[Ext] userChromeJS 2.0 [2015-08-02]

[K4RBQT99]

@K4RBQT99, you should probably install DOM Inspector (on AMO) so you can look up ids.. don't use that extension myself.

I expressed myself badly - using DOM I could not to do work this (the structure created by OSE is diferent). Anyway, now I see that this can to require more work, so i think that I will contact directly to the OSE developed. Thanks.

I didnt understand how to use this extension. I installed it but there is no userchrome.js in my profile folder. How am i suppose to load js files to the extension.

Edit: Got it now. But i couldnt do this:
How can i do this?

There is an addon that combines userChromeJS and subscriptoverlayloader.js. Download from here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/uc/

alta88: Can you please update the version of userChromeJS add-on at: http://userchromejs.mozdev.org/ to make it compatible with TB 5.0b1?. I searched AMO but did not see this posted there. Thanks

Can someone help. I've installed userChromeJS and have the following in my userchrome.js,

Code: Select all

// Make the back/forward dropdown list bigger
if (typeof(FillHistoryMenu) != "undefined")
  eval("FillHistoryMenu = " + FillHistoryMenu.toString().replace(/MAX_HISTORY_MENU_ITEMS(?! =)/g, "40"));
//
 
// Statusbar in Menubar (or urlbar, choose element thanks to its ID)
var statusbar = document.getElementById("status-bar");
var menubar = document.getElementById("toolbar-menubar");
menubar.appendChild(statusbar);
statusbar.setAttribute("style", "-moz-appearance: -moz-win-glass;"); // -moz-win-communications-toolbox
//statusbar.setAttribute("style", "-moz-appearance: toolbar;");
statusbar.setAttribute("flex", "1");
document.getElementById("urlbar").addEventListener("mouseover",function(){XULBrowserWindow.setOverLink("",null)},false);
document.getAnonymousElementByAttribute(statusbar, 'class', 'statusbar-resizerpanel').setAttribute("style", "display: none;");
//statusbar.contextMenu = null;
//


The History menu bit is working, but the status bar move only shows on the first window to open
when FireFox restarts (multiple windows open & then restarted), the rest of the windows have no status bar
and no menu bar. Sometimes I lose it in the first menu too and have to delete localstore.rdf to get them back.

Anyone know what's happening, or how to apply it to all windows?

Michael

EDIT Note it usually works as written, but often on restart it doesn't. So something non-standard is going on. /EDIT

alta88, Noticed that a new 1.4 version of userChrome.js is posted at: http://downloads.mozdev.org/userchromejs/
What is the difference between this and v1.3?. Looked at the install.rdf, but it looks to be the same as 1.3 wrt to compatibility updated related to TB5?. Thanks

[alta88]

it's an unreleased test version.

[Kitefighter]

Can we use v1.3 in Firefox 6 (after manual bumping) without side-effects?
Or should we take the v1.4? Or is there another version in the pipeline?

Not sure since when, Firefox's startup cache will cache userchrome.js scripts.

Make it very inconvenient to tweak uc scripts, since modified scripts will take no effect before you delete startupCache folder

Alternatively, execute the following code and restart browser .

Code: Select all

      let XRE = Cc["@mozilla.org/xre/app-info;1"].getService(Ci.nsIXULRuntime);
      XRE.invalidateCachesOnRestart();

For Firefox 4 and above you try starting Firefox.exe with the -purgecaches command line switch.

userChromeJS v1.4 has been released. anyone who downloaded the unreleased and unpublicized 1.4 should redownload.

[nightson]

After updating to v1.4, some scripts don't seem to get loaded e.g. UserCSSLoader.uc.js and addMenu

BTW,I use userChrome.import("*", "UChrm"); to load the scripts and it works fine in v1.3.

maybe a bug with 1.4
