Is this some kind of browser virus? - browser

I run localhost (xampp) in Opera browser, and if I try to watch the code there's unfriendly links everywhere. Is this some browser virus? And what does :root do? How can I get rid of that?
Here's a link example:
:root a[href^="http://adultgames.xxx/"]

I have noticed the same thing in Opera (and to some degree in Brave) on Fedora 30, but not in Firefox on Ubuntu 19.10. I suspect it is related to the way that the browsers block ads.
If you inspect the same page with another browser (e.g. Firefox or Chrome) you won't see that same code. Disabling the privacy protection within the browser--Opera's is the blue shield with the checkmark--should make that code that you highlighted go away. I'm not sure if the change is instantaneous or if you have to refresh the page in order to see the difference.
This is more of a comment than an answer (not enough reputation to comment), so this will probably get buried, ultimately.

What browser can update the webpage live as I edit HTML in the inspector?

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.

Embedded Signing with Safari on Mac not working as intended

I successfully (with much frustration) got our c# embedded signing to work on our site, however, that was before I tested with Safari on a Mac. Safari does not allow Third party sites to open in an iframe without already having a cookie for that site stored. If you either open the site beforehand or allowing all cookies, the document will show embedded. However, even messing around with that, the redirection after completion is not working. The please wait popup does not redirect back to my site. I am looking for any embedded solution that supports mac.
The process works great on windows, but does not work on Safari for Mac and is intermittent with Firefox and Chrome on mac.
I am looking for any non-iFrame embedded solutions that I could implement that should work on all platforms and browsers.
Since you have embedding working in terms of generating a URL token, it's up to you how to access that URL. We've seen developers write their own programs to view where they have complete control over the iFrame and can do whatever they like with it, and another solution we've seen is to use a web browser control.
see this SO link
The only workaround that I know of is to pop up a new browser window. I know there is work being done to make it work without cookies, but at this time the new browser window is your only choice.
Sorry about that.

Having problems to load images in Opera Browser(login popup)

I think this should be releated to IIS settings but don't know exactly what it is.
As you can see below, this login message pops up for each images, 8 images 8 times in Opera.
And the major browsers react to this page different.
IE9 works good(this is the reason why I found this problem now. It's internal site and almost every users use IE...)
Chrome(17.0.963.56 m) works good.
Safari(5.1.2) is also good.
Opera 11.61 has a problem like I said...
And FF SHOWS NO IMAGES and don't even ask for login. And Firebug says it's "NetworkError: 404 Not Found!".
I don't know what's going on.
This site requires to login and it's internal, so I can't give you the link. Sorry for the inconvenient.
And this site is running on Windows Server 2003. And the image containing folder is shared for web(I don't know why it's shared. But don't want to change the setting). I don't know this may cause this situation.
If Opera opens a user name/password dialog, the site is probably sending a WWW-Authenticate header in response to those image requests. You can open Opera's developer tools ("Tools > Advanced > Opera Dragonfly" or right-click in page and select "Inspect element") and use the network feature to inspect the full headers.
I don't know how you can disable this header if it is sent, it depends on the server settings and what type of server you're running, and I'm not at all familiar with Windows Server 2003.

open webpage in firefox

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.

How To Tell What Files IE Thinks Are "nonsecure"?

We have a CMS system whose web interface gets served over HTTPS. This works beautifully for Firefox, but when we load it in IE6 or IE7, it complains that "This page contains both secure and nonsecure items."
I've loaded the page in Firefox and checked with Firebug, and every connection seems to be going through HTTPS, as should be the case.
Is there any way to tell what is causing IE to throw this apparently spurious error?
Firefox has a number of bugs in mixed content detection. Generally you should try using Fiddler to spot insecure resources.
If you install a tool I wrote (www.bayden.com/dl/scriptfreesetup.exe) you will get a different mixed content prompt which shows the exact URL of the first insecure resource on the page. That tool is basically a prototype and you should uninstall it when you're done with it.
Use Fiddler to watch the traffic between the server and IE.
Be sure to go to Tools > Fiddler Options... > HTTPS > and check 'Decrypt HTTPS traffic'
Any non-HTTPS traffic generated between any server and IE should be easy to spot in the Web Sessions list.
I used Eric's tool (thanks Eric you saved me hours...) and it turns out that IE6 treats a background image specified with a relative path as nonsecure content. Even though it actually requests it over https. So if you're stumped - converting your relative paths to absolute ones might really help...
Are one or more resources (CSS url-image ref overlooked easily) pointing to a subdomain that's not covered by the certificate (https://www.example.com vs https://static.example.com)?
If you can't see anything that isn't using SSL, then this is usually down to a broken SSL certificate somewhere. I don't know of anything off-hand that will tell you what exactly what the problem is, but you can get a list of everything that's loaded easily enough.
The media tab on Firefox's 'page info' dialog (right click on the page) will do it, it might also be worth having a go with Fiddler (which is an excellent, and extremely useful piece of software).
