Firefox 29: Can any page open my browser menus? - security

I installed firefox 29. The curious thing I noticed is that the updated browser's page https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/29.0/whatsnew/?oldversion=28.0 was able to open menus in my browser.
How can a website open menus in my browser? Is it domain restricted only to firefox or can I use this feature? If any one can do this, wont it be a security issue?

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.

Is there an Application panel in Firefox DevTools like in Chrome DevTools?

The developer tools in Google Chrome have an Application panel.
This tool contains the page's manifest etc. But I can't find this tool in Firefox. Is there such a panel in the Firefox DevTools?
For anyone looking for answer in September 2019:
Firefox is working on an Application Panel, similar to one in Chrome. The progress can be tracked at Bugzilla.
Firefox devtools Application panel showing Manifest details
It is disabled by default (as of September 11, 2019) and can be enabled via devtools.application.enabled flag on about:config page.
For the manifest part, no, there isn't, because Firefox doesn't implement Web Manifest yet.
But the Firefox DevTools support the other parts of Chrome's Application panel, they are just placed somewhere else.
The storages (cache, cookies, Indexed DB, Local Storage, and Session Storage) can be inspected in the Storage panel.
Service Workers can be inspected on about:serviceworkers.

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.
