Bookmark dialogs JavaScript stopped working

I have a few bookmarks on my bookmarks toolbar, which is a Javascript code snippet:

javascript:Qr=document.getSelection();if(!Qr){void(Qr=prompt('Enter subject to lookup in Wikipedia:',''))}if(Qr)location.href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search/'+escape(Qr)+'%20'

This will open a dialog asking "Enter subject search in Wikipedia" and takes that Word or phrase and transmits to the Wikipedia search page. With some modifications, this code can also work for other sites, like dictionary.com.

So, when I put to upgrade to Firefox 8, these bookmarks JS transformed dotted square icons, and they no longer open a dialog box. Instead, the site appears.

I looked for a solution, but all I found were references to 'keyword Favorites'. But as far as I know, it's a different concept, because they are intended to be typed into the address bar, for example "w searchterm", and I don't know how it could be turned into a point on the bookmarks bar.

Ideas for a workaround?

In Firefox 8 getSelection() returns an object and not a string.

If you need to force it to a chain is adding + "" or use the toString() method. "

Qr=document.getSelection()+"";
Qr=document.getSelection().toString();

  • Java? [Evented i/o for V8 JavaScript stopped working]

    Evert time I open any Adobe software, a message appears saying: "Evented i/o for V8 JavaScript stopped working" Windows is checking for a solution to the problem. I uninstalled Java, but the warning still keeps popping up from time to time when I'm working with Godfather software.

  • Photoshop/ACC: Evented i/o for v8 JavaScript stopped working.

    From the creative cloud Adobe updated this morning (24/11/2015), we get a windows error several times (every 20 seconds) using Photoshop: Evented i/o v8 JavaScript stopped working.

    I think it has to do with a version of node.exe that ships with Adobe.

    Someone else has seen this?

    See the instructions at the bottom of Evented/i/o for V8 JavaScript, is it safe?

    The error is with the installation of Adobe node.exe causing Adobe Shared Library to stop working.

    Suspend the node.exe process stops the error pop up, but it prevents using Adobe Shared Library (or anything else that can rely on the process of node).

    Recently purchased Acrobat DC through my school. I was with Acrobat X to create everything. Writing javascripts (and even received help here before), and it worked fine.

    Needed to update a PDF Kit we use regularly. It uses form fields in duplicate, document level scripts and scripts of computation of field.

    Kit #1 - still works. No problem there.

    Kit #2 - uses the same scripts. Not working no javascripts.

    script hide/show-2 radio buttons has been added.

    -I used the new feature to hide and show fields under mouse actions first. When this does not work, I went to a javascript.

    -Kits were created on my computer at home. (I better work from home and have more time. In addition, they don't give me the full version to work. "This is the military, long story.)

    -He sent to my work computer, bam, nothing works.

    Here, is the fun part; It works fine on my home computer. While at work the oldest kit still works, so that the new work not at all. As a reminder, the scripts are the same. Acrobat says he's able to be read by all versions at a time.

  • Bookmark dialog box has stopped from appearing when a bookmark is selected

    Firefox 3.6.12 ceased to display the Bookmark dialog box when a URL location is selected for storage. Since the Bookmark dialog box stopped appearing, all favorites are in the recent favorite section, and no other place.

    This is different from how it worked before. Only 1-program, Google Earth 6, which also installed Chrome, has been updated since the Firefox bookmark dialog box appears allowing the user to select the destination for the folder as the location of the binding registration.

    This problem may be caused by McAfee SiteAdvisor.

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the Add-ons is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Modules > themes).

    Node.js Problem.PNG

    Hi all

    After the last update Adobe Creative Cloud. I get this error every second that takes me on the program, I'm currently in. (Indesign, first, Aftereffects, Photoshop). I am currently at a stand still, where a similar problem happened less than a month before with error: "Evented i/o for V8 JavaScript stopped working" .

    How many problems can chat you with every Adobe update? Can you correct these before update and how can I correct it now since I literally slowed down to a snails pace with this problem.

    Thank you.

    Hi Tristan,.

    We are terribly sorry to make you have to go through this. Here are some steps that should help you to solve the problem:

    • Open start > Control Panel
    • Click on programs
    • In the programs and features you are interested in, click on "Turn Windows features on or off"
    • Make sure that Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1 is not turned off (a check, but also a blue box like in the screenshot below is ok)

    Please reply to this thread in the case where you still face problems.

    Thank you

  • Error: "Evented i/o for V8 JavaScript has stopped working"

    Someone had this problem? Anyone know what is causing the error?

    This has happened the last couple days now.  There are still a number of messages from forums with no fix from Adobe on this matter.

    Re: Indesign: evented i/o for v8 javascript stopped working

    I saw this when, indesign or photoshop is open, and the problem started when the update of the Adobe Creative Cloud application.  This will affect hundreds of users spread across several companies, I was successful.

    I managed to stop the error as follows

    renamed node.exe to node.bak in the following locations:

    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2015\ CC
    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud\CCLibrary\libs\
    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud\CCXProcess\libs\

    Waiting for fix appropriate from Adobe like this is a widespread problem.

  • After Windows Update ActiveX RDP through SSL VPN KB2675157 stops working

    We have a Cisco ASA 5510 with Clientless SSL VPN portal. I just found out that after installing the latest Microsoft Updates, bookmarks RDP has stopped working. He continues to ask that I should install Cisco Portforwarder control and then returns to the home page. I changed all the security settings, tried to install control manually, but nothing works. Finally, I found that after you uninstall Internet Explorer 8 update KB2675157 it works again.

    Is this a known issue?

    I just tested it on Windows XP with IE 8, I don't know if the problem occurs in other platforms.

    Good afternoon

    The issue you are running into is not caused by KB2675157.  This behavior was deliberately introduced by KB

    2695962.

    As stated in:

    http://Tools.Cisco.com/Security/Center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/Cisco-SA-20120314-AsaClient

    The Cisco PSIRT asked Microsoft to set the global Kill Bit for the control of redirector Port Cisco ActiveX on March 14, 2012.    Microsoft pushed the bit kill for the vulnerable control in may, 2012 batch of patches Microsoft Tuesday (May 8, 2012).

    Clients must go to one of the recommendations listed or such later versions listed below.  The recommended versions include fixes for issues disclosed in Cisco Security Advisory: Cisco ASA 5500 series Adaptive Security Appliance Clientless VPN ActiveX control Remote Code execution vulnerability of as well as those identified in the notice to Client of ASA.

    Affected version First version fixed Recommended version
    Cisco ASA 7.0 Not vulnerable Migrate to 7.2 or later
    Cisco ASA 7.1 Vulnerable Vulnerable people; Migrate to 7.2 or later
    Cisco ASA 7.2 7.2 (5.6) 7.2 (5.7)
    Cisco ASA 8.0 8.0 (5.26) Migrate to 8.2 (5.26) or later version
    Cisco ASA 8.1 8.1 (2.53) Migrate to 8.2 (5.26) or later version

    Cisco ASA 8.6 8.6 (1.1) 8.6 (1.1)

    Once the affected control has been improved by starting a VPN session without client on an ASA that contains the fixed software, it will be used in all sessions.  This including those with ASA devices that cannot run the software updated.

  • Bookmarks have stopped working in Firefox 41.0.1

    Bookmarks have stopped working (i.e. I can't create new ones) in Fx 41.0.1. My old favorites are still there and they still work as expected. In the past, when I created a bookmark (' bookmarks > Bookmark this page') I would get a dialog box so that I could determine whenre the bookmark has been going. Now I get nothing, and I can't find any new bookmark.

    I don't know exactly when Fx itself 41.0.1 upgrade, but I first noticed this problem 2-3 days ago.

    Hi, it is possible that the update has interfered with one of your extensions - a number you need! So, try Firefox Mode safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    If it's OK in Mode without failure, you will need to temporarily disable all of your extensions one by one until you find the culprit.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

  • Export dialog box has suddenly stopped working (internal error)

    V4.1.0.18 SQL Developer build HAND-18, 37

    The data export dialog box (by right-clicking in a query result) suddenly stopped working this morning. The window of dialogue where I normally happens to choose a destination and format file refuses to say another thing that 'internal error during an attempt create this panel', followed by a big chunk of things related to java:

    sql developer 4.1.1 export dialog.jpg

    Yesterday, everything was fine. Can someone help me fix this, or point me in the right direction?

    If I run an older version (Build HAND - 13.80 v4.0.0.13) the export dialog box works as expected...

    No idea on how to delete a version

    There is no aspect of registry of a SQL Developer installation.  Only...

    1. the folder where you install SQL Developer.  You should always unzip into an empty folder, of course.

    2. the folder which contains the parameters of the user (either the default value, initial settings or settings migrate one installs it earlier).

    For WIndows Vista & upwards, for example, the default user settings for all installations of SQL Developer are under Developer %APPDATA%\SQL.

    The %AppData%\microsoft\windows\sendto is something like C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming.  Win XP used a slightly different naming convention.  Each facility has a record for its parameters to the user of the SystemN.N.N.N.Nform.  Don't forget that AppData is one of those hidden Windows folders.

    So the current production facility will have user settings in C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\system4.1.1.19.59.

    For SQL Developer 4.0 & upward, there is also a separate C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\sqldeveloper\...\product.conf to point to the JDK.

    It's always a good idea to export your definitions of connection for installation before nuking its SystemN.N.N.N.N folders.

    So, delete a SQL Developer installation is also simple to delete the installation directory and the directory of the user for this version parameters.

    Moreover, the Export page for 4.0.0.13.80 utility preferences (and 4.1.1.19.59 is the same) should look to...

    Hello, I have a strange problem, I can not understand.  I created an app for IOS and Android with a button that uses javascript to open a new email.  He worked in an earlier version and still works in Android.  For some reason any, that he stopped working in the IOS on time phonegap build started showing the message to support a new version of phonegap.  At first, I thought it would be something that I did I have re-built an older version that worked.  Now, it no longer works, so I don't think it's my code.  I played a bit with Add/Remove plugins of my config.xml file but nothing works.  Here is a javascript code snippet:

    body var = "Please provide a quote for" parts "pieces of" ++ metal + "" shapeText + ', ' + size + '. ';

    Regular connections such as the following WILL not work:

    Kerri thanks, I have who kicked.  He fixed the IOS app, but broke the Android app! (both using cli - 6, 3).  I think I'm better just stick to cli - 5.2.

    Here's how I implemented email composer plugin:

    Add the following to the config.xml file

    updated my javascript code for:

    Cordova.plugins.email.Open ({}
