builds, although QuickTime X still could be ported for the most recent OS X 10.5.x build, if Apple wanted to.
    In conclusion, be forewarned as well, that before updating any version of QuickTime 7 or installing OS X 10.5.x or OS X 10.6.x, OS X users should always back up ALL the contents of these folders:
    /Library/QuickTime
    and
    System/Library/QuickTime
    and
    ~/Library/QuickTime
    as some of Apple's installers and updaters can wipe the QuickTime files (codecs and components), installed in those locations.
    I hope this information helps shed some light on these subjects...

  • FireFox plugin (Adobe Acrobat 10.1.9.22) isn't highlighting searched words, anymore

    Hello, everyone.
    I worked on a project, last year, that created Solr collections of PDF files, and allowed users to search the PDFs for whatever keywords the user enters.  One of the nice things about the project was that the FireFox plugin could read the keyword(s) entered by users and highlight them in the PDF being displayed within the browser.
    When I first started on that project, I think we were using FireFox 17.  NetAdmins recently upgraded everyone's browsers to FF24.4 (plugin Acrobat 10.1.9.22) and this highlighting feature seems to have been removed.  OR, it could be that code needs to be updated in order for it to work as it once did.
    What do I need to do to get the keyword highlighting in PDFs functional, again?  Or has the plugin been modified so that it won't work, anymore?  (This is a feature that our customer really likes.)
    V/r,
    ^_^

    It's not enough that the Adobe plugin is installed. You have to make sure it is actually being used... See here:

  • Where is the snap back to page function in Safari?

    Is the the "Snap back" to page function gone? I cannot find it anywhere on Safari 4

    Thanks. I can see that it is also useful in the search box but Apple should not have taken it out of the address bar. I use that function a great deal. The "Top Sites" function is nice but it doesn't replace the snap back function in the address bar.
    Sometimes I think the programmers at Apple do not actually use the applications they work on.
    Is there a request page I can ask Apple to put snap back back in?

  • Java 1.8.0_31 for Solaris Sparc missing Firefox plugin

    Until now I didn't realize that Oracle planned to deprecate (Oracle) Solaris in favor of Linux.
    Since updates to Java 7 will be ending in April 2015, I thought it would be a good idea to migrate to Java 8.  I installed Java 1.8.0_31 on our Solaris 10 server and then tried to configure the Java plugin for Firefox.  Low and behold!  It is no longer supplied with the Java installation.  Apparently, when Oracle removed 32-bit support for java in Solaris, they removed Java Web Start (javaws.jar) and the Firefox plugin (libnpjp2.so) with it.  As I searched the web in vain for a solution, I recall that additional java functionality has been removed from the Java 8 build for Solaris as well, but I can't recall what they are right now.
    Of course, Linux remains fully supported!!  Too bad we invested in an all-Oracle solution for our aging Oracle Forms applications.  I guess now we need to stay on Java 7 until we can migrate off the high performance (Oracle) Solaris dinosaur to a better supported Linux platform.  Thanks Oracle for providing no risk solutions.
    I've submitted a ticket to Oracle Support regarding how to get past this issue, but I thought I'd throw it out here too:
    How can I run a java app (like Oracle Forms) using Firefox on Solaris without a Java plugin?

    Obviously Sun (excuse me, Oracle) does not intend to support the solaris-10/sparc/firefox-3.6 combination. Firefox 3.6 requires the NPAPI and/or NPRuntime interfaces to java, but oracle does not provide the new "libnpjp2.so" java plugin with the jre-6u18-sparc-solaris java download.
    A search at www.oracle.com does not turn up any support announcement about this. You have to learn it the hard way. :(
    If you want to continue to use sparc-solaris, downgrade to firefox-3.5 so you can use the old libjavaplugin_oji.so module. Otherwise run Linux or Mac OS X to stay in the unix camp.

  • Firefox plugins automagically appear in Thunderbird & Sunbird

    Most of my Firefox plugins have been copied to Thunderbird and Sunbird, where I don't want or need them. Flash player in my calendar? No thanks. I have tried disabling them in TB & SB, but they become re-enabled each time I update them in Firefox. Operating Windows Vista with 2 accounts, regular user and admin., means I must disable the plugins a second time while running TB & SB as admin. (Firefox run as admin. is not affected when I update from the regular account.) Sooo... is this "Situation Normal..." , and is there a way I can remove these plugins from everywhere except Firefox?

  • Images Viewable in Firefox But Not In Explorer, Safari, Chrome.

    I have a coldfusion page with images. The images are called up dynamically from my Mysql database. The image field with my database has the datatype "char(100)". All that is stored in that database field is the file path to the folder of which the image is stored which is: \photos\RSL\1.jpg.
    On my webpage, the image placeholder looks like this:
    <a href="#Unit_Info.comphoto1#"><img src="#Unit_Info.comphoto1#" alt="" name="1" width="98" height="73" /></a>
    This images display just fine on Firefox, But Not In Explorer, Safari, & Chrome. These latter three just show a broken image. Could there be something wrong with either my coldfuson or Mysql file path where each of the letter three browsers are trying to access?
    I'm running Coldfusion 9 on my local machine, using OS Window 7 Professional.

    When I hard coded the file path it worked. I checked the source code and saw no white space. I even went to each browser's options dialog box to make sure that the show image options were checked. It may be my coding. In my image folder there are categories  of other folders within folders that have images of which Coldfusion calls up whenever the browser needs it. Could that be the problem? Should I have all of my 300 images in one folder?

  • A replacement for the Quicksort function in the C++ library

    Hi every one,
    I'd like to introduce and share a new Triple State Quicksort algorithm which was the result of my research in sorting algorithms during the last few years. The new algorithm reduces the number of swaps to about two thirds (2/3) of classical Quicksort. A multitude
    of other improvements are implemented. Test results against the std::sort() function shows an average of 43% improvement in speed throughout various input array types. It does this by trading space for performance at the price of n/2 temporary extra spaces.
    The extra space is allocated automatically and efficiently in a way that reduces memory fragmentation and optimizes performance.
    Triple State Algorithm
    The classical way of doing Quicksort is as follows:
    - Choose one element p. Called pivot. Try to make it close to the median.
    - Divide the array into two parts. A lower (left) part that is all less than p. And a higher (right) part that is all greater than p.
    - Recursively sort the left and right parts using the same method above.
    - Stop recursion when a part reaches a size that can be trivially sorted.
     The difference between the various implementations is in how they choose the pivot p, and where equal elements to the pivot are placed. There are several schemes as follows:
    [ <=p | ? | >=p ]
    [ <p | >=p | ? ]
    [ <=p | =p | ? | >p ]
    [ =p | <p | ? | >p ]  Then swap = part to middle at the end
    [ =p | <p | ? | >p | =p ]  Then swap = parts to middle at the end
    Where the goal (or the ideal goal) of the above schemes (at the end of a recursive stage) is to reach the following:
    [ <p | =p | >p ]
    The above would allow exclusion of the =p part from further recursive calls thus reducing the number of comparisons. However, there is a difficulty in reaching the above scheme with minimal swaps. All previous implementation of Quicksort could not immediately
    put =p elements in the middle using minimal swaps, first because p might not be in the perfect middle (i.e. median), second because we don’t know how many elements are in the =p part until we finish the current recursive stage.
    The new Triple State method first enters a monitoring state 1 while comparing and swapping. Elements equal to p are immediately copied to the middle if they are not already there, following this scheme:
    [ <p | ? | =p | ? | >p ]
    Then when either the left (<p) part or the right (>p) part meet the middle (=p) part, the algorithm will jump to one of two specialized states. One state handles the case for a relatively small =p part. And the other state handles the case for a relatively
    large =p part. This method adapts to the nature of the input array better than the ordinary classical Quicksort.
    Further reducing number of swaps
    A typical quicksort loop scans from left, then scans from right. Then swaps. As follows:
    while (l<=r)
    while (ar[l]<p)
    l++;
    while (ar[r]>p)
    r--;
    if (l<r)
    { Swap(ar[l],ar[r]);
    l++; r--;
    else if (l==r)
    { l++; r--; break;
    The Swap macro above does three copy operations:
    Temp=ar[l]; ar[l]=ar[r]; ar[r]=temp;
    There exists another method that will almost eliminate the need for that third temporary variable copy operation. By copying only the first ar[r] that is less than or equal to p, to the temp variable, we create an empty space in the array. Then we proceed scanning
    from left to find the first ar[l] that is greater than or equal to p. Then copy ar[r]=ar[l]. Now the empty space is at ar[l]. We scan from right again then copy ar[l]=ar[r] and continue as such. As long as the temp variable hasn’t been copied back to the array,
    the empty space will remain there juggling left and right. The following code snippet explains.
    // Pre-scan from the right
    while (ar[r]>p)
    r--;
    temp = ar[r];
    // Main loop
    while (l<r)
    while (l<r && ar[l]<p)
    l++;
    if (l<r) ar[r--] = ar[l];
    while (l<r && ar[r]>p)
    r--;
    if (l<r) ar[l++] = ar[r];
    // After loop finishes, copy temp to left side
    ar[r] = temp; l++;
    if (temp==p) r--;
    (For simplicity, the code above does not handle equal values efficiently. Refer to the complete code for the elaborate version).
    This method is not new, a similar method has been used before (read: http://www.azillionmonkeys.com/qed/sort.html)
    However it has a negative side effect on some common cases like nearly sorted or nearly reversed arrays causing undesirable shifting that renders it less efficient in those cases. However, when used with the Triple State algorithm combined with further common
    cases handling, it eventually proves more efficient than the classical swapping approach.
    Run time tests
    Here are some test results, done on an i5 2.9Ghz with 6Gb of RAM. Sorting a random array of integers. Each test is repeated 5000 times. Times shown in milliseconds.
    size std::sort() Triple State QuickSort
    5000 2039 1609
    6000 2412 1900
    7000 2733 2220
    8000 2993 2484
    9000 3361 2778
    10000 3591 3093
    It gets even faster when used with other types of input or when the size of each element is large. The following test is done for random large arrays of up to 1000000 elements where each element size is 56 bytes. Test is repeated 25 times.
    size std::sort() Triple State QuickSort
    100000 1607 424
    200000 3165 845
    300000 4534 1287
    400000 6461 1700
    500000 7668 2123
    600000 9794 2548
    700000 10745 3001
    800000 12343 3425
    900000 13790 3865
    1000000 15663 4348
    Further extensive tests has been done following Jon Bentley’s framework of tests for the following input array types:
    sawtooth: ar[i] = i % arange
    random: ar[i] = GenRand() % arange + 1
    stagger: ar[i] = (i* arange + i) % n
    plateau: ar[i] = min(i, arange)
    shuffle: ar[i] = rand()%arange? (j+=2): (k+=2)
    I also add the following two input types, just to add a little torture:
    Hill: ar[i] = min(i<(size>>1)? i:size-i,arange);
    Organ Pipes: (see full code for details)
    Where each case above is sorted then reordered in 6 deferent ways then sorted again after each reorder as follows:
    Sorted, reversed, front half reversed, back half reversed, dithered, fort.
    Note: GenRand() above is a certified random number generator based on Park-Miller method. This is to avoid any non-uniform behavior in C++ rand().

    Theoretical Analysis
    A Classical Quicksort algorithm performs less than 2n*ln(n) comparisons on the average (check JACEK CICHON’s paper) and less than 0.333n*ln(n) swaps on the average (check Wild and Nebel’s paper). Triple state will perform about the same number of comparisons
    but with less swaps of about 0.222n*ln(n) in theory. In practice however, Triple State Quicksort will perform even less comparisons in large arrays because of a new 5 stage pivot selection algorithm that is used. Here is the detailed theoretical analysis:
    http://solostuff.net/tsqsort/Asymptotic_analysis_of_Triple_State_Quicksort.pdf
    Using SSE2 instruction set
    SSE2 uses the 128bit sized XMM registers that can do memory copy operations in parallel since there are 8 registers of them. SSE2 is primarily used in speeding up copying large memory blocks in real-time graphics demanding applications.
    In order to use SSE2, copied memory blocks have to be 16byte aligned. Triple State Quicksort will automatically detect if element size and the array starting address are 16byte aligned and if so, will switch to using SSE2 instructions for extra speedup. This
    decision is made only once when the function is called so it has minor overhead.
    Few other notes
    - The standard C++ sorting function in almost all platforms religiously takes a “call back pointer” to a comparison function that the user/programmer provides. This is obviously for flexibility and to allow closed sourced libraries. Triple State
    defaults to using a call back function. However, call back functions have bad overhead when called millions of times. Using inline/operator or macro based comparisons will greatly improve performance. An improvement of about 30% to 40% can be expected. Thus,
    I seriously advise against using a call back function when ever possible. You can disable the call back function in my code by #undefining CALL_BACK precompiler directive.
    - Like most other efficient implementations, Triple State switches to insertion sort for tiny arrays, whenever the size of a sub-part of the array is less than TINY_THRESH directive. This threshold is empirically chosen. I set it to 15. Increasing this
    threshold will improve the speed when sorting nearly sorted and reversed arrays, or arrays that are concatenations of both cases (which are common). But will slow down sorting random or other types of arrays. To remedy this, I provide a dual threshold method
    that can be enabled by #defining DUAL_THRESH directive. Once enabled, another threshold TINY_THRESH2 will be used which should be set lower than TINY_THRESH. I set it to 9. The algorithm is able to “guess” if the array or sub part of the array is already sorted
    or reversed, and if so will use TINY_THRESH as it’s threshold, otherwise it will use the smaller threshold TINY_THRESH2. Notice that the “guessing” here is NOT fool proof, it can miss. So set both thresholds wisely.
    - You can #define the RANDOM_SAMPLES precompiler directive to add randomness to the pivoting system to lower the chances of the worst case happening at a minor performance hit.
    -When element size is very large (320 bytes or more). The function/algorithm uses a new “late swapping” method. This will auto create an internal array of pointers, sort the pointers array, then swap the original array elements to sorted order using minimal
    swaps for a maximum of n/2 swaps. You can change the 320 bytes threshold with the LATE_SWAP_THRESH directive.
    - The function provided here is optimized to the bone for performance. It is one monolithic piece of complex code that is ugly, and almost unreadable. Sorry about that, but inorder to achieve improved speed, I had to ignore common and good coding standards
    a little. I don’t advise anyone to code like this, and I my self don’t. This is really a special case for sorting only. So please don’t trip if you see weird code, most of it have a good reason.
    Finally, I would like to present the new function to Microsoft and the community for further investigation and possibly, inclusion in VC++ or any C++ library as a replacement for the sorting function.
    You can find the complete VC++ project/code along with a minimal test program here:

    Important: To fairly compare two sorting functions, both should either use or NOT use a call back function. If one uses and another doesn’t, then you will get unfair results, the one that doesn’t use a call back function will most likely win no matter how bad
    it is!!

    Thanks for your interest.
    Excuse my ignorance as I'm not sure what you meant by "1 of 5" optimization. Did you mean median of 5 ?
    Regarding swapping pointers, yes it is common sense and rather common among programmers to swap pointers instead of swapping large data types, at the small price of indirect access to the actual data through the pointers.
    However, there is a rather unobvious and quite terrible side effect of using this trick. After the pointer array is sorted, sequential (sorted) access to the actual data throughout the remaining of the program will suffer heavily because of cache misses.
    Memory is being accessed randomly because the pointers still point to the unsorted data causing many many cache misses, which will render the program itself slow, although the sort was fast!!.
    Multi-threaded qsort is a good idea in principle and easy to implement obviously because qsort itself is recursive. The thing is Multi-threaded qsort is actually just stealing CPU time from other cores that might be busy running other apps, this might slow
    down other apps, which might not be ideal for servers. The thing researchers usually try to do is to do the improvement in the algorithm it self.
    I Will try to look at your sorting code, lets see if I can compile it.

  • After their recent upgrade Facebook no longer works for Firefox version 2.0.0.20, what is the most recent version of Firefox that will function with a Mac G3 running OS 10.3.9?

    Facebook (FB) recently restructured their website. After logging on to my FB homepage, some of the graphics are garbled and I am no longer able to post status updates, comment on friend's status updates or pictures, or post pictures using Firefox version 2.0.0.20. I would like to know if there is a newer version of Firefox that will function with a Mac G3 Blue and White desktop running OS 10.3.9 which will be compatible with the new FB? I would upgrade my computer, but have 22+ years of business and tax records that will not function with the newer Mac OS.

  • Replacing Firefox 3.6.16 containing my history, bookmarks etc by version 4.0, I find that it will not open on my Mac Power PC G4 running on OS 10.4.11. Is there is a compatibility problem and how do I retrieve version 3.6 with my bookmarks etc

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    When you install one of the above it will use your existing bookmarks etc
