Search Firefox Tabs across multiple open windows

[lbw87]

Anyone know if it's possible to search open tabs of all open firefox windows?

I might be wrong but it seems that _FFTabExists only looks for an open tab in the window that is activated or the last activated. I can't seem to make my code search the windows open in the background, it only searches the last selected window.

If I have two windows open with 3 tabs in each, and activate the window that doesn't contain the tab you want to "_FFTabSetSelected" and try "_FFTabExists" it'll only consider the foreground window.

Anyone have any ideas?

Code attached is a real real dumbed down version of what I was trying to do. I was using other methods to try and search active windows and everything else but figured I'd ask first before I continue going down that road...

#include <FF.au3>
#include <FF_AutoLogin.au3>



if _FFConnect() then

Sleep(3000)

$windowsselect = _FFWindowSelect("Gmail: Email from Google","label")
$exists = _FFTabExists("Gmail: Email from Google")
$setselected = _FFTabSetSelected("Gmail: Email from Google","label")
If _FFConnect () Then
      _FF_AutoLogin("USER","PASS", "www.gmail.com")
    EndIf

EndIf

Afaik, all of the _FF functions are sent to the currently selected window (the one you select via _FFWindowSelect). So to search all tabs in all windows, you'd likely need a nested loop.

yeah i figured that'd be what i'd have to do

but even if i took the windowselect out and didn't select any FF windows at all...FFexists only searches in the last selected window?

yea it defaults to something if you haven't done a SelectWindow(). It's probably the active window... could be the first or most recent instance of Firefox you started.
