Hi,

I'm writing a script to switch on/off proxy connections setting within Firefox. At work, i must enabled it to browse websites and at home i need to have it disabled. The Advanced option under Firefox Options does not accept CTRL+TAB based switching and also the window position isn't static. Is there anyway to get to Connection Settings (Firefox->Tools->Options->Advanced->Network->Settings) window using AutoIt functions? FYI, I'm running Firefox v3.5.5 on Windows 7. Appreciate your help.

Thanks and Regards,

Vasu

Thanks for the quick response. This is exactly what i was looking for. I downloaded the FF.au3 script from http://thorsten-willert.de/Themen/FFau3/FF.au3/FF.au3 and included it in my script, but somehow the connection to firefox is never established. I run the below simple example script and i always get message "Can't connect to firefox".

#Include <FF.au3>

_FFStart("about:blank")

; trying to connect to a running FireFox with MozRepl on
If _FFConnect(Default, Default, 3000) Then
    ; open a page
    _FFOpenURL("http://ff-au3-example.thorsten-willert.de/")
    Sleep(3000)
    ; disconnect from FireFox
    If _FFDisConnect() Then MsgBox(64, "", "Disconnected from FireFox!")
Else
    MsgBox(64, "", "Can't connect to FireFox!")
EndIf

I tested after disabling my firewall and changing from "Default localhost" to my actual physical IP but still the same response.

I even disabled all Firefox add-ons and still no use. Below is the log report:

What else i am missing?

I just realized that i need mozrepl add-on to be available before i can use it with FF.AU3 script. I can't seem to find it for my version of firefox (v3.5.5)? I already checked http://wiki.github.com/bard/mozrepl and it isn't compatiable with 3.5.5 version of firefox.

Any ideas from where i can get it?

Thanks and Regards,

Are you sure that it is incompatible? http://repo.hyperstruct.net/mozrepl/1.0/mozrepl.xpi

MozRepl works with FF V3.5.*

Here it works with FireFox V3.5.5, too.

No, HttpSetProxy function didn't help. Not sure if this is the optimum way, but I'm now doing it in following way right now:

$proxy_addr = "www.proxy-server.com:8080"
RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings", "ProxyEnable", "REG_DWORD", $flag )
RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings", "ProxyServer", "REG_SZ", $proxy_addr)

Thanks and Regards,

I can't see any error message. There's only the communication-protocol between the FF.au3 and MozRepl/FireFox.
