Clear Firefox Download History

August 3rd, 2009 shyam No comments

I like to have Firefox automatically clear my download history whenever a download finishes. It seems the location for this changed slightly in FF 3.0.

  1. Go to: Tools -> Options
  2. Click on the Privacy Tab
  3. From the pull-down menu (“Firefox will:”), selected: Use custom settings for history
  4. Uncheck: Remember Download History

Permission denied to get property Element.childNodes

September 18th, 2008 shyam No comments

I was recently doing a small JavaScript/XML project. Everything was working fine locally, but when I tried to test it out on my server, I got a “Permission denied to get property Element.childNodes” error in Firefox. Internet Explorer had no problems.

Turns out I had the Firebug add-on installed in Firefox. I had to disable this, and everything worked.

You will also have a problem on the w3schools site, if you try to use their “Tryit Editor” to view any code. You will need to disable the add-on in order to get the output of the right-side box to display correctly.
