Load Firefox bookmarklet as normal URL - javascript

I've just created a simple bookmarklet to load a URL containing a generated string. Is it possible to make this bookmarklet work like a normal bookmark:
When left-clicking opens in the current tab.
When middle-clicking opens in a new tab.
After putting in a folder, when selecting Open All in Tabs opens in a new tab.
The first works, but the second does the same as the first, and the third results in just javascript:... in the location bar.
Edit: Could be related to this bug report reported nine years ago. Is there some way to work around it?

You should try putting your JavaScript code in a separate page saved on your computer somewhere, then bookmark that instead.

How to change Chrome extensions internal HTML page

I've done some looking around and couldn't find any solution to this problem.
I'm creating a Chrome extension, with a manifest that points to the opening file home-times.html. This works, though I want to redirect it internally to the other page home-welcome.html inside the extension so it loads another page INSIDE the extension.
I've read a lot of questions that refer to changing the current tab's page, though that's not what I am after.
Tests
By using the following code:
test
Opens a new tab, with the extensions page that I am trying to access in that new tab.
If I got you right, you want to change your popup innerHTML, in this case I suggest using jQuery, to change original file to the result you want.
If you just want to open new tab, with your home-welcome.html, you can do this, in your popup.js :
window.open('home-welcome.html','_blank')
If none of this is what you are looking for, can you please provide an example, I will try to help.

Executing code to an other window through window.open()

I making this bot in JavaScript in the chrome console. And one of the lines in my script is window.open('thewebsite','_self') so it opens a different website in the same window. However I cant seem to execute code on that new website that I opened with window.open(). For example I want to do document.getElementById().click() however its not clicking on the new website I made.
For example:
If I was on google.com the script would open googleimages. But I want the next line of code for example typing in the search bar to happen on google images.
window.open refreshes console, so you can't execute any code after.
You could try to get target url content and replace first page content, but you'll be blocked with Access-Control-Allow-Origin
What you're trying to achieve is indeed a macro. You should take a look at iMacros and see how they chain instructions from page to page.

Opening a link in a different browser

I'm trying to find a way to take a link from one browser and open it in another browser. This could be taking a link from a Firefox tab and opening it in Chrome, or taking a link in a Chrome Incognito window and opening it in a non-incognito Chrome window.
Here's some more detail. I have a webpage that refreshes every second, and uses javascript(via Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey) to search for certain keywords. When a keyword in my list matches one associated with a link on the page, it automatically opens that link in a new tab. If it's possible, I need to take those links to a different browser somehow, automatically.
AFAIK, something like this isn't possible with javascript due to security issues. The only two solutions I can think of are:
1: Using AutoHotKey to make a macro to copy the link, alt-tab, and paste into the other program. This is manual, I want something automatic. EDIT: I realized I can use AHK to monitor a page, but I don't know if it could be done without introducing more latency than I would like. Keeping the total time from the webpage refreshing to opening the link as low as possible is the most important thing.
2: Having some other program handle it for me. I'm not aware of any and wonder how difficult/costly it would be to roll my own or have someone make one. I'm not even sure if I could interface it with my current script.
I'm fairly certain it would be possible with number 2, although I don't know about cost or difficulty... could there be another way to accomplish this?
For reference, this is the relevant section of code that I'm currently working with. It opens any link which matches a list of keywords in a new tab. These are the links I'm trying to figure out a way to open in a different browser. It uses dynamic object names and a dynamic URL, but essentially this is just saying if the checkboxes are checked and a link matches my autoOpenList(keyword list), then open the link in a new tab.
if(jQuery.inArray(autoOpenTemp,autoOpenList) != -1 && window['autoAccept' + autoOpenTemp].checked && autoAccept_input.checked ){
var tempURL = LINK_BASE+obj.acc_link;
window.open(tempURL, '_blank');
}

Bookmarklet on blank page

I've written a simple bookmarklet that opens multiple web pages with a single click:
javascript:(function(){window.open("http://www.w3schools.com");window.open("http://www.google.com");window.open("http://www.yahoo.com");})();
I wan't to be able to open the browser and click this immediately, but the bookmarklet won't work unless a page is already loaded in the window. I prefer to have my browser home page set to "Blank" for speed. Is there a way to make this bookmarklet execute without a page already loaded?
Also, I'd like the bookmarklet to replace whatever page is loaded in the window, if something is indeed loaded. At present, it opens 3 new tabs. I've tried the "_self" and "_parent" values for the "name" attribute on the first window.open, but it doesn't seem to work. I may not be formatting it correctly.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
It isn't possible to open bookmarklet in no page.
Instead, you can try to set your homepage to something like data:text/html,Welcome! (yes, it IS a working URL).
To open a page in the same tab, type:
location.href='http://www.w3schools.com'
I was having the same problem, and learned from the internet that if you go to your about:config, search for browser.newtab.url and change it to about:blank instead of the default about:newtab your javascript bookmarklets should work (just tried, and it's working!). This should be cleaner than doing a data:text/html message (in any case even if you set the homepage it doesn't work for every new tab, only once for a new window)

Bookmarklet to open an empty tab/window with some javascript in it?

I know there are a lot of discussions about opening http pages in new windows and tabs,
but that's not what i'm looking for.
How do I open an empty new tab and run some arbitrary js in it?
That is when someone clicks my bookmarklet, a new tab should appear and code such as "document.write(foo)" should run in it with foo coming from the js on the tab where bookmarklet was clicked on.
This bookmarklet is the translation of your question:
javascript:void(function(foo){
var d=window.open("");
d.document.open();
d.document.write(foo);
d.document.close();
})("Foo")
