javascript injection

[DanCardin]

i may be being dense, but
javascript:alert('Alert box!');
does not work for me in firefox, but it works in Chrome and such. Any idea why?

You updated to firefox 6, huh? Yeah i decided to test the beta out. And when i initially read this, i said to myself, 'he must be doing something wrong.' So i then tried it. javascript:alert('hey'); Huh that's weird, now i must be doing something wrong. Opened internet explorer, copy pasted, boom. Pop up box saying hey. WTF. After a little Googling, i cam across this.

For security reasons, data: and javascript: URIs no longer inherit the security context of the current page when the user enters them in the location bar; instead, a new, empty, security context is created. This means that script loaded by entering javascript: URIs in the location bar no longer has access to DOM methods and the like, for example. These URIs continue to work as before when used by script, however.

Damn. I used to be completely in love with Firefox. But i've seriously updated it like eight times this summer. And well i lose more and more addons with each update along with shit like this. I suppose me and Firefox are just growing apart..
Mozilla, fuck you.

i mean i rather dislike the fact that now, i must open another browser to do this, but in terms of your losing addons: addon compatibility reporter shall fix that problem

Not always, although that does work for some.

People say you can still use the console for all your JS injection needs.

The updates have been confusing me. Firefox 3 was around for a long time before 4 came out. It seems 4 has only been around a short time, and they're already on 6? As for your addons problem, you can modify the addon so it thinks it's compatible with 5 or 6, works more than you'd expect

I dislike Chrome for two reasons: It doesn't ship with Slackware, and there aren't any Tamper Data-like adons (I've read that it isn't possible)

I'm actually using a version of Tamper Data on my Chrome....

Really? They must've changed things. Before, I read that addons couldn't modify headers in Chrome

Look up 'Request Maker' ... I don't think it's the same thing as before, but from what I've read it's pretty darn close...
