_FFAction("home") hard coded to Mozilla.org?

[Scorputer]

Hi,

I'm using AutoIT and FF.AU3 to set my homepage to multiple tabs, then launch Firefox to see how fast the pages load simultaneously. Setting the homepage works fine, using "|" between each URL. The problem comes in when I try to launch Firefox. Every time I invoke "_FFAction("home"), I'm taken to Mozilla.org. It doen't matter if I have my homepage set to a single or multiple URLs. If I stop the script and click the "Home" button, I get the expected result - the browser opening my homepage(s). Is this a bug in FF.AU3 or Firefox?

Here is the code that I use to launch Firefox.

_FFStart()

_FFAction("home")

;_FFOpenURL($homeurl)

$TabLoadTime = @extended&" ms"

_FFQuit()

Hmm the description on the Mozilla Developer Center seems to be a little bit incorrect - or I misunderstand this:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XUL/Method/goHome

I change this in the next version of the FF.au3.

But you can do instead of _FFaction("home") this: _FFCmd("BrowserHome()")

Thanks for the quick and informative reply! I implemented your suggestion. The code now works as expected - the browser opens up my tabs. However, the problem I have now is that I don't know how to get the load time for this operation. I'd appreciate any suggestions you may have.

Just add a _FFLoadWait() after it.
