What I wonder the most about is why they don't try to bring a command line interface to firefox, kind of like how you can call safari and its content from applescript.
I think firefox can already be used with keyboard shortcuts only and they have a hard time getting their browser to be half as fast.
What configurability is concerned, I think that mozillas choice of saving all the user configs etc in a sqlite database is easy enough to access by script.
Still interesting and probably good fun to fool around with!

- 3ds 17y agoyes that is really cool too but no, i meant an actual shell interface to communicate with the browser
- mordero 17y agoSomething like this: http://wiki.github.com/bard/mozrepl http://wiki.github.com/bard/mozrepl ?
- s2r2 17y agoor like this: http://surfraw.alioth.debian.org/ http://surfraw.alioth.debian.org/ (works fine with "minimalist" browsers)
- 3ds 17y agoYes! That is the most amazing thing I hadn't known I wanted to have :D It takes greasemonkey and jetpack to a whole nother level. Awesome awesome awesome! If I didn't have a very important test tomorrow I know I'd spend hours messing with firefox till nothing was left.
