How could i open firefox with specific page in javascript code ? is it possible ?
i saw that we can open firefox from command line, and we call this commande line from javascript via Shell function. but what i need is to open a specific page in firefox (with URL).
Thanks for your help
function executeCommands(inputparms)
{
var oShell = new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application");
var commandtoRun ="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe";
oShell.ShellExecute(commandtoRun,inputparms,"", "open", "1");
}
Well if you want to open a new window you can do it by Window.open() method
here is the link check out but if the browser is not working and you want to open whole browser by typing a js program on system not in browser you cannot do this.
Javascript works on browser only.
you can use command line in browser and simply type window.open("https://google.com","",width=800,height=600) and it will do the trick.
in order to open browser console go to tools tab in your browser and open developer tools>javascript console if you are using firefox simply press ctrl+shift+k
But if you want to open firefox from ie. by reaching the system shell it is not possible by javascript the kingdom of js is limited by browser you cannot reach system.

i´m currently using JavaScript and HTML with eel and Python. But unfortunately when I am trying to create a file in the Chrome-Browser window (as an download) over JS i can only download it once.
The second "download" is not working.
-> Chrome just shows this (as it does when it downloads something) but then nothing happens:
When I am using Edge browser or only JS without eel it works perfectly fine!
My JS function that creates the download: (string is a json string that is generated earlier).
var jsonLink = document.getElementById("jsonLink");
jsonLink.download = "exportedToJson.json";
jsonLink.href = "data:application/json;charset=utf-8," + encodeURIComponent(string);
Ok I found a solution:
My chrome browser was blocking more than one download from "localhost:8000". So I had to go to settings and allow more than one download.
Maybe this helps someone :)
Why did I not find this earlier:
When I started my Python script, it calls:
eel.start('index.html', mode='chrome', port=8000) #starting chrome
Which does open a new Chrome Tab without the Tabbar (so i did neither see the tabs nor my favorite sites). Therefore I did not get a notification when chrome stated that download is blocked.
But after starting the eel-local webserver and open localhost:8000 in my normal chrome window, I did get a notification and I was able to allow the downloads.
-> afterwards it also worked in this eel-chrome window.
today i'm facing problem that i can't solve my problem is very simple i wanted to make
chrome extension that allow me to do some easy steps exomple i wanted to open chrome setting
in new tab with my extension i did setting botton in the extension and the clear browser data
and open extension of chrome but when i try to open it when i click nothing happen it keep
give me this error =
Not allowed to load local resource: chrome://settings/
and my code is this =
<div class="flex"><i class="fas fa-cogs" style="color:darksalmon "></i></div>
please help me to solve this error please and thank you very much
You cannot use the standard HTML anchor to open an internal Chrome link. Chrome’s links are not valid navigation protocols, only these are:
Website
Email
Telephone
Document Section
JavaScript
For a internal Chrome link you should open a new tab and pass the internal link to it via the Tab API...
https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/tabs
Use the function "create"...
chrome.tabs.create({'url':'chrome://settings/','selected':true}, function(tab){
/// Whatever else goes in here...
});
How do i set up a custom protocol handler in chrome? Something like:
myprotocol://testfile
I would need this to send a request to http://example.com?query=testfile, then send the httpresponse to my extension.
The following method registers an application to a URI Scheme. So, you can use mycustproto: in your HTML code to trigger a local application. It works on a Google Chrome Version 51.0.2704.79 m (64-bit).
I mainly used this method for printing document silently without the print dialog popping up. The result is pretty good and is a seamless solution to integrate the external application with the browser.
HTML code (simple):
Click Me
HTML code (alternative):
<input id="DealerName" />
<button id="PrintBtn"></button>
$('#PrintBtn').on('click', function(event){
event.preventDefault();
window.location.href = 'mycustproto:dealer ' + $('#DealerName').val();
});
URI Scheme will look like this:
You can create the URI Scheme manually in registry, or run the "mycustproto.reg" file (see below).
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes
mycustproto
(Default) = "URL:MyCustProto Protocol"
URL Protocol = ""
DefaultIcon
(Default) = "myprogram.exe,1"
shell
open
command
(Default) = "C:\Program Files\MyProgram\myprogram.exe" "%1"
mycustproto.reg example:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\mycustproto]
"URL Protocol"="\"\""
#="\"URL:MyCustProto Protocol\""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\mycustproto\DefaultIcon]
#="\"mycustproto.exe,1\""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\mycustproto\shell]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\mycustproto\shell\open]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\mycustproto\shell\open\command]
#="\"C:\\Program Files\\MyProgram\\myprogram.exe\" \"%1\""
C# console application - myprogram.exe:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
namespace myprogram
{
class Program
{
static string ProcessInput(string s)
{
// TODO Verify and validate the input
// string as appropriate for your application.
return s;
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Raw command-line: \n\t" + Environment.CommandLine);
Console.WriteLine("\n\nArguments:\n");
foreach (string s in args)
{
Console.WriteLine("\t" + ProcessInput(s));
}
Console.WriteLine("\nPress any key to continue...");
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
Try to run the program first to make sure the program has been placed in the correct path:
cmd> "C:\Program Files\MyProgram\myprogram.exe" "mycustproto:Hello World"
Click the link on your HTML page:
You will see a warning window popup for the first time.
To reset the external protocol handler setting in Chrome:
If you have ever accepted the custom protocol in Chrome and would like to reset the setting, do this (currently, there is no UI in Chrome to change the setting):
Edit "Local State" this file under this path:
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\
or Simply go to:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\
Then, search for this string: protocol_handler
You will see the custom protocol from there.
Note: Please close your Google Chrome before editing the file. Otherwise, the change you have made will be overwritten by Chrome.
Reference:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa767914(v=vs.85).aspx
Chrome 13 now supports the navigator.registerProtocolHandler API. For example,
navigator.registerProtocolHandler(
'web+custom', 'http://example.com/rph?q=%s', 'My App');
Note that your protocol name has to start with web+, with a few exceptions for common ones (like mailto, etc). For more details, see: http://updates.html5rocks.com/2011/06/Registering-a-custom-protocol-handler
This question is old now, but there's been a recent update to Chrome (at least where packaged apps are concerned)...
http://developer.chrome.com/apps/manifest/url_handlers
and
https://github.com/GoogleChrome/chrome-extensions-samples/blob/e716678b67fd30a5876a552b9665e9f847d6d84b/apps/samples/url-handler/README.md
It allows you to register a handler for a URL (as long as you own it). Sadly no myprotocol:// but at least you can do http://myprotocol.mysite.com and can create a webpage there that points people to the app in the app store.
This is how I did it. Your app would need to install a few reg keys on installation, then in any browser you can just link to foo:\anythingHere.txt and it will open your app and pass it that value.
This is not my code, just something I found on the web when searching the same question. Just change all "foo" in the text below to the protocol name you want and change the path to your exe as well.
(put this in to a text file as save as foo.reg on your desktop, then double click it to install the keys)
-----Below this line goes into the .reg file (NOT including this line)------
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\foo]
#="URL:foo Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\foo\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\foo\shell\open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\foo\shell\open\command]
#="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Notepad++\\notepad++.exe\" \"%1\""
Not sure whether this is the right place for my answer, but as I found very few helpful threads and this was one of them, I am posting my solution here.
Problem: I wanted Linux Mint 19.2 Cinnamon to open Evolution when clicking on mailto links in Chromium. Gmail was registered as default handler in chrome://settings/handlers and I could not choose any other handler.
Solution:
Use the xdg-settings in the console
xdg-settings set default-url-scheme-handler mailto org.gnome.Evolution.desktop
Solution was found here https://alt.os.linux.ubuntu.narkive.com/U3Gy7inF/kubuntu-mailto-links-in-chrome-doesn-t-open-evolution and adapted for my case.
I've found the solution by Jun Hsieh and MuffinMan generally works when it comes to clicking links on pages in Chrome or pasting into the URL bar, but it doesn't seem to work in a specific case of passing the string on the command line.
For example, both of the following commands open a blank Chrome window which then does nothing.
"c:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" "foo://C:/test.txt"
"c:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --new-window "foo://C:/test.txt"
For comparison, feeding Chrome an http or https URL with either of these commands causes the web page to be opened.
This became apparent because one of our customers reported that clicking links for our product from a PDF being displayed within Adobe Reader fails to invoke our product when Chrome is the default browser. (It works fine with MSIE and Firefox as default, but not when either Chrome or Edge are default.)
I'm guessing that instead of just telling Windows to invoke the URL and letting Windows figure things out, the Adobe product is finding the default browser, which is Chrome in this case, and then passing the URL on the command line.
I'd be interested if anyone knows of Chrome security or other settings which might be relevant here so that Chrome will fully handle a protocol handler, even if it's provided via the command line. I've been looking but so far haven't found anything.
I've been testing this against Chrome 88.0.4324.182.
open
C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
open Preferences then search for excluded_schemes you will find it in 'protocol_handler' delete this excluded scheme(s) to reset chrome to open url with default application
I have a situtaion where i need the command prompt to open on the click of a button. for this i started of by usign jsp.
var wsh = new ActiveXObject('WScript.Shell');
command = "cmd /k D:\ & cd testTrial & trial.bat & echo DONE!"
wsh.Run(command);
The problem is that this wont run in firefox as ActiveXObject is a Microsoft propritory.
Is there a way i can check the browser and then run the above code keeping the current browser in mind.
This sounds like a security hole... I don't think you will be able to do that.
As I know for security reason other browsers does not allow to access local resources.
In firefox I have opened a locally stored file with the file:// protocol
(file:///c:/temp/foo.html)
foo.html contains Java Script which (among others) is supposed a new
window without URL:
var new_window = window.open("","", "height=100,left=50,width=200");
When this line is reached, Firefox displays this "Firefox prevented this site from opening a pop-up window". I don't understand why Firefox gives this warning, obviously, the file (foo.html) is under my control (since it's stored locally and I have opened it with the file:// protocol, and, additionally, the window to be opened doesn't point to any file that could contain any sensitive data, as the url parameter in the open method is set to "".
But besides all this, it seems I can't even force or allow firefox to open the window anyway. There's this "options" button on the yellow "Firefox prev...." bar which supposedly should allow to create exceptions, yet I can't.
So, the question basically boils down to: how can I allow a local html file to open an empty window with Javascript within Firefox.
Thanks / Rene
This is a Firefox security precaution, see this link:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_don't_work
However, it looks like this extension will allow you to override it:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/281
This is the popup blocker, which block popups not opened by an explicit user action like a click.
You cannot force it to open the popup, you need to allow Firefox to open it.
I suggest you to test the new_window variable to see if it is null. In this case, display a message to the user so that he allows the domain to open popup windows.
