1 | Archive of obsolete content | |
Here at MDN, we try to avoid outright deleting content that might be useful to people targeting legacy platforms, operating systems, and browsers. Perhaps your target audience is people that are using older hardware, for example, and can't upgrade to the latest and greatest browsers. Or for "reasons," your company is required to use very old software and you need to build Web content that runs on that software. Or perhaps you're just curious about the history of an obsolete feature or API, and how it worked. | ||
2 | .htaccess ( hypertext access ) | 301 redirect, Cache control, Custom Error pages, HTACCESS, Permanent Redirect, Redirect |
The term .htaccess stands for "hypertext access". A file with the HTACCESS file extension is an Access Configuration file for apache server. The .htaccess file configures the current directory with things like password protection, URL rewrites & redirects, and more. | ||

5 | Firefox addons developer guide | |
The original document is in Japanese and distributed via the xuldev.org website. So there may be still some reference to the xuldev website (we want to host source code on MDC, not on xuldev), and to Japanese things (like some specific locales, which have been translated to French since non-latin characters are not well supported). | ||
6 | Interaction between privileged and non-privileged pages | Add-ons, Code snippets, Extensions |
An easy way to send data from a web page to an extension is by using custom DOM events. In your extension's browser.xul overlay, write code which listens for a custom DOM event. Here we call the event MyExtensionEvent . |

11 | An Interview With Douglas Bowman of Wired News | Web Development, Web Standards |
One of the Web's oldest news sites, Wired News draws between 20 and 25 million page views every month. On October 11, 2002, Wired launched a brand-new site design that uses validating XHTML for its structure and a small collection of CSS files for its layout. The new design clearly shows what some experts have been saying: that standards-based design can be visually compelling and preserve the interface conventions we've come to expect from Web pages. | ||

Patterns are methods of interaction with your app. Unlike the building blocks, which describe particular user interface elements, patterns are ways those building blocks are presented. | ||
27 | Drawer | Apps, Firefox OS, Firefox OS UX, US |
Drawers provide access to top-level navigation options that may be too numerous for a tabs or toolbar interface. Drawers can also be used to access user-generated content such as browser tabs, accounts in an email or messaging client, and so forth. Drawers slide out from the edge of the screen at the user's request (pushing the underlying content aside), then slide back out of the way when no longer needed. See the Coding guide for details on implementing drawers in your apps. | ||
28 | Coding guide: Drawers | Apps, Firefox OS, Firefox OS UX, Guide, UX |
Here you can find examples of how to create a drawer on Firefox OS, as well as downloads for the CSS and image resources used by the built-in apps on Firefox OS. You can copy these resources into your app and make use of them to build apps that match these apps' appearances. | ||
29 | Entry sheet | Apps, Firefox OS, Firefox OS UX, NeedsContent, Reference, Référence, UX |
An entry sheet is used to edit a single setting or option in your app that either contains a large number of possible values (such as a text entry form or a long list of choices) or requires multiple inputs or selections, such as configuring and connecting to a WiFi network. | ||
30 | Multi select | Apps, Firefox OS, Firefox OS UX, Guide, UX |
Multi-select mode is used to let the user perform "bulk actions;" that is, to select a number of items and then act on all of them at once. This may be something like deleting six emails from the user's inbox or choosing two photos to email to a friend. Multi-select mode actually encompasses two similar but functionally different modes: multi-select mode, for choosing multiple items and performing actions on them; and edit mode, which lets the user change existing data in the list (such as editing data in a table) and then save or discard the changes. | ||
31 | Coding guide: Multi select | Apps, Firefox OS, Firefox OS UX, UX |
Here you can find examples of how to implement the multi-select mode (also known as "edit mode") on Firefox OS, as well as downloads for the CSS and image resources used by the built-in apps on Firefox OS. You can copy these resources into your app and make use of them to build apps that match these apps' appearances. | ||
32 | Search | Apps, Firefox OS, Firefox OS UX, Guide, NeedsContent, UX |
A search bar lets users use keywords to locate content within an app, on the device, or online. An app can specify what types of content are shown in the search results. Search can also be used to filter long lists, such as contacts. | ||

35 | Installed app considerations | Guide, UX |
When designing an installable Open Web App, there are a number of considerations to keep in mind about how the app will behave after it is installed. This article provides advice on each one. | ||
36 | Planning your app | Apps, B2G, Firefox OS, Guide, Mobile |
Once you have an idea for a Web app, you should carefully plan it before you start to do any coding or design. This will be amazingly obvious to most of you, but it's a point that cannot be overstated, whether you're creating a completely new app, or repurposing an existing application. This article covers the main concepts to keep in mind as you plan an application and prepare for implementation. | ||

39 | Graphics and UX | Apps, CSS, Canvas, Firefox OS, Graphics, Guide, HTML, Layout, SVG, UX, WebGL |
When creating Open Web Apps, you need to give a lot of consideration to the look and feel, user experience and workflow of your applications. In previous parts of this material we looked at application planning and flexible layouts for applications, and in this section we will go further, looking at both general patterns and design techniques that work for Open Web Apps, and specific techniques and assets that will help you put together great-looking Firefox OS apps that match the experience of the device's default applications. | ||
40 | Open web app architecture | Apps |
Apps can be installed from the server that hosts them ("self-hosting") or from a store. Mozilla launched the Firefox Marketplace in a test mode for apps in 2012. Other third-party app stores are also possible using this architecture. Apps can be free or paid. Stores can support validation of purchases to ensure that apps are run only by users who purchased them. The Firefox Marketplace will support this. | ||

43 | Cordova support for Firefox OS | Apps, Cordova, Firefox OS, Phonegap |
The Apache Cordova project (which powers Adobe's Phonegap tool) is an industry standard solution for writing an app with open web technologies, and then generating native app versions that will work seamlessly on other platforms such as iOS and Android. As of version 3.1, Cordova is extended to support the creation of open web apps that can be installed on Firefox OS. In this article we will look at how to use the Firefox OS extension to Cordova, and what benefits it brings to the table. | ||

46 | Web components and Mozilla Brick | Web Components, brick, building blocks, x-tag |
There is a problem with the Web as a platform for applications: HTML, the language that makes it easy to mark up documents and give them meaning doesn't have enough elements to build applications. There are quite a few new elements in the HTML5 spec, but their support is sketchy across browsers and there are still a lot of widgets missing that other platforms like Flex or iOS give developers out-of-the-box. As a result, developers build their own "widgets" like menu bars, slider controls and calendars using non-semantic HTML (mostly <div> elements) and make them interactive using JavaScript and theme-able using CSS. |

48 | X-Tag and the Web Components Family | Web Components, shadow dom, web components, x-tag |
In the last few years we've witnessed an evolution in what 'app' means to both developers and consumers. The word app evokes the idea of a rich, task-oriented user experience with highly optimized user interface that responds to its environment and can be used on an array of common devices. In order to make development of rich app experiences easier, native platforms have generated many of their own controls and components that Just Work™. | ||
49 | X-Tags and custom elements | Apps, B2G, Firefox OS, Mobile, Web Components, web components, x-tags |
X-tags are custom HTML elements that give you a collection of building blocks (components) for developing HTML5 apps. If you don't see the component you need, you can define your own x-tag and use it like any other native HTML tag. Listed below are ten x-tags and a description of what they are used for. | ||

It is a tool that lets you perform queries on the contents of a CVS archive; you can: get a list of checkins, see what checkins have been made by a given person, or on a given CVS branch, or in a particular time period. It also includes tools for looking at checkin logs (and comments); doing diffs between various versions of a file; and finding out which person is responsible for changing a particular line of code ("cvsblame"). | ||
73 | Bookmark Keywords | User_Documentation |
Practically every Web surfer has bookmarks, of course, and power surfers usually have hundreds stuffed into folders within folders. In addition to being handy pointers to useful resources, bookmarks in Mozilla can be used to make the address bar itself a power tool. Searches, lookups, package tracking, and even word definitions can all be retrieved from user-customized bookmarks. | ||

77 | Creating a Microsummary | Microsummaries, Obsolete |
A microsummary generator is a set of instructions for creating a microsummary from the content of a page. Web pages can reference generators via <link rel="microsummary"> elements in their <head> elements. Generators can also be independently downloaded and installed by users if they include a list of pages to which they apply. |
||
78 | Creating a Mozilla Extension | Add-ons, Extensions |
A Mozilla extension is an installable enhancement to the Mozilla browser that provides additional functionality (for example Linky, which adds an item to the context menu for opening multiple links in a document or selection). This tutorial walks you through the process of building a Mozilla extension that adds an icon to Mozilla's status bar showing the current status of the Mozilla source code (i.e. whether or not the latest version of the code is compiling successfully and passing tests). The extension will access Tinderbox, mozilla.org's webtool for tracking source code status, to get the status of the code. | ||
79 | Adding the structure | Add-ons, Extensions |
The UI for our extension is an icon in the status bar. To implement this UI, we'll add a statusbarpanel element to the statusbar element in the navigator.xul file. |
||
80 | Conclusion | Add-ons, Extensions |
You now have a working Mozilla extension installer! To test it, try installing the extension on a fresh copy of Mozilla by loading the file in your Mozilla browser (this works whether you load it from the web or from your local hard drive via a file:/// URL). Mozilla will automatically detect that the file is an installer and ask you if you want to install the software. Try installing the extension, restarting Mozilla, and see if it works. |

84 | Finding the code to modify | Add-ons, Extensions |
Now that we've found the file to edit, we need to find the specific code within that file. Again, the DOM Inspector makes this easy. The "Document - DOM Nodes" pane on the left-hand side of the Inspector window displays a tree representation of the browser window's XUL file. When you select a node in the tree, a red border flashes for several seconds around the visual representation of that node in the browser window. | ||

86 | Making a Mozilla installation modifiable | Add-ons, Extensions |
Mozilla's user interface is made up of XUL (described below), XBL (a topic for another tutorial), JavaScript, CSS, and image files. XUL, XBL, JavaScript, and CSS files are all in text format and can be edited in a standard text editor, while image files are in binary GIF, JPG, or PNG format and must be edited with an image editing program. | ||
87 | Making it into a dynamic overlay and packaging it up for distribution | Add-ons, Extensions |
Now that we have a static overlay we're in good shape to create a XPI package that installs our extension as a dynamic overlay. XPIs have a complex structure designed to separate UI layers from each other. To make our XPI we'll start out by creating a directory to hold the files we're going to add to the XPI. Then we'll modify URLs in our files so they point to the right place. After that we'll create a contents.rdf file describing the tinderstatus component for the chrome registry and an install.js script to perform the installation. Finally we'll zip the files into an archive. |
||
88 | Making it into a static overlay | Add-ons, Extensions |
Now that we have a working Mozilla extension that shows tinderbox status, we need to make it distributable to other users. The two ways of doing that are to integrate it into the Mozilla codebase (in which case it is no longer an extension but rather part of the default Mozilla distribution) and to package it into an installer that users can run from within Mozilla to add the extension to their Mozilla installation. | ||
89 | Prerequisites | Add-ons, Extensions |
In order to complete this tutorial you need to have and know how to use the following programs on your computer: | ||
90 | Specifying the appearance | Add-ons, Extensions |
Now that we have defined a panel in which to display an icon, we use CSS to specify which icon to display. For this we have to first create four icons, one for each tinderbox state (none, success, test failed, and busted), then create a set of CSS rules that displays the icon corresponding to the current tinderbox state: | ||
91 | Tinderbox | Add-ons, Extensions |
Tinderbox is a web tool for tracking the status of the Mozilla source code. It consists of a set of client machines that continuously build and test Mozilla and report their results back to a server that makes those results available via a web page. The tool enables mozilla.org to be immediately notified of changes to the code that prevent Mozilla from compiling and running (or compromise performance and footprint) so they can get someone to fix the problem or reverse the changes. | ||
92 | Creating a Release Tag | Junk |
Here are directions for creating a release from a linux system. Note that there are a couple of extra files for Win32 and Macintosh that aren't pulled by the normal script and need to be pulled by hand. The mini-branch is created so you can check in the build scripts with the necessary changes without touching the original branch. | ||
93 | Creating a Skin for Firefox/Getting Started | Add-ons, Themes, add-ons |

94 | Creating a Skin for Mozilla | Add-ons, NeedsUpdate, O, Themes, add-ons |
In order to create a skin for mozilla, you will need to know three things. How to edit images, extract zip files, and how to modify CSS. Mozilla uses standard gif, png, and jpeg images for the buttons and CSS to style everything else in the interface. | ||
95 | FAQ | Add-ons, NeedsUpdate, Ob, Themes, add-ons |
Unfortunately, yes. Every time there is a major change made to the interface, either visible or behind the scenes, your skin will have problems. When the Mozilla developers make changes like this, they increase the skin version number. This is the number that is defined in contents.rdf. Test your skin with every major release of Mozilla. If a message appears in the preferences window telling you that it's an old skin, you're going to have to look over the code to see what changed. | ||

109 | Dehydra Frequently Asked Questions | Dehydra |
Initially Dehydra was written as an easy way to look for patterns in Control Flow Graphs (CFGs). Images of those graphs reminded me of the multiheaded Hydra monster. Thus De-hydra can be thought of as a decapitating tool for slaying CFGs. Currently Dehydra does not provide the CFG functionality, this functionality is now provided by Treehydra. | ||
110 | Dehydra Function Reference | |
The following functions may be provided by the analysis script and will be called by Dehydra while compiling. See the Dehydra object reference for details on the available object properties. | ||

129 | Firefox Sync | Sync |
Sync refers to a family of related components and services which provide synchronization of data between Mozilla application instances. These components and services include: | ||
130 | Code snippets | |
This page documents how to perform custom actions with Firefox Sync via JavaScript. | ||
131 | JavaScript Client API | Sync |
This page describes how to use the internal client-side Sync JavaScript API. This API is available in Mozilla-based products that use Sync, such as Firefox desktop. This document is somewhat outdated, and the API isn't well-supported for use from add-ons; tread carefully. | ||
132 | Syncing custom preferences | Sync |
When preferences sync is enabled, Firefox Sync will synchronize preferences between the same application based on a whitelist. That means preferences between Firefox and Fennec, for instance, are never synced. To sync preferences between Firefoxes, Fennecs, Thunderbirds, etc., ensure the prefs are whitelisted. | ||

Original doc: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/help.../content_packs I hesitate to call it "original", tho, because I've basically rewritten the entire thing so that it's easier and faster to use to create Help content. The previous document had a lot of places where ideas were simply introduced without explanation, and I've tried to go through things a bit more slowly with better descriptions. This is still very much a work in progress, tho, and I need to complete the rest of it soon (where "complete" means "use what's there that's good, build on the stuff that's not as good, and add other useful information as necessary". | ||

If you are in need of calling Java code from within a Firefox extension, you can make use of LiveConnect. LiveConnect gives your extension's JavaScript code (linked from or contained in XUL code) access to 2 objects: java and Packages (note that per this thread, although the new documentation for the LiveConnect reimplementation states that these globals will be deprecated (in the context of applets), "Firefox and the Java Plug-In will continue to support the global java/Packages keywords, in particular in the context of Firefox extensions."). These 2 objects let you make use of the standard JDK classes, e.g., |

146 | JavaScript crypto | Non Standard |
Mozilla defines a special JavaScript object to allow web pages access to certain cryptographic-related services.

This method will generate a sequence of CRMF requests that has N requests. One request for each key pair that is generated. The first three parameters will be applied to every request. The "escrowAuthorityCert" parameter will only be used for requests that pertain to a key that is being escrowed. After the "escrowAuthorityCert" parameter, the method takes some JavaScript code that is invoked when the CRMF request is ready. Finally, there are 1 or more sets of key generation arguments. Each key generation will be associated with its own request. All the requests will have the same DN. | ||

225 | Identity Provider Overview | Extensions, Graphics, Persona, Tutorial |
A Persona Identity Provider (IdP) is a domain which directly signs and certifies the identities of its users. Because Persona identities are based on email addresses, any domain which offers email to its users is a natural fit for becoming an IdP. | ||
226 | Implementing a Persona IdP | Persona |
After you've read the Identity Provider overview, this document will guide you through implementing a Persona Identity Provider (IdP). This page provides a guide to implementating an IdP. For details of the current data formats used by Persona, you should refer to the BrowserID specification. | ||
227 | Internationalization | Persona |
In the future, the user interface for signing into sites with Persona will be directly integrated into the browser, and thus localized along with the browser's own localization. For browsers without integrated support, Persona's user interface consists of a series of dialogs served from login.persona.org. These dialogs are translated by a team of community volunteers, and more than 45 locales are currently enabled in production. | ||
228 | Libraries and plugins | Persona |
Want to use Persona on your website or blog? Implementing Persona from scratch is easy, but the plugins and libraries listed here might get you going faster! This page lists three types of libraries: 1. Plugins that integrate Persona with existing frameworks and content management systems 2. Utility libraries that are useful when building new plugins or integrating Persona into a site from scratch 3. Everything else related to Persona, including libraries for turning your domain into a Persona Identity Provider This is a community-maintained list. If you've created a library or plugin, please add it to this page. |
||
229 | Persona Hosted Services | Persona |
To be truly successful and decentralized, Persona needs support from three different groups: | ||
230 | Protocol Overview | Persona |
Persona is built on the BrowserID protocol. This page describes the BrowserID protocol at a high level. | ||
231 | Quick Setup | Persona |
Adding the Persona login system to your site takes just five steps: | ||
232 | Remote Verification API | Persona |
When a user tries to log into a website, their browser generates a data structure called an assertion, which is essentially a cryptographically signed email address. The browser sends this assertion to the website, which must verify that the assertion is valid before logging the user in. | ||
233 | Security considerations | Persona |
When you add Persona support to your website, Persona takes on as much of the security burden as it can. However, some aspects of security can only be handled by your website. They're listed below. | ||
234 | The implementor's guide | Persona |
The Quick setup guide should be enough to get you started, but when building a full production site you'll probably need features that aren't covered in that guide. In this page we've collected features that are commonly needed by sign-in systems, and explained the best-practice way to implement them with Persona. | ||
235 | Adding extra email addresses with Persona | Persona |
It's a good idea to allow your users to add extra email addresses to their account. This enables users to change their email addresses, and to access their account with you even if they are unable to access their primary email account. | ||
236 | Call logout() after a failed login | Persona |
After your onlogin handler gets called with an assertion, if for any reason you can't use the assertion to log the user in, you must call navigator.id.logout() . |
||
237 | Call request() only from a click handler | Persona |
The Persona dialog is currently implemented as a popup window. Modern web browsers typically block popups, unless they are triggered directly by a mouse click or a key press. This means that your call to navigator.id.request() or navigator.id.get() must be made directly from a click or keypress handler. If it's made in response to some other event, the popup won't be shown and the user won't be able to sign in. |
||
238 | Enabling users to change their email address | Persona |
Because in Persona usernames are email addresses, it's not obvious how you can let your users change their email address. We're working on improving the flow for this and at the moment it is a little awkward, but it is possible if you follow these steps: | ||
239 | Problems integrating with CRSF protection | Persona |
If you implement a particular type of protection against CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) login attacks, you will experience a problem when a user has multiple pages open on your site, and then tries to log in using one of them. This document explains what the problem is, and how to resolve it. | ||
240 | Supporting users without JavaScript | Persona |
Persona currently requires JavaScript. If you need to support users who don't have JavaScript enabled, you'll have to implement an alternative login scheme for these users, and disable the "Sign in with Persona" button, enabling it in the JavaScript code that connects the sign-in button to navigator.id.request() |
||
241 | Testing | Persona, checkmate |
If you're making a production system you will need to write integration tests that simulate logging a user in and out of your site using Persona. | ||
242 | The navigator.id API | |
With Persona, a website asks the user to provide an "assertion", which is a digitally signed email address. By verifying the signature, the site can be assured that the user really does control the address in question. The site can then use this email address as an identifier for that user. | ||
243 | User Interface guidelines | Persona |
Presenting sign-in options to users without confusing them can be difficult, especially if your site offers multiple sign-in options. This article aims to provide guidance about the best way to present Persona sign-in to your users. It covers four different possible approaches, depending on the different sign-in options the website supports: | ||
244 | Why Persona for Mozilla? | Featured, Intro, Persona |
Persona utilizes a safe, two-click system built on top of public-key cryptography for logging in to websites. The user's browser generates a cryptographic affirmation of identity that expires after a few minutes and is only valid on one site. By avoiding passwords, users do not need to worry about remembering several distinct passwords and need no longer be concerned with unsecure access to their password. This quick and easy sign-in process eliminates the current inefficiencies of traditional account registration and allows users to quickly establish accounts on websites. | ||
245 | Plug-n-Hack | Security, plugnhack |
Plug-n-Hack (PnH) is a proposed standard from the Mozilla security team for defining how security tools can interact with browsers in a more useful and usable way. | ||

While this project has been started by the Mozilla Security Team and has been validated with Firefox and OWASP ZAP, this is an open project and we welcome involvement from anyone, especially people working on other browsers and security tools. | ||
247 | Plug-n-Hack Phase1 | Security, plugnhack |
Plug-n-Hack (PnH) phase 1 allows easier integration and defines how security tools can advertise their capabilities to browsers. | ||

253 | Prism | prism |
Prism is a simple XULRunner-based browser that hosts web applications without the normal web browser user interface. Prism is based on a concept called Site-Specific Browsers (SSB). An SSB is designed to work exclusively with a single web application. It doesn’t have the menus, toolbars and other accoutrements of a traditional web browser. An SSB also offers tighter integration with the operating system and desktop than a typical web application running through a web browser. Applications running in an SSB are therefore able to benefit from many of the advantages of the desktop and of the web at the same time. | ||

258 | Configuration | prism |
A webapp profile is a simple, INI-style text file that specifies some parameters about a webapp. The profile can be used to launch the webapp in Prism. The parameters also control some of the features of the Prism host window. Here is the list of parameters: | ||
259 | Extensions | |
Prism has support for extensions. Extensions are built using the same methods as any Mozilla-based extension. Since Prism is a totally separate host application, there are some Prism-specific issues that you need to handle when creating your extension. Most notably, the Prism application ID and the differences in the user interface (UI). Extensions typically overlay the host application's UI to add toolbar buttons, menus and other features. One of Prism's features is an extreme lack of UI elements, which means that trying to use the same overlays in Firefox and Prism is really not possible. | ||
260 | FAQ | prism |
Prism is an application that integrates web applications into the desktop environment. It lets users start web applications from their desktop, start menu, and dock, and it opens those applications in their own window separate from a web browser and without the browser interface (back and forward buttons, location bar, etc.). | ||
261 | HostWindow | prism |
Prism hosts web applications in a simple, minimal window. The window does have some UI components (as shown in the screenshot below). Prism can be configured to show or hide several of the UI components. | ||
262 | Installer | prism |
The installer should configure the OS to associate *.webapp files with Prism. This means that when you double-click or launch a *.webapp file, Prism is launched and automatically opens the web application. | ||
263 | Scripting | prism |
Prism allows for some client-side web application customization. The web application bundle is allowed to hold a JavaScript file named webapp.js (called the webapp script). This file will be loaded into the Prism chrome window very much like a Firefox extension is loaded into the browser chrome window. It can contain the following functions: | ||
264 | Styling | prism |
Prism allows for some client-side web application styling. The web application bundle is allowed to hold a CSS file named webapp.css (called the webapp style). This file will be loaded into the web application content stylesheet and can override the web application's native styles. | ||

268 | Space Manager Detailed Design | Gecko |
The Space Manager and related classes and structures are an important of the Gecko Layout system, specifically Block Layout. See the High Level Design document for an overview of the Space Manager, and as an introduction to the classes, structures and algorithms container in this, the Detailed Design Document. | ||
269 | Space Manager High Level Design | Gecko |
The Space Manager and associated classes and structures are used by Block and Line layout to manage rectangular regions that are occupied and available, for correct handling of floated elements and the elements that flow around them. When elements are floated to the left or right in a layout, they take up space and influence where other elements can be placed. The Space Manager is responsible for keeping track of where space is taken up and where it is available. This information is used by block layout to correctly compute where other floated elements should be placed, and how much space is available to normal in-flow elements that flow around the floated bits. | ||

271 | Stress testing | |
Consume.exe from the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools can consume various resources: physical memory, CPU time, page file, disk space and even the kernel pool. Although for Win2003, it should install into WinXP fine (Win2000 compatibility is unknown). The only downside is you can't specify how much of the resource to use, only which one to consume. Also be warned: always remember the -time option, or you may be hitting that physical reset button sooner than you would have liked! | ||
272 | Structure of an installable bundle | Add-ons, Extensions, Search plugins, Themes, Toolkit API, XULRunner, add-ons |

281 | Abc Assembler Tests | |
It is possible to write tests using the abc assembler. The assembler code can be found in /utils/abcasm. Tests can be found in /test/acceptance/abcasm and end with the .abs extension. The tests are run using the same runtests.py script that is used for the actionscript tests. | ||
282 | Actionscript Acceptance Tests | |
The majority of the acceptance tests are written in actionscript and located in test/acceptance. | ||
283 | Tamarin Acceptance Test Template | |
This is the test template for Tamarin acceptance tests (placed in test/acceptance/feature_name): | ||
284 | Actionscript Performance Tests | |
Performance tests for tamarin are located in the test/performance directory. Similar to the acceptance tests set the environment variables AVM, ASC, BUILTINABC. The runtests.py test harness works by parsing the abc stdout for lines like: 'metric time 566'. The testconfig.txt file defines groups of tests to run (e.g. sunspider, scimark, language). By default the time for each test is output. Use the --memory flag to capture the maximum private bytes memory (high water mark) for a test. By default each test is run a single time. To run each test multiple times use the --iterations flag. When the number of iterations is greater than 2 all times are displayed in [], faster time is displayed in the output column, and the 95% confidence interval is calculated. The 95% confidence interval is the calculated percentage of the mean value to fall within 95% of the measured results. For example if the mean is 100 and the 95% confidence interval is 2%, 95% of the expected values should fall between 98 and 102. To compare two vms against each other export AVM2=<path 2nd="" to="" vm=""> or use --avm2=<path 2nd="" to="" vm="">. The percentage difference is calculated between the two vms. See the --help usage for more details about performance tests.</path></path> | ||
285 | Cmdline tests | |
The cmdline testsuite is located in test/cmdline. The testsuite allows more flexibility by coding scripts in python allowing any executable to run, sending commands to stdin, and asserting output using regular expressions. See test/cmdline/README document for more information. Two use cases for the cmdline testsuite: | ||
286 | Running Tamarin acceptance tests | |
The Tamarin acceptance tests can be used to verify your installation and or local changes that you have made to the source. To run acceptance tests on the android shell see the "Testing the Android Shell" heading below. Running the Tamarin test suite requires the following steps: | ||
287 | Running Tamarin performance tests | |
The tamarin performance tests can be used to measure performance changes made to tamarin. To run performance tests on the android shell see 'Testing the Android Shell' below. Running the performance tests requires the following steps: | ||

Treehydra is meant to be used for analyses that need more detail than Dehydra's flattened ASTs. Instead of representing code in "easy" form like Dehydra, Treehydra relies on GIMPLE, the GCC Internals "middle-end" intermediate representation. Treehydra simply reflects the GCC Internals structures into JavaScript. | ||

304 | Using SVK With Mozilla CVS | Developing Mozilla |
When working with Mozilla, you tend to accumulate patches which need to be reviewed, super-reviewed, and/or approved before they can be committed to the trunk. When you have only a few uncommitted patches, you can get by using cvs diff, and just editing the output to remove other patches before submitting. However, this approach quickly becomes unscalable, especially when you have different fixes in the same tree. Using a distributed versioning system like SVK takes out much of the hassle of managing your patches. | ||
305 | Using addresses of stack variables with NSPR threads on win16 | NSPR, Outdated_articles |
This is a cautionary note that may be old information for some of you. However, since it affects the portability of code, it was deemed prudent to include a short memo describing the issue. | ||
306 | Venkman | Extensions, Extensions:Tools, JavaScript, JavaScript:Tools, Tools, Venkman, Web Development, Web Development:Tools |
Venkman is the code name for Mozilla's JavaScript Debugger. It aims to provide a powerful JavaScript debugging environment for Mozilla based browsers namely Firefox, Netscape 7.x/9.x and SeaMonkey. Note that it is not included in the Gecko-based browsers such as K-Meleon, Galeon and Netscape 8.x. Venkman has been provided as part of the Mozilla install distribution since October 2001, as well as an extension package in XPI format. | ||

309 | Venkman Introduction | Tools, Venkman |
A powerful new tool is available for web developers for use in many Mozilla-based products, including Firefox, Mozilla Suite and Netscape 7.x. The JavaScript debugger, also called Venkman, has been a part of the Mozilla browser and the community of web and script developers there for some time. This article provides an overview and some practical examples of using the JavaScript debugger in web applications and web page scripting. This introduction is the first in a series of articles on Venkman and JavaScript debugging. Even if you are already using Venkman, the features, procedures, and tips described here will make you a more confident web developer and debugger. | ||

314 | Creating XPI Installer Modules | XPInstall |
Mozilla has introduced major changes to the way that themes and all the other parts of the UI are packaged. This new packaging scheme is called XPI (pronounced "zippy"), and interacts with XPInstall. A XPI file typically contains the resources to be installed (in this case the barley.jar we want to have installed in the Mozilla/bin/chrome/ directory) and an install script that guides the installation process. |

324 | Examples | |
Trigger Scripts and Install Scripts describes typical kinds of script that use the XPInstall API. | ||
325 | File.macAlias | |
In this example, a mac alias is created for software (AppleCD Audio Player) that is installed locally. | ||
326 | File.windowsShortcut | |
In this example, the windowsShortcut method is used to add a shortcut in the Program directory ("Program" is a keyword for the directory in which the program itself is installed, for example, C:\Program Files\Netscape\Netscape 6\" on Windows) to Windows software (misc.exe) that is installed in the "Windows" directory. | ||
327 | Install.addDirectory | |
The Install object's addDirectory method queues an entire directory for installation once performInstall is called. | ||
328 | Install.addFile | |
The Install object's addFile method is the standard way to queue files for installation. | ||
329 | InstallTrigger.installChrome | |
Trigger scripts are typically invoked by JavaScript event handlers on hyperlinks. When a user clicks the link "Install the New Blue theme" in the example below, XPInstall downloads, registers, and installs the theme contained in newblue.xpi to the user's profile directory. | ||
330 | InstallTrigger.startSoftwareUpdate | |
This is a very simple example of the InstallTrigger object's principal method, startSoftwareUpdate, which takes a string representing the path to the XPI and installs that XPI on the local machine. | ||
331 | Trigger Scripts and Install Scripts | |
Trigger scripts are simple installations that can be initiated from event handlers and other JavaScript code on a web page. | ||

"ECMAScript for XML" (ECMA-357), a new standard for writing and processing XML directly in JavaScript (ECMA-262, ISO-16262). E4X marries XML and JavaScript syntax, and extends JavaScript to include namespaces, qualified names, and XML elements and lists. E4X also adds new JavaScript operators for filtering XML lists, and for enumerating XML children and descendants. Another E4X feature: the ability to bind a W3C DOM document to a new XML object, reflecting the DOM in E4X terms so that updates to either the DOM or the E4X object hierarchy show up in the other. | ||

354 | SVG And Canvas In Mozilla | Presentations, SVG |
Today's Web browsers offer somewhat limited graphics capabilities to Web developers. Advances in hardware, especially graphics processors, offer the potential for far richer graphics in interactive applications. To realize this potential in Web applications, browsers must expose rich new graphics APIs to Web content. The Mozilla project will meet this challenge with two major new features to be delivered in Firefox 1.5: integrated SVG and a new canvas HTML element. Work is also underway "under the hood" on a new unified graphics architecture that uses 3D graphics processors to accelerate all rendering. This work provides additional benefits to Web developers such as the ability to apply SVG effects to HTML content. |

370 | Dialogs in XULRunner | XUL, XULRunner |
The last article in this series covered some simple XUL for creating windows, menus, and toolbars. This time I'll look at dialogs, including both custom dialogs and standard operating system dialogs. Dialogs are pretty fundamental to a desktop application. Certain types of dialogs are used so frequently that the OS can provide a default implementation. File open and save dialogs are good examples of these. Whenever possible, it is a good idea to reuse these "native" dialogs so users get a consistent experience across applications. | ||
371 | Getting started with XULRunner | Tutorials, XUL, XULRunner |
This article explores the Mozilla platform by building a basic desktop application using XULRunner. Given that Firefox, Thunderbird, and multiple other applications are written using the platform, it's a safe bet that it can be used to build a basic application. There is an article with a more complicated approach to building XULRunner applications at Creating XULRunner Apps with the Mozilla Build System. If you need to change XULRunner itself or integrate it with external binaries you may need to read that article. | ||
372 | How to enable locale switching in a XULRunner application | Localization |
This article is for developers who have localised their XUL application using DTD entity files and want to provide their users with a mechanism to switch the locale in the application itself. Normally the application locale is inherited from the OS environment of the host system, however there are situations when you might want to give users the option to override the default setting and choose a different locale. | ||

XULRunner application packages are standard toolkit bundles (like a Firefox extension), with one additional manifest file (application.ini ) which helps describe the application. XUL app packages are typically ZIPped into an archive with the extension .xulapp or .xpi. They can be installed to XULRunner with a command line flag "--install-app " if XULRunner is registered on the system. See Command Line Options for more details. |

397 | calICalendarView | Interfaces, Interfaces:Scriptable, XPCOM, XPCOM API Reference |
An object implementing calICalendarView is generally intended to serve as a way of manipulating a set of DOM nodes corresonding to a visual representation of calIEvent and calITodo objects. Because of this close association between methods and attributes on the one hand, and content on the other, calICalendarView implementations are particularly well suited to XBL. There is, however, no practical obstacle to the interface being implemented by any javascript object associated with a group of DOM nodes, even non-anonymous XUL nodes. |

405 | E4X | Obsolete |
ECMAScript for XML (E4X) is a programming language extension that adds native XML support to JavaScript. It does this by providing access to the XML document in a form that feels natural for ECMAScript programmers. The goal is to provide an alternative, simpler syntax for accessing XML documents than via DOM interfaces. A valid alternative to E4X is a non-native JXON algorithm. | ||
406 | E4X for templating | E4X |
E4X can be used for creating templates for dynamic content. | ||
407 | Processing XML with E4X | Obsolete |
First introduced in JavaScript 1.6, E4X introduces a native XML object to the JavaScript language, and adds syntax for embedding literal XML documents in JavaScript code. | ||
408 | E4X Tutorial | E4X, JavaScript, XML |
This tutorial walks you through the basic syntax of E4X (ECMAScript for XML). With E4X, programmers can manipulate an XML document with a syntax more familiar to JavaScript programming. | ||
409 | Accessing XML children | |
Normal JavaScript Objects use the . operator or [] notation to set properties. | ||
410 | Descendants and Filters | |
In many cases, the node that you're interested in is not the direct child of the top XML element. Instead, it may be nested several levels down. You can access nodes at any depth using the .. operator, or by using the descendants property. For instance |
||
411 | Introduction | E4X, JavaScript, XML |
With E4X enabled, basic XML elements are valid syntax for variables. For instance | ||
412 | Namespaces | |
Oftentimes, XML documents will contain elements from a variety of namespaces. You can declare the default namespace for your E4X objects by placing the statement: | ||
413 | The global XML object | |
E4X-capable JavaScript engines put a new property on the global object. The XML object has several properties that allow you to customize parsing and serialization of E4X. XML elements will remember the settings of the XML object from the time of their creation. |

Proxies are objects for which the programmer has to define the semantics in JavaScript. The default object semantics are implemented in the JavaScript engine, often written in lower-level languages like C++. Proxies let the programmer define most of the behavior of an object in JavaScript. They are said to provide a meta-programming API. | ||

480 | Part 1: Getting started with Marionette and Firefox OS | Automation, Firefox OS, Gaia, Python, gaia-ui-test, tests |
This tutorial series aims to get you onboard with writing and running automated UI tests for Firefox OS using Marionette, an automation package that runs on your computer. Marionette issues commands to run tests on Gecko-based platforms. This particular article will run you through the set up you need to do to before you can start running tests. | ||
481 | Part 2: Basic interactions with Firefox OS using Marionette | Automation, Firefox OS, Gaia, Python, gaia-ui-tests, tests |
In part 2 of our tutorial we’ll get started with some simple Marionette commands that allow us to remotely control Firefox OS. While this doesn't cover writing a full test, it teaches you the basic code features that you will use while writing a test. In part 3, we’ll progress onto evolving this code into a real test. | ||
482 | Part 3: Upgrading our code into a reusable test | |
We learnt in Part 2 that we can easily control Firefox OS using Marionette client commands, but typing them into a Python console is as slow and tedious. The key advantage of test automation is that it can run autonomously. We will learn how to do that in this part, as we put all of our code commands into a Python file that can then be run all in one go. | ||
483 | Part 4: Re-using commands to set up Firefox OS | Automation, Firefox OS, Gaia, Python, Testing, gaia-ui-tests |
In Parts 2 and 3 we got a working test, but if we wanted to reset its state (for example killing open apps) before running the test, we'd have to do this manually. That’s a bit tedious, so again we should automate it! In this part, we’ll look how to do this and more by breaking out bits of code into separate Python methods that we can re-use. | ||
484 | Part 5: Introducing a test runner | Automation, Firefox OS, Gaia, Python, gaia-ui-tests, tests |
Everything is going well so far, but we are still only dealing with one test. When testing a large real-world web app there may be tens or hundreds of test cases, and we certainly don't want to run each one manually. In such as scenario we need to use a test runner to find and execute the tests for us, and in this article we'll explore just that. | ||
485 | Part 6: Using tuples, and Marionette's By class | Automation, Firefox OS, Gaia, Python, Testing, gaia-ui-tests |
In our code so far, we have used many locators to find specific elements, whether they are apps (iFrames) or specific parts of apps. Up to now we have been writing locators directly inline and duplicating code, as a result. To improve the situation further, it is a good practice to abstract these locators out into Python tuple variables so they can be reused. In this article we'll show you how. | ||
486 | Part 7: Writing your own tests | Automation, Firefox OS, Gaia, Python, gaia-ui-tests, tests |
So far we've given you most of the tools and information you need to start writing your own automated tests on Firefox OS, along with enough steps to follow to get you up and running quickly. In this part we are going to go pretty hands off, providing you with some resources and ideas, and then encouraging you to make your own way. Here we will start moving you towards writing your own tests — enjoy! | ||
487 | Part 8: Using a base class | Automation, Firefox OS, Gaia, Python, gaia-ui-tests, tests |
Now you have multiple tests you are probably feeling pretty good about your progress. However there are other ways to improve code efficiency further — you may notice that you've so far had to include a setUp() and a tearDown() method in each test file, going by the current constructs we've seen in this series. If you have several dozen tests then that’s a lot of code duplication! In this article we'll look at how to put the setUp() /tearDown() code common to all tests into a TestBase class, which can then be imported into each individual test file. |
||
488 | Part 9: Reducing duplication with app objects | Automation, Firefox OS, Gaia, Python, app objects, gaia-ui-tests, tests |
In automated testing we often use app objects to abstract code. This reduces duplication of code and locators. If we need to change a common section of code we can change it only in a single app object, rather than having to change it in 10 or 20 test files. This article provides the basics of how to use app objects. |

491 | MTBF tests | Automated testing, Gaia, MTBF, gaiatest |
Mean time between failures (MTBF) is the predicted elapsed time between inherent failures of a system during operation. MTBF can be calculated as the arithmetic mean (average) time between failures of a system. The MTBF is typically part of a model that assumes the failed system is immediately repaired (mean time to repair, or MTTR), as a part of a renewal process. This is in contrast to the mean time to failure (MTTF), which measures average time to failures with the modeling assumption that the failed system is not repaired (infinite repair time). | ||

This article details how the toools package works, and how it can be installed. | ||
495 | Viewing CI test results | Automation, Jenkins, Treeherder, tests |
Whenever a pull request is created against mozilla-b2g's gaia repository, Mozilla picks up that branch and runs the Gaia suite of tests against it. This is very similar to how Travis works. | ||
496 | Writing Gaia Unit Tests | Firefox OS, Gaia, Guide, Testing, unit tests |
The unit test runner is mocha using the TDD interface. Mocha doesn't ship with an assertion library (there is no ok or assert_equals ), so we use chai to provide assertions. |

1199 | Customization with the .userconfig file | Firefox OS, build, userconfig |
The .userconfig file isn't checked into source code control, so your changes won't be overwritten when you update your source tree. It needs to be created in the root of the B2G tree; that is, in the same directory as flash.sh , build.sh , and so forth. You should add this before you run your config and build steps. |
||
1200 | Debugging on Firefox OS | Debugging, Firefox OS, QA, Testing |

||
1204 | Debugging and security testing with Firefox OS | Apps, Debugging, Firefox OS, Security, Testing |
This guide includes the following subsections: | ||
1205 | Debugging out of memory errors on Firefox OS | |
When a Firefox OS device runs out of memory, the the low-memory killer and low-memory notifications systems come into play to kill some processes and keep the OS running. When the kernel chooses to kill the foreground process, this manifests as an apparent crash of the app you're using. This article describes how to understand and debug (out of memory) OOM crashes. | ||
1206 | Developer settings for Firefox OS | Debugging, Firefox OS |
Contained in the Firefox OS Settings app is the Developer panel. This panel offers a number of options that can make debugging your open web app on Firefox OS easier. | ||

||
1209 | Intercepting Firefox OS traffic using a proxy | Apps, Debugging, Firefox OS, Gaia, Security, Testing |
Working with apps that are nothing but HTML and JavaScript, you'll find that a lot of the really interesting work involves using APIs that transfer data over the Web. That means it's often useful to look at the HTTP requests that these apps perform. Proxy tools like Burp and ZAP have useful features for monitoring such traffic. They provide manifests containing information on how clients should configure themselves, including root certificates to install for TLS termination, etc. | ||
1210 | On-device console logging | Debugging, Firefox OS, Guide, Logging, web console |
In addition to being able to log console output and view it using the remote web console, you can log console output into the device's onboard file store, then retrieve the logs later from your computer using the logcat utility and a USB connection. This article covers how to enable this feature, how to perform the logging, and how to retrieve the logs. |
||
1211 | Setting up to debug Firefox OS using Firefox Developer Tools | Debugging, Firefox OS |

1213 | Testing in a privileged context: Shipping your own Gaia apps | Apps, Firefox OS, Security, Testing |
This article takes you through how to test privileged apps before they are submitted to a Marketplace. | ||
1214 | Developer Mode | Developer Mode, Enable, Firefox OS, Settings, Tools, Web Activities, WebIDE |
The current Firefox OS permissions model precludes modification and installation of certified/internal apps, which makes some device APIs completely unavailable to Marketplace and web apps. Developer Mode (DM) allows the user to indicate that they would like to relax the permissions model and expose all device APIs to content, as well as setting a group of related preferences. This article provides a high-level overview. | ||
1215 | Developing Firefox OS | Developing, Firefox OS |

1221 | Firefox OS Simulator | Apps, Firefox OS, Tools |
The Firefox OS Simulator is a version of the higher layers of Firefox OS that simulates a Firefox OS device, but runs on the desktop. This means that in many cases, you don't need a real device to test and debug your app. It runs in a window the same size as a Firefox OS device, includes the Firefox OS user interface and built-in apps, and simulates many of the Firefox OS device APIs. | ||
1222 | Firefox OS Simulator 4.0 | |
The Firefox OS Simulator add-on is a tool that enables you to test and debug your Firefox OS app on the desktop. The code-test-debug cycle is much faster with the simulator than with a real device, and of course, you don't need a real device in order to use it. | ||

1355 | B2G IPC internals | |
In FirefoxOS we have a Multi-process Architecture where the apps on the phone are running in a different process which has the least amount of privileges. On a running system we have a single parent process called b2g. The b2g process has a child process called nuwa, this process will be used to fork the app processes. Whenever a new app is being started on the phone, b2g tells nuwa that we need a new process. By default, child processes are run with a minimal set of privileges. For every action they want to perform (that needs more privileges), they need to go through the parent process (b2g). This is where the Inter-process Communication (IPC) comes into place. Each child has a connection, using an IPC channel, to the parent which will be used for its communication. The process layout is illustrated on the right. |

1387 | Intro to Firefox OS | Apps, Firefox OS, Gecko, Quickstart, Video |
Firefox OS (also referred to by its codename "Boot to Gecko" or "B2G") is Mozilla's open source mobile operating system, based a Linux kernel, which boots into a Gecko-based runtime engine that lets users run applications developed entirely using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and open web application APIs. Firefox OS is a mobile operating system that's free from proprietary technology while still a powerful platform that provides application developers an opportunity to create excellent products. In addition, it's flexible and capable enough to make the end user happy. | ||

1402 | Firefox OS apps architecture | Apps, Firefox OS, Guide |
When the user selects an app they'd like to launch, or an app otherwise needs to be launched, the home screen app starts by getting an app reference from the App API, then calling the App.launch() method to launch the app. |
||
1403 | Firefox OS settings list | API, Firefox OS, Reference, Référence, Settings, WebAPI |
Firefox OS offers a number of settings that configure the device and its built-in features. These settings can be accessed by certified apps using the Settings API. | ||
1404 | Gaia | Firefox OS, Gaia, Landing, Mobile |
Gaia is the user interface level of B2G OS. Everything that appears on the screen after B2G OS starts up is drawn by Gaia, including the lock screen, home screen, dialer, and other applications. Gaia is written entirely in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Its only interface to the underlying operating system and hardware is through standard Web APIs, which are implemented by Gecko. | ||
1405 | Gaia apps | Apps, Architecture, Firefox OS, Gaia |
Gaia is the front-end of Firefox OS, which contains system administration functionality and the built-in suite of apps shipped with Firefox OS devices. All the Gaia source code — even the system, and keyboard IMEs — is fully implemented with HTML5 (HTML + CSS + JavaScript) & Open WebAPIs. This set of documents contains information on how each of the default apps available in the Gaia family works. | ||
1406 | Browser | Apps, B2G, Browser, Firefox OS, Gaia, Guide |

1407 | Gaia Video app | Apps, Gaia, Video |
The Video app is a simple video player that allows you to play any videos stored on your Firefox OS device's storage media. | ||
1408 | Settings | Apps, B2G, Firefox OS, Gaia, JavaScript, Settings |
The Settings app allows users to configure device settings and also responds to incoming activities that allow app developers to display specific settings views from apps (e.g. show the wifi settings panel if no data connection is available). This article explains how it works. | ||
1409 | System | Apps, B2G, FTU, Firefox OS, Gaia, JavaScript, UI, lock screen, system |
The System app is the first web app loaded by Gecko during the Firefox OS bootup procedure, and it handles numerous responsibilities that are required generally for the running of the system, and are therefore not scoped per individual web app. This article explains in detail how System works. | ||
1410 | Window Management | Apps, B2G, Firefox OS, Window Management, system |
In general, a window manager is the part of an application that controls the placement and appearance of windows in a graphical user interface. This article looks at how Firefox OS handles Window Management. | ||
1411 | Introduction to Gaia | Apps, B2G, Gaia, Settings |
The lock screen shows the network carrier, current time and date, and a slidebar allowing the user to unlock the phone or go straight to the camera to take a picture. If the user has got a passcode lock set, the lock screen will also show a passcode entry interface. | ||
1412 | LockScreen Architecture (v1.5+) | |
The current LockScreen in Gaia is a monolithic component, which is even the second large file in the System app according to its LOC. This make it hard to reasonably add/modify/remove functions and even change styles. | ||
1413 | Gonk | Firefox OS, Gecko, Gonk, Linux, Mobile, Mozilla, NeedsContent, porting |
Gonk is the kernel-level component in the B2G OS stack that serves as the interface between Gecko and the underlying hardware. Gonk controls the underlying hardware and exposes hardware capabilities to Web APIs implemented in Gecko. Gonk can be seen as the “black box” that does all the complex, detailed work behind the scenes to control the mobile device by enacting requests at the hardware level. | ||

1415 | Out of memory management on Firefox OS | Firefox OS, Gaia, LMK, OOM, Out of memory, low memory killer, low memory notifications, oom_adj |
Firefox OS runs on some severely memory-constrained devices, and it's easy for apps to exhaust the memory available on such systems. When a process exhausts the memory available on the system, the kernel must kill some other processes in order to free up memory. This article describes how the low memory killer and low memory notifications work — the two systems on the device that control what processes are killed to keep the main system running when it has run out of memory. | ||

JXON (lossless JavaScript XML Object Notation) is a generic name by which is defined the representation of JavaScript Objects using XML. There are no real standards for this conversion, but some conventions begin to appear on the web. There are some cases in which the whole content of an XML document must be read from the JavaScript interpreter (like for web-apps languages or settings XML documents, for example). In these cases JXON could represent the most practical way. | ||

1486 | Page types | |
Before working on the MDN style guide (and the redesign that goes hand-in-hand with it), we need to figure out what types of pages we have, then what those pages look like. This is a list of the types of pages and key attributes of those pages. | ||
1487 | API info boxes | MDN |
Main API pages (also known as "technology" pages) are used to provide an overview of a given class, interface, object, or CSS property. Each of these types of technology has specific key points that need to be summarized and displayed. Near the top of the page is an area reserved for a box containing this summary. This page shows what each of those should, roughly, look like. | ||
1488 | Breadcrumb bar | MDN |
In the heading area of every page on MDN is a breadcrumb bar showing the hierarchy of content between the site's root and the user's current location. This page discusses that bar and its features. | ||
1489 | Edit the Article | MDN |
The summary is a brief paragraph or two explaining the technology; this comes before the first section heading in the article. | ||
1490 | Landing page | MDN |
The first part of the page is a brief summary of what the landing page's content is about. Typically this is just a paragraph or two explaining the API or technology being covered. This text is used as the Google summary for SEO purposes (although you can use the CSS class "seoSummary" to specifically choose parts of it to be used if you want to really make sure the best possible text is used). | ||
1491 | Main API page | MDN |
The page begins with a summary explaining the interface, object, class, or CSS property being described. This should be a paragraph or two at most, and is used as the SEO summary (which can be overridden using the "seoSummary" CSS class. | ||
1492 | Reference page | MDN |
The page begins with a summary explaining the interface, object, class, or CSS property being described. This should be a paragraph or two at most, and is used as the SEO summary (which can be overridden using the "seoSummary" CSS class. | ||

RecRoom is the codename of a new MDN area that will provide resources for beginning Web app developers, as well as overall best practices guides for app development. | ||
1495 | Remove in-content iframes | |
Each of the documents listed below has at least one in-place use of the <iframe> element within it. In order to improve performance and allow us to more easily revise and correct layout in the future, we need to quickly update all of these pages to use macros instead. This is somewhat urgent, as there is work that needs to be done by our development team that cannot begin until all of these are fixed. That's where you come in! |

1737 | Obsolete: XPCOM-based scripting for NPAPI plugins | |
Plugins that used to take advantage of being scriptable via LiveConnect in 4.x Netscape browsers lost this possibility in the new world. The main reason for this is that there is no guarantee of Java compatibility on a binary level due to the jri/jni switch. The new Mozilla XPCOM architecture allows XPCOM components be scriptable via a different mechanism called XPConnect. We leverage some of these ideas to help you make your Netscape Communicator 4.x plugins exposed to JavaScript in Mozilla based browsers. | ||

A new component of the plugin system is now available to measure how long it takes plugins (e.g., Adobe Flash) to execute their calls. This component then reports the plugin runtime using the observer service to anyone registered to receive the notifications. This article discusses how developers can make use of this new feature. | ||

Plugins are shared libraries that users can install to display content that the application itself can't display natively.

1835 | Supporting private browsing in plugins | |
Firefox 3.5 introduced private browsing, a mode in which potentially private information is not recorded in any way. It also introduced a mechanism by which plugins can determine whether or not private browsing mode is in effect. Plugins should be updated to monitor the state of private browsing mode and only save private information when private browsing is disabled. | ||
1836 | The First Install Problem | Add-ons, Plugins |
The First Install Problem is the name given to the conditions arising when a plugin or embeddable software installs itself on a system first, before any other Gecko-based browser. If this happens, Gecko-based browsers often won't be able to discover the plugin, and will prompt the user to download the plugin again if the affiliated MIME type is encountered on the Web. Unless Gecko does a pre-emptive scan upon startup for desirable plugins that are not in the browser's plugins directory first, the best way to solve this problem is to encourage plugin vendors to leave DLLs (and XPT files, if applicable) in a location that Gecko can discover at runtime. This document presents a consistent way to do that. | ||

1859 | Making sure your theme works with RTL locales | Add-ons, Right-to-left, Themes |
Some languages are written from right to left. Of the languages Firefox and Thunderbird are shipped in, that includes Arabic and Hebrew, with Persian available as beta, for a total population in excess of 100 million potential users. The important thing to understand about these locales, is that the entire interface is mirrored right-to-left. That means that text that had a left margin will have a right margin instead (or -moz-margin-start ), arrows that pointed right will have to point left and vice versa, and so on. |
