Browser is not reloading images that are in css (background swap on mouseover or other events) - browser

Sometimes browsers are not reloading images. Especially images that are in css.
Why is this happening?

Sometimes, when we creating website - we change images many times. Sometimes images are cached and they are not refreshing.
The best example are images, that browser loads on "mouseover" or "click" events (menu backgrounds for example) are really frustrating, because there is no way to refresh them with F5 or Ctrl+F5, because they are not displayed. They can ruin your day :D

An extension to enable or disable images in chrome

I can change the chrome setting by going to Privacy and security - site settings - Content section - disable Images
Is there a chrome extension that will do exactly that? I have tried 2 extensions, but both of them remove images "after" they have loaded. That does not make browsing any faster. I will like to click a button to enable / disable the setting mentioned above.
A simple Chrome extension that lets you disable/enable images on "per host" level.Click once and you'll disable images for the current site. Click again and images will be re-enabled.

There are some options available, but basically, the extension does just that (and nothing more)

This site can’t be reached ERR_CONNECTION_ABORTED on all websites hosted in IIS

These websites were working before and suddenly after a restart of my AWS Workspaces these websites are returning below error on all browsers. I have re-installed IIS and also deleted the files from C:\inetpub\history. When i run the same website from Visual Studio it works but the url would be like http://localhost:29740.

ERR_CONNECTION_ABORTED
Are you using chrome browser? there are many reasons for this error, such as the website or service you are trying to access does not support the SSLv3 protocol (Secure Socket Layer Version 3 Protocol), some third-party program like your antivirus or an extension install on to your browser might be interrupting your connection to the website.
Before trying any fixes, try to access the same website from a different browser and preferably a different connection. Try to access the website from the browser in Incognito mode may help too. But if you still encounter this error, here is what you can do to fix it.
Disable SSLv3 in Google Chrome:
First, add a Chrome shortcut to the desktop, then right-click the Chrome desktop shortcut, select Properties, and click the Shortcut tab as below.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe” –ssl-version-min=tls1
Disable Antivirus and Firewall
In the System tray on the right corner of your taskbar, right-click on the icon of your Antivirus and then click on the option that refers to disabling your antivirus protection temporarily.If prompted, set the duration of antivirus to be disabled as per your choice.You may temporarily disable Windows Defender in you use iton Windows 10.
Now, you can check if your issue is resolved or not. Additionally, you can disable your Windows Firewall protection too. This is due to the fact that the Windows Firewall monitors and authorizes or denies and inward or outward connection from your computer.
Now, you can check again if your issue is resolved or not.

Now, scroll down to the Restore Settings to their original defaults button and click on it.Click on Reset, and this will reset your Google Chrome browser.Now check if you issue is fixed or not.
Reinstall Google Chrome
If all the methods that are mentioned above do not work properly, the last and the ultimate fix would be reinstalling Google Chrome.

What is the keyboard shortcut to capture screenshots using Capture for Jira?

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CAPTURE/Taking+screenshots says
"Keyboard shortcut
Capture for JIRA allows you to configure a keyboard shortcut to take a screenshot at any time. This allows you to capture bugs that might only occur during mouse interaction.
The configuration can be set in the server settings overlay in the browser extension's sidebar."
I cannot figure this out.
It's a setting in the browser extension, not in the JIRA add-on.
In your JIRA, in the "Capture" menu at the top, there's a link to install the browser extension. Make sure you've installed the extension first.
Then, when you open the extension, you can click the settings icon at the bottom. That will display the settings panel where you can configure your shortcut keys:

Stop Browser at any spot

I have checked many questions and answers regarding how to stop any browser at any time, but I have not found a solution to my problem.
I have a logout button in my application, and when I press it, it adds some classes to an <a> tag. Is there any key/shortcut to stop the Mozilla/Chrome (any browser) to perform the actions or stay the same page?
What I believe you're looking for is a debugger with breakpoints. Breakpoints allow you to mark certain sections of your code as points where you want the execution of that code to temporarily pause its state until a point in which you are ready to proceed to the next breakpoint.
Modern browsers, such as Google Chrome (or any other WebKit browser like Safari) or Mozilla Firefox with the Firebug Firefox extension have this capability.
Chrome (WebKit Browsers):
You can set breakpoints in your JavaScript in the "Scripts" tab of Chrome (and most WebKit browsers):
From Chrome Developer Tools: Script Breakpoints:
Open the Developer Tools by hitting the Control-Shift-I shortcut
Open Scripts panel and select "script.js" from scripts drop-down
Set breakpoint on line 19 by clicking the line gutter (you can use the Control-G shortcut to reveal a line in a large file)
Move your mouse over this page
You should stop on the breakpoint
Hover over the source code to inspect local and global variables, function arguments etc.
Delete the breakpoint by clicking the blue tag breakpoint indicator
Click the Continue button or hit F8 in Developer Tools window to resume
Firefox with Firebug:
There are countless demonstrations of Firebug Breakpoints and other debugger functionality located on this page.
The functionality is very similar to that of the Developer Tools in WebKit browsers.
Internet Explorer:
Internet Explorer also has built in Developer Tools, which among many other features gives users the ability to set breakpoints and stop execution of the scripts. While the Chrome Debugger is sufficient in many cases, there are certain bugs and cross-browser issues that tend to affect Internet Explorer more so than other browsers.
Thus, the Setting Breakpoints section of the "Debugging Script with the Developer Tools" page will be most helpful when attempting to resolve issues that only affect Internet Explorer.
