I am trying to understand how to change my time and/or timezone manually by using inspect. Could someone give me an explanation on how to do it, and the meaning of 'Timezone override is already in effect'?
Much appreciated!

I'm attempting to learn web development, and I'm taking an online course from udemy. I am still in the html coding stage and I don't get the correct attributes auto suggested when I type in "form" (without the quotes). I get this:
When the instructor does it, this is the result:
I'm certain I used to get the result the instructor got, but I don't now. I rolled back to version 1.33 of VS Code but that didn't help.
Any suggestions? I appreciate any and all help you can provide but please don't assume I can navigate to whatever setting needs to be changed Please provide the full path to allow me to get there! Thanks again.
So I just downloaded and installed Atom. When you type form and hit tab you get three attributes: class, action and method. I wonder why the defaults are different between the two editors. I prefer VS Code just for the visual appearance of it, and it seems to be the one everyone uses, but why the difference and is there a way to make them the same?
Is there anyway that I can manipulate HTML in a Facebook post? Is it possible to edit the code in anyway without having to install a third-party app?
Sure, depending on which browser you are using, there are different ways. Just search for dev tools [your browser] and you will find a way. Guess it's mostly F12.
Of course that's just locally, you won't be able to change the data on the server, if you're not allowed to.
Right Click > Investigate or F12 on the Element you want to edit and on your right there should open the code you can freely edit it to your liking
Also when posting on SO please provide more than just saying i want to do that.. How to do it? Tell us what you have tried or where you have researched before asking the Question
Hey I'm making a chrome extension in HTML and I want the extensions to do automatic tasks like buying an item automatically for example, kind of like a sniper. But I don't know if it is possible and if it is I don't know how. So it would be nice if someone could explain to me or link a website that explains it well cause I didn't find any. Thank you
This is the first time I am trying to contribute to Mozilla. I went through several articles and documentation/resources to get a hang of what could be the best first steps to get started. I started off from this page http://whatcanidoformozilla.org1 and chose to start off with Java.
On initial tinkering I was taken to https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Get_Involved and eventually https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Fennec/Android/Suggested_workflow resource suggested that the best way to get started with it would be to pick up some simple bug and propose a patch for it.
So then I went to http://www.joshmatthews.net/bugsahoy/?java=1&simple=1 and this specific bug drew my attention. The description of the bug mentioned this :
There are some methods that we share (or can share) across our DB
implementations, like appending PARAM_SHOW_DELETED, PARAM_LIMIT, or
PARAM_PROFILE.
These are currently spread across LocalBrowserDB, TabsAccessor,
URLMetadata, and so on. It'd be nice to clean these up.
Question 1. Now how do I get some more context on what exactly is the bug and what is required to be done ?
As of now there seems to be 2 patches already submitted from what I understood (and please correct if my understanding is wrong here). So to get some context about the bug I went ahead and opened up the first patch submitted here.
It gave me some idea as to at least where exactly is the code itself that needs to be fixed. And I found it here
Question 2. Am I on the right track on how to figure out the code that needs to be fixed ?
Question 3. Even after reaching the DBUtils.java file I could not find any documentation about what the class basically does, or where does it fit into the whole picture. Could someone please help me with this, as to how do I figure out what a class is supposed to be doing etc. or at least some documentation around it?
You're on the right path. Basically, the What Can I Do For Mozilla website is a quick and easy way to let you discover projects you might be interested in, so it's the first gateway to the coding contributions.
That said, you did good in picking a bug to start off. However, as you saw the bug was already being worked on by somebody else (marked as Assigned). Your best bet is to find some new "good first bug" to work on. This might be a complicated task, as Bug's Ahoy shows only a few not owned good first bugs.
You should try to get in touch with the Fennec team, either via email or IRC (the latter for quicker responses).
Now, to answer your questions, in a more general way
Question 1. Now how do I get some more context on what exactly is the
bug and what is required to be done ?
Usually, this should be described in the first comment in the bug, on Bugzilla. If that's not the case, feel free to drop a message there and ask for more directions. You can also flag the reporter or the mentor of the bug using the needinfo functionality, as they are usually better shown.
As you can see, somebody asked for more info in comment 1 and some new directions were given.
In general, you won't find a patch with code on the bug itself, but you might find links to files and more precise directions on what to change and how. If not, again, feel free to ping the reporter and/or mentor.
Question 2. Am I on the right track on how to figure out the code that
needs to be fixed ?
You're on the right path. In general, if there are no links to files or DXR on the bug, but some code is mentioned, you can look it up using DXR, as you did.
Question 3. Even after reaching the DBUtils.java file I could not find
any documentation about what the class basically does, or where does
it fit into the whole picture. Could someone please help me with this,
as to how do I figure out what a class is supposed to be doing etc. or
at least some documentation around it?
What I usually do when navigating the Firefox code and need some more background on a not so well documented class, is browse the change log for that file, clicking on the Log button in the top-right panel on DXR (when displaying the file). It will show you a list of bugs that affected the file. You can even trace back the original file that implemented it, to get more context.
On the other hand, if you're only interested to the history of a single line of code within a file, then the blame tool is your friend. It tells you who last touched the line, the changeset and the related bug number. That is also accessible from where you can find the Log, here.
In the case of DBUtils.java, however, it looks like the class just holds some utility functions for database access.
To see how something is being used within the Firefox codebase, you can still use DXR. Here's a sample search for the DBUtils object.
I am integrating Google Maps with jQuery Mobile and .NET. I am following the Google Code (example 4) documentation here: http://jquery-ui-map.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/demos/jquery-mobile-example.html#jquery-mobile-example-4.html
I've been careful in transferring the code, but I keep receiving a blank frame. The map doesn't show up in the frame.
Anyone else run into this problem? Any recommendations on additional documentation, tutorials, videos, and reading?
I greatly appreciate anyone's time and help, thank you.
I think your problem is outlined here : http://www.smashinglabs.pl/gmap/examples
If, for any reason, any dimension of div will be equal 0 during
loading process, maps will stop working correctly. It is quite common
issue while loading tabs, accordions, etc.
He goes on to outline specific problem resolutions. Some of them:
Try calling the 'refresh' function manually google.maps.event.trigger($('#map').data('gmap').gmap, 'resize');
If your #map container doesn't have a set size, it will default to 0x0 by normal HTML/CSS standards. Try setting a size manually, say 300x300
etc...
It might be the google loader api key? (If you copy paste). Get any JS errors?
As Phill said, post some code and we'll be able to help you better.
If you are using jquery.ui.maps thats the wrong syntax. From what i can tell you are using another plugin.
Thank you for your time and help. After more research and additional help from others, I was able to find a Google Maps solution to get me moving more quickly. A great conversation that outlines resources I studied, used, and highlighted can be found in this google groups discussion.
