Which of the browser is safe too?
Thanks

I used to use Firefox and the beloved plugin Firebug to work with web pages, since you can edit the HTML-code, and see the result on the page as you edit it.
The last version to support this and firebug was Firefox 49, and all newer Firefox, Chrome and Safari version doesn't have this. You can edit the code, but you have to click outside or CMD/CTRL-Enter to confirm the changes.
Why isn't this implemented in newer browsers, it doesn't seem that complicated, and it's so useful. I can't believe I can't find anyone else discussing this on the Internet.
Is there any browser version and/or plugin to Chrome that can do this?
Thanks!
As far as I know, no browser allows this and there isn't any extension for that, unfortunately.
Though there is a feature request for the Firefox DevTools asking to add live editing.
I am looking for a sample project that would compile a chrome and firefox extension that would run some JavaScript code after a page is loaded.
I already wrote a Chrome extension that does this, but I am looking for something cross-browser, that would allow me to build the same extension for Chrome and Firefox.
If this would also allow me to publish the extensions it would be great.

Here you can get firefox extension by submitting chrome extension.
With the Crossrider's framework you can build a cross-browser extension using only one code base that will work on Chrome, Firefox and also Internet Explorer and Safari.
So, with only using javascript single code base and the Crossrider API you can easily build your first cross-browser extension in no time.
(Disclosure: I work at Crossrider)
Are there any good websites for instructing how to write browser addon for IE, firefox, chrome and Safari?
Not sure whether writing there is some frameworks which can be used to write addon for all major browsers such that one sourcecode for all major browsers.
Thanks.
IE and Firefox have very different plug-in models. IE supports binary helper objects (your native code running in IE's processes). Here’s how you can build one: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2008/04/04/designing-for-add-on-performance.aspx,
here’s why you should spend as little of your users’ time as possible in your code: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2011/03/23/updates-to-add-on-performance-advisor.aspx
i am not sure..is there any chance to open my webpage in firefox. for example i am browsing mywebsite using IE. when ever i click link of the page then automatically it will open in firefox. this option is not for all pages only for specified page.
thanks.
If this were the case, ie6 would have gone out long ago. The best you can do here, would be to check which browser they are using (get_browser if you are using php) and refuse to show content to people using browsers other than firefox.
Instead you could redirect them to a page explaining why they need to be using firefox to access your websites services (I guess a link to the firefox download page would be nice too)
Sorry, it's not possible from plain HTML to open a webpage in a different browser. You can, at most, open the page in a new window of the same browser.
However, what you ask is not completely impossible. You could write a browser plugin that handles links and runs the Firefox executable
I would seriously hope this isn't possible.
What you ask for is not possible , but you could display a warning to your users that the page works best in the desired browser.
I am a web developer looking to build a browser extension. What is the best way to build browser extensions using web technologies (HTML, Javsacript, etc). We are targeting IE and Firefox only. Can IE browser toolbars be created using HTML/Javascript?
There is a bit of confusion here. Your question title says you are looking to develop a "Browser Toolbar", but in the question body itself you are asking about "Browser Extensions".
Its important to understand that in general Browser Toolbars are a subset of a Browser Extension. If you are indeed looking though to develop a Cross Browser Extension and not a toolbar I would really recommend the use of Crossrider - a development framework for cross-browser extensions.
They do not allow you develop toolbars, but they do have an online IDE and an extensive API to build cross-browser extensions for Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox and Safari with basic knowledge of JavaScript and jQuery.
Have a look at this article where they discuss using HTML and Javascript to build an extension for firefox.
