Is there a video casting plugin for FF Desktop? Youtube for Roku used to pair device, but now only works with casting device like android phone

I'm not sure, but this question -
Firefox beta when /will the casting feature ( love it on mobile) be added to the desktop?
looks like it might work, but the patch link was for FF 33 and I'm on FF 36 running on mint 17, so I didn't install it. If the listed patch is what I need, or there is another way to do this, please let me know.
Basically, what I'm trying to do is use youtube on FF as a search engine for youtube on Roku. It worked fine until a couple of days ago (2/26/2015) when youtube on Roku upgraded so that the 'Pair device' option never comes up on the Roku. It works great with my android phone, but I would prefer to be able to use my laptop/desktop.
Thanks in advance. Jim PS - I'm upgrading my laptop from FF 35 to 36 as I write this, but my desktop is on 36 and has the same issue.

Hello everyone,
the last two days firefox 36 does not load or save (I cannot understand) my session. I can see that the sessionstore.js is not empty, the option from the preferences to show my windows and tabs from last time. And I tried to change the options from about:config regarding the sessionstore variables. Can someone help me figure out what is wrong with my browser. I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit
thanks, Haris

Firefox Hello : Stops working two days after using Refresh Firefox and need to Refresh Firefox again to get it working.

I have been experimenting with Firfeox Hello. I have Firefox 35.0.1 on Linux Mint 17.1 but Hello did not work properly. I used Refresh Firefox button on the web site and Hello then worked correctly and is great. Two days later it wasn't working again. I used Refresh Firefox and once more Hello worked fine. that was on Monday and it was working yesterday (Tuesday 24th) but this morning it wasn't working again until I once again used the Refresh Firefox button. But of coourse the conversations which I had set up and used disappeared in the Refresh along with my choice of home page, and other preferences.
I think Hello is a great tool. When it works it means that I no longer need to use Skype etc for most of my contacts. But the need to refresh every two days is a bit of a pain.

When I uncheck the option "allow pages to use their own colors..." in preferences, and view a PDF using the built-in viewer, all text in PDF documents appears to be printed twice with the default color (usually black) then printed again with my preferred color slightly shifted giving the appearance of all the text having shadows. I usually set my color preferences for pages to have a black background and a light gray text. This may be a bug.

I closed several ( 5-6) firefox windows when shutting down my computeer, and after re-staring firefox chose to 'restore previous session' (set by default but failed to so automatically this time). Saddly, in my about:config there was the default of opening only 3 windows, which means that all the others windows and tabs are now gone.
My question is: can I fin out in the history, or or in the some firefox log files, the address of the pages that were open in those windows/tabs. A list of all closed tabs and the time they were closed would suffice. The 'recentely closed tabs' options does not appear to contain that information, only the tabs that were closed in the current window.
Details: OS: Linux Ubuntu 14.04 Firefox 35.0.1
Cheers.

Java – Applet doesn’t work on Firefox when usign ForkJoinPool (while in Eclipse works)

when I run the following code on Eclipse (Luna, java vers=8), the code runs and pops-up the two errors messages. On the other hand, when I embed the code in a html page the code shows only the first error message. It seems that calling the ForkJoinPool class crushes the applet on firefox. Do you know why? Here is the code.
import java.awt.BorderLayout; import java.awt.Container; import java.awt.event.ActionEvent; import java.awt.event.ActionListener; import java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinPool;
import javax.swing.JApplet; import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JLabel; import javax.swing.JOptionPane; import javax.swing.JPanel; import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
public class ProvaVera extends JApplet {
public void start()
{
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
public void run()
{
MainPanel panel = new MainPanel();
// Add Swing components to content pane
Container c = getContentPane();
c.add(panel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
}
});
}
} class MainPanel extends JPanel {
public MainPanel()
{
JLabel label1 = new JLabel("label1");
this.add(label1);
JButton btn1 = new JButton("button1");
this.add(btn1);
btn1.addActionListener (
new ActionListener()
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
metodo();
}
}
); }
public void metodo()
{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(new JFrame(), "test1", "Dialog", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
ForkJoinPool pool = new ForkJoinPool();
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(new JFrame(), "test2", "Dialog", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
}
}
and here there is the index.html file that embeds the java applet
<applet <param="" code="ProvaVera.class" height="680" name="permissions" value="all-permissions" width="800">> </applet>
Thank you in advance
Why Firefox is strict for SSL3(poodle) vulnerability and does not allow user to ignore it? Compared to HTTP login form the firefox does not warn user.
It is seems the same for all browsers. But even vulnerable SSL3 is better than unencrypted communication.

A recent update changed the behavior when Firefox is first opened. Now, the cursor defaults to a Google search at the middle of the window. Before, it defaulted to the address bar in the same way as when a new tab is opened. When I open a web browser, I typically want to type a web address, not a search. How can I restore this previous behavior?

I look in about:config and find none of the page sizes Firefox makes available for printing; I don't find them in any of the Firefox configuration files either (though I may not have searched them perfectly). I guess Firefox depends on somebody else (GTK?) for printing. I'd like to change one of the standard sizes.

Hi!
There seem to be two kinds of Firefox update notifications -- the polite little box that appears in the upper right corner from time-to-time, and then the giant covers-what-you're-doing one that you need to click cancel on if you're in the middle of something and can't upgrade right that second (very annoying if you happen to be in the middle of working on something when it steals your mouse and keyboard focus!) I've noticed this for the last several Firefox versions and updates.
I think what I'm describing as "the polite little box" might be Firefox sending a message via libnotify, but I could be wrong.
The giant interrupts-what-you're-doing one has interrupted me at just the wrong moment and caused me lost work one too many times, and I have to turn it off (with one tool I regularly use, losing mouse focus in the middle of selecting an image region means you have to start over). However, I'd rather not lose update reminders all together, because I do appreciate knowing when there's a new release out that I should install. Is there some tweak in "about:config" that would let me turn off the big interrupts-what-you're-doing update notification, but keep the polite little one, or some other method to receive update notifications in a way that doesn't steal keyboard and mouse focus?
'unknown paper size custom size 1' whenever I invoke printing

Firefox returns many 'Gtk-WARNING **: Unknown paper size Custom Size 1' messages whenever I do anything that seems to make Firefox think I'm going to print; actually trying to print isn't necessary.
I have no printer; I use printing to capture a page as a PDF. Because Firefox cuts the pages in the middle of images I have a custom size, 200 lines long (the longest acrobat handles) to minimize (usually eliminate) page breaks. It works: I get pages that long. This warning message merely annoys me. Page length doesn't matter: I get the same complaint when I make Custom Size 1 8.5x11
I suspect that the real problem is some service Firefox calls doesn't recognize non-standard page sizes and that Firefox doesn't use that service for my purposes so it doesn't matter.

When I opened the device manager (preferences -> advanced -> certificates -> security devices) I was surprised to find the following entry under "Root Certs":
path /home/<user name>/.mozilla/firefox/<profile name>/libnssckbi.so
The corresponding file does not exist at this location (the correct location is /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nss/libnssckbi.so).
I'm wondering how this entry originated, and whether it should be deleted? It is dated Nov 2012. A fresh profile does not have any root certs in the device manager.
