dompdf, firefox hangs on PDF generation - pdf

I have a dompdf installation that generates PDF datasheets. This is web server hosted, not local. The system works with Safari and Chrome on Mac and Internet Explorer on PC. However, the PDF generation hangs when using Firefox on Mac. I am assuming this is a Firefox issue as testing the live version online and also using a local installation using MAMP Pro produces the same problem.
Any feedback would be gratefully received.

Visual studio code auto refresh browser with apache

Is there a way to set up (extension, etc...) Visual studio code to auto-refresh browser (Firefox Dev, Chrome Dev) as soon as the file I am working on is saved? (Like Live Server extension)
I am working with local installation of Apache (Yes, I am working on WordPress :)
Using this tutorial from youtube you will install the Live Server VSCode extension for use with html files. However, you will most likely (although you haven't mentioned) be using PHP or other languages because apache supports it. For this, use this tutorial from GitHub. It installs a browser extension (compatible with chrome/chromium-based/firefox browsers) that connects to a server instance and serves the reload function to that webserver. This does NOT install a web server (in this case it shouldn't matter). If you follow the tutorial, it should be really self-explanatory.

Firefox not displaying PDF in primefaces p:media component on a remote server

I have a JSF application that uses Primefaces 7.0. Some of its pages use the p:media component to display the content of PDF files. When installed on a remote linux server, the application does not show the content of the PDF if used with Firefox 67.0. It works fine with Chrome and IE. And it works perfectly on my Windows 10 PC, even with Firefox. To make it even wierder, inspecting the element makes it visible in my laptop, but not in my desktop computer. Has anyone else a similar problem? Please advice.
EDIT 11/11/2019: Today I learned that the problem occurs when using https instead of http. Therefore, it doesn't really matter that the server is remote; what happens is that on our remote (and public) server we use https

check point ssl network extender installation mac os safari

SSL Network Extender fails to launch.
launching SSL Network Extender fails with "failed to download" on safari.
I think there is a solution but they do not share it public.
Does anyone have a solution for this?

Thanks
EDIT: From the Safari 12 release notes:
Legacy NPAPI Plug-ins
Removed support for running legacy NPAPI plug-ins other than Adobe Flash.
This means that plugins such as Java and Silverlight will no longer work in Safari 12. This answer still works for Safari 11 and earlier. For a solution that works on newer versions, see this workaround (which uses an old version of Firefox).
Simply hold down "alt/option" and click on the Java trust settings for the relevant website, deselect "Run in Safe Mode", and click "Trust" in the dialog that pops up:

Getting windows only images from the IE Dev Tools site

I think this may be website bug but when I choose VirtualBox and Mac on this page: https://dev.windows.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/mac/ for anything higher than IE9 I get images for virtualbox Windows only.
You can safely ignore the filename. The content is exactly the same and the filename will change in a future update (hopefully sometime in January).

Cannot view video from publisher using Chrome to iPad with OpenTok

I'm currently trying to set up a connection between my web client and my iOS app, but for some reason my iOS client only sees a black box when using Chrome (version 33). I can see the video just fine if I use Firefox (both in my app and when I put the browsers side-by-side, they can see each other).
This doesn't appear to be a documented known issue with the JavaScript SDK, and I can't see any recent discussion about this on the forums (last post was mine).
The iOS sample can be located here (samples/OpenTokHelloWorld) with the browser page in samples/OpenTokHelloWorld/browser_demo.html
I suggest cd'ing into samples/OpenTokHelloWorld and running python -m SimpleHTTPServer, as it can't be run from a file:/// path.
Here is what my iPad sees:
Chrome:
Firefox:
And Chrome/Firefox (respectively), both publishing video from the same camera
Edit: after testing on other machines, it may be something specific to my environment even though none of my extensions run in Incognito and I don't have any custom plugins installed.
It looks like the OpenTok mobile SDKs with the specific webcam I was using has issues. On Android the video stream will display for a brief moment then segfault, and on iOS there will be no video at all.
I have tested this many times and could not reproduce what you are seeing in your chrome.
Without seeing any console errors or iOS logs the best suggestion is to try clearing your cache, or maybe restarting your computer (longshot)
