Chrome extension only showing part of the menu in Web Developer : Chrome

Thanks for looking into it. For what it's worth, here's what the Information tab looks like for me: [url]http://i.imgur.com/btThL.png[/url].

Chrome extension only showing part of the menu in Web Developer : Chrome

Weird - I just tried to get this to happen, but can't find a way. There is no setting for the extension or cache or web page for the extension popup so I'm not sure how to fix it. Maybe someone else will know a way to reset something internally to Chrome that will fix it.

Hi - Has anyone run into an issue where the little popup in the Chrome extension resizes itself? I can't see all of the options...I can only see the first two columns - it looks like maybe I zoomed into a page or something. Uninstalling, restrating, and installing again didn't help. Does anyone know if there's a setting to clear a cache or something for the extension that might resolve this? Or a domain that hosts the popup that I may have some a zoom setting for? Thanks!

Came here looking for info on WebDeveloper - excellent, excellent tool! Thought I'd register to the forums. Couldn't figure out why the captcha kept saying my math was wrong. Eventually determined I was spelling the answer instead of using a digit. DOH! Allowing the registrant to spell out the number would be a nice touch; giving a hint that one should answer one way or the other could even be an additional level to aid in bot identification. Figured out the answer I was looking for anyway (how to see the entire path from View Style Info). Though as this is the General forum will speak no more of that here. BTW, is the forum custom built, or are you using some canned software? Just curious. Thanks again for a great tool! It's a must have for anyone building or working on a site.

Web Site opening after running Firefox for the first time in Web Developer : Installation

As posted above if there is a Firefox preference set with the name 'webdeveloper.version' and the value '1.19' then the extension won't open the update notification. You can probably find more info about preferences on the Firefox help site, for example: [url]http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Preferences%20are%20not%20saved[/url]

How would we use a preference to stop it from checking? What would the preference file need to have? If a preference would do the trick, then we would figure something out on our end. Thanks. Regards, Nikita

Well, I can only think of two options: 1. Use a preference to stop it from checking. But this is essentially what is happening right now and because you wipe the hard drives there is nowhere for this preference to be stored. 2. Remove the functionality altogether for everyone. But this is not something I want to do as it is useful for sharing release notes to users who have just installed the extension. So I'm sorry, but at this point I don't really see a solution on my side.

Is there not a way to stop the extension from checking this in the first place? Thank you. Regards, Nikita

The extension looks for a Firefox preference called 'webdeveloper.version' that matches the current version - currently this would be '1.19' - and if they don't match then it will show the update information. If you are wiping the hard drives then there is not much I can do since the extension has no way to know if it has been run previously or not.

Web Site opening after running Firefox for the first time in Web Developer : Installation

Hello all, I work at a small non-profit and we use the Web Developer toolbar in one of our labs, and we love it. However, we also have deep freeze installed on all of those computers, which wipes the hard drive every night. When the users come back the next day and run Firefox, Web Developer thinks that it's being run for the first time, which means it opens a new tab, and then goes to this website. Ordinarily this would not have been a problem, but this happens everyday, which is getting kind of annoying for our users. This leads me to this question: Is there a way to prevent the Web Developer toolbar from going to this website after installation? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Regards, Nikita

I can't really say - it's something you will have to test yourself and if it's not working talk with the person who wrote the solution you linked to about why.
