Develop a firefox plugin. Know when to use.

I always ask this question during the transition to a new platform/interface.

I'm developing a simple firefox plugin that allows users to view video .mkv on the browser.

Just how someone would develop a plugin to support video .mp4.

My question is this: how will they know that firefox to use my plugin when she tries to stream videos .mkv?

As far as I'm concerned all plugins must be running firefox must cycle and thorough them, tests each one to see if he can play the video.

It's a little confusing. I already know how to get the plugins to install, and the programming part where I incorporate support for a given file type is quite easy.

But how firefox know when to use my plugin?

Thank you

Yes, that should work with the object and embed tag.

It will not work if the files are delivered with an audio or video, tag because these tags are supported specific MIME types in Firefox.

  • I get error messages when I try to visit some Web sites you use Mozilla Firefox, but not when I use other browsers

    About two days ago, I noticed that when I tried to access some websites using Firefox, I always got this error message. "The connection was reset". Initially, I thought it was a problem with my ISP before noticing that the network was fine on my phone and the iPad. I tried and then open the same links which brought up the error message on the TorBrowser and it worked perfectly.

    Basically, the only site that works right now on my Firefox browser is Google but if I do a Google search and then click on any link that appears so I get the same error message, "the connection was reset". I can also connect to my gmail account, but I can't access any other Web site including Feedly, Tumblr, Twitter, Yahoo, Wordpress, Blogspot, even though they work fine on my other browser.

    I have cleared my cache and cookies, wiped out all browsing history, but the problem persists then I uninstalled Mozilla Firefox and reinstalled. The problem is still there. I checked the proxy settings, I went through all the solutions on this page https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can?esab=a & as = aaq and still nothing. I'm not sure what the problem is here, but any solution will be appreciated. I have used Firefox for years and I'm really not comfortable using a different browser.

    I use a Macbook OS X Version 10.9.4 and the last Firefox 32.0.1

  • As I scroll down, using Firefox, but not when you use Int. Exp., the image becomes deformed, "having fun" on the right. I can fix by reloading the page

  • Firefox redirecting not when you use the script Window.Print

    Have a simple java script on a Web page to display the print dialog box before the redirection to another page.

    < a onclick = "javascript:window.print()" href ="Screen.php" > print, and continue < /a > "

    When the print dialog box will appear if you print it does not redirect but remains on the page. If you cancel printing, it will go ahead and redirect to where it is supposed to go. Worked fine before the last update I was wondering if there was a work around for this or if anyone was aware of this.

    The inconsistency is confusing. If you change your onclick to the following code, you can see a difference of synchronization in the appearance of the confirm dialog box which may be related to the problem. Maybe printing went from synchronous to asynchronous and now the navigation is attempted at a time when it is not allowed?

    onclick="window.print(); if(!confirm('Finished printing?')) return false;"

  • Firefox is very slow when you use RDP

    Firefox is fast when you use Windows directly. But when you use RDP it is very slow. For example, empty new tab takes about 6 seconds to open. The RDP connection is fast and another response programs immediately (for example the same page navigation in IE is fast).
    What is the problem with Firefox?

    Could it be the graphics hardware acceleration?

    You will need to probably restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.). On the remote system:

    Orange Firefox button or classic menu Tools > Options > advanced

    In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

    Then restart Firefox. Does make a difference?

  • When to use the # will explain and when not in "selectors".

    I'm doing the tutorial:

    Create your first website - part 3: style of the header and navigation menu. Adobe Developer Connection

    I do not understand when I'm supposed to use the # when you create a new selector. I am instead:

    1. The copyright symbol in the <footer> moves to the top next to the heading "tips cable car. To resolve this problem, create a new footerselector.
    2. In the page layout section, set the clear property to left. The <footer> moves to the bottom of the page.

    I had used the # and spent a moment with her. Finally, I took the # footer selector, and then it worked.

    I know not how do you know when to use and when not. What I missed or what I forget?

    Thank you.

    In CSS, prefacing a selector with # indicates that her Prefixant ID. a selector with a dot or period indicates that it is a class. No prefix means that the switch target an element HTML of the same name.

  • Bytes to Port property node. When to use and when not?

    Hi all

    Ive frequently used bytes to port property node performing bed series and have not experienced any problems.  I've heard mixed on this subject reviews and I would like to know when to use and when not to use it.

    Thanks for any input.

    I will start by when it should not be used.

    When there are (as readable) ASCII data to come through and it is separated by a termination character.  Select the stop character and read more bytes than you ever expect a given message.

    When there are binary data, but a protocol where you know clearly how the message package is put in place.  In this case, you want to disable the stop character because any octet can be given legitimate and be interpreted as the stop character.  With these protocols, if you know the message is always X bytes, read X bytes.  If the message is of variable length, but the Protocol is set to tell you low for a long time the message is, and then make partial readings.  So if each message starts with 2 bytes that says follow X bytes.  Then read 2 bytes, which converted to a number, then read this number of bytes.

    When to use:

    The only time will really use bytes to the port is if you use a terminal of the installation type.  Just enter and display on-screen what never happens happened at the port since the last time it was read.  When you don't care where are message breaks.

    If you use bytes to the port and care message breaks, then you're obligated to all your new message concatenated to a string, you store in a shift register and each reading analysis through data to determine if you have a complete message and valid.  If you do not, do nothing and go back and read more.  In fact, you will need to run through the chain of data several times in a row before coming back to reread in the case where the message ever resulted in a single reading packets.

    The vast majority of applications falls into one of the above situations.  The last situation is not as common, and if you use bytes to the port with a system of e-mail that has defined a defined protocol or packages, you do a job more in programming to maintain a software buffer of data as well as the hardware buffer to the serial port.

  • What event will be triggered when you use your finger to scroll the screen?

    I want to do the scrolling list, now I can do this by using the mouse to drag, but how do I apply it by using your finger to scroll?

    The question is that I don't know when you use your finger to scroll the screen, what event will trigger?

    Please help me if there is no solution?

    You can use the same code as the mouse. Mouse events are also triggered when you use a finger on a touch screen. However, if you want more features, for, etc. example pinching to the zoom, you'll have to watch the TouchEvent class.

  • invokeLater() or synchronize (getEventLock ())? When to use which?

    Hello

    I'm a bit confused on invokeLater and synchronize (getEventLock). How do I know when to use which?

    Thank you

    For everything that happens in quick succession, you cannot use invokeLater() because it will overflow from the event queue. If you want that it be done immediately, then use the block synchronization (or in some cases invokeAndWait()). invokeLater() can wait until the next iteration of the cycle of the event, which can cause something seems nervous or lag according to what you are doing.

  • When we use the package start the game?

    Guys, I would like to know when we use this part of the package. I mean, because start part runs only those and never running again in this session. So why we use this part?

    is
      num number;

      So when should we use this part of packages?????

    end;
    Thank you

    Hello

    I use this section to initialize variables, global temporary tables and package SYS_CONTEXT variables. If there is information stored in regular tables which I am sure you need when you use the package, I could query the tables once, when I all call the package first and save the results in variables SYS_CONTEXT or package, or global temporary tables, where I can get results quickly and easily.

    Most packages you use probably not need this item.

  • Why am I getting the message «It seems that you did not start Firefox for a while...» "When I use it all the time?

    It may have been a recent update, but it says that I have not used Firefox for a little while when I used it this morning. What is only a function of the update? I expect that if Firefox knew how long since I used it, it would not give this message.

    Ignore this message!

    From what I've observed, a Firefox update will cause Firefox 'watching' the time of the profile file stanps and perhaps trigger this alert. I do not know exactly what or how many parameters involved in Firefox "decide" display this alert message, but as long as you are not having problems with Firefox do not respond to it.

  • How to disable direct sound when you use a plugin for guitar?

    I use the Waves GTR plugin for recording guitar in Logic Pro X, but because it puts a lot of pressure on the CPU, I tried he governs through a "bus" instead of having the plugin separately on every guitar track. The difference is that when I use the bus option, I can't seem to get rid of dry direct sound which is obviously very embarrassing. The only way for me to get rid of the direct sound is to use the RTM plugin on every guitar track that quickly causes the overload program when using several of these titles.

    Anyone know how to get rid of the direct sound when you use the alternative of bus for the guitar tracks?

    just at the exit of the guitar channel strip no output. This way you won't hear at the follow (because the dry track will not be transmitted to any output)
