NNL Beta Builds for Current and Up-coming Firefox Dear User: Your Help is Needed Thank you very much for the check list, mcdavis.
I was not able to run
I get a Reference Error when I try. On the white listed pages, I can get the object Mozilla, but Mozilla.UITour is undefined... What I'm missing here? (I never used the Scratchpad before, I need to learn what it can do ![]() ![]() Hi Sharebird,
Go to the DevTools options and check this one: "Enable browser chrome and add-on debugging toolboxes". Now open the Scratchpad and click "Environment" -> "Browser". After that, the code runs just fine. ![]() And I second your thank you to mcdavis. The checklist is a massive time saver! ![]() Some people say that cats are sneaky, evil, and cruel. True, and they have many other fine qualities as well. -- Missy Dizick
My Firefox themes: Red Cats (blue & green flavor), Curacao
Just to add a little to what red_fat_lazy_cat said: by default, JS in the Scratchpad runs "in the context of" whatever page is in tab, as if the JS were part of that page and came from that site. When you pick the browser context, that makes the JS run as if it were loaded with the main browser window, browser.xul, instead. I think the security context of the JS is limited to that of the page by default, i.e. no chrome privileges, again unless you set the context to browser context, but I'm not certain and I'd have to look that up. Theme Development is Radical Participation.

Theme Development is Radical Participation.
NNL Beta Builds for Current and Up-coming Firefox Dear User: Your Help is Needed The test pages for malware and phishing UI changed a couple years back. The new ones:
http://itisatrap.org/firefox/its-a-trap.html http://itisatrap.org/firefox/its-an-attack.html They replace the old ones, which are now 404: https://www.mozilla.com/firefox/its-a-trap.html https://www.mozilla.com/firefox/its-an-attack.html Theme Development is Radical Participation.
NNL Beta Builds for Current and Up-coming Firefox Dear User: Your Help is Needed Yeah, I think those pages have caused the mozilla.com domain to get flagged as a malware domain a few times. Oh the irony.
Tip of the day: If it has "toolbar" in the name, it's crap.

Cite? I'd like to read it myself. But it sounds like our arrogant devs. Who would ever want to look at their crappy-looking default theme? Firefox: Sic transit gloria mundi.
