Is it possible to manipulate a loaded page of an open tab of Firefox, through a script that does this through a Firefox addon/extension? My goal is to fill out a form on a page, and then click submit.
Note: This cannot be done through readily available, 'user friendly' alternatives (for example Selenium), and can only be done with addon code, as the Firefox addon continuously calls a .dll file, waiting for an 'all clear, go ahead' from another program, that communicates with the .dll file. Also, solutions such as Selenium, take up too much processing time (even when we are dealing with seconds), which do not suit my case (i have already attempted using Selenium; it completes the task too slowly, and the .dll workaround is 'awkward').
So the question is, is possible to achieve something like this, and what will be required to do so, could you also please provide an example if possible. Thanks

I'm rendering one PDF in my website using the Canvas so that the user can view but not download. I have disabled the right click and the disable the download button and disable the printout too on any of the browsers. However there are still ways to get into the F12 mode and get the PDF downloaded. IF any one can help to achieve my logic to disable the developer mode on that particular webpage.
Thanks in advance.
Even if you could, it won't matter.
The pdf document data, unless generated by your client, has been downloaded, which means even if a website had control over a client's dev tools (which it does not), the client could just intercept all the packages containing your file going to his machine.

I am trying to get a list of singles released in 2018 from allmusic.com.
It is easy enough to go to their advanced search page and input those parameters, but then I would have to copy and paste the information by hand. All the information is in the html, but it has be generated by clicking the search button and the page navigation buttons. The url itself doesn't change. That puts it well out of my ability to crawl via my limited beautiful soup skills.
Does anyone know how to web crawl java script generated html?
Without looking into the details of the particular website, I imagine you would need to find out what HTTP requests the JS code is making and work backwards from there.
Start by inspecting the network calls (e.g. in Chrome DevTools, just look in the Network tab) and then write something to make those same calls to retrieve the data.

I've inherited a c# .net 3.5 project which I am task with converting to .net core. This is pretty much done.
However, in this project there are A LOT!!! of third party javascript libraries and I am certain there are many of them that are not being used or not needed.
Is there a way to scan the whole project to see if any of the libraries are not used?
I know this is unlikely but thought I'd ask.
Thank you
Using Chrome (but still valid with other browsers with little changes)
press F12 and click on "sources tab"
Then you can display all Resources used from your web page, images, css, scripts...
Or you can use a third party tool like this

but personally i prefrerr to do it manually not using an automatic tool.

Here is my goal:
Create some JavaScript action (some function call) that will be timed perfectly between two different clients.
Explanation:
I want a function to be called exactly on the same millisecond on two different browsers/computers no matter when the client accessed the web page.
I thought about creating a time base using the server time but im not sure this will work.
I think you should be using something Node.JS or APE (Ajax Push Engine) to achieve this.
so you want to do like this scenario: user come visit your webpage and he has to wait few seconds that page is shown?
This is useless to do in my opinion, unless you want to flood server with tons of requests..

Imagine a website - for example YouTube. In every video I'd like to insert a link next to the title that will point to my website, and if I click it, it grabs the url and sends it to my site's database.
I've seen somewhere such a possibility (I don't remember where), consisted of the fact that you dragged a *.js file onto your browser window and it worked locally just for you in the browser like an extension to existing site or sth.
Can you point me to articles or other resources if this is possible?
You have a couple options:
You can use a browser extension such as Greasemonkey for Firefox, or Tampermonkey for Chrome.
