Use policies.json file to force Firefox to respect your preferences.

Screencasting (demo screen, screensharing) already works in Google Chrome. The technology allows capturing a window of the browser itself as well as windows of other applicaitons. For example, you can capture Firefox running in a separate window.

This is sounds like a very tough job as none of the existing browsers fully support HTML5. There are ones doing better at supporting a subset of HTML5 than others. There is a check on this page (HTML5 Test[^]) that gives you an idea what checks to integrate, but this page doesn't claim...

You want to cache 1,000,000 records on the client-side? One word: Don't. It sounds like you seriously need to re-think your design. The browser should be getting pages of data, only what the browser needs to show. Caching a million records when the client, typically, only needs to see or use a...

Wrong idea. The tabs belong to the client's browser, not to your site or Web application. And the tab is no different from a browser window, from the server-side perspective. The login should work regardless of the tab or window. By the way, if such discrimination was possible, it could kill you...

Numbers in JavaScript cannot be arbitrarily large or precise - numbers are 64-bit values (based on the IEEE 754 standard) and you've hit the limit with your number. You'll have to use an external library such as bignumber.js[^] for arbitrary precision.
