Look at the settings under the Tools > MozRepl menu.

[water]

Which version of MozRepl do you run?

[232showtime]

 its working now thanks, but do i need to start mozrep everytime I open FF???

[water]

No. I activated it once and it is running just fine now.

[careca]

You can always go to

about:config

and check for:

extensions.mozrepl.autoStart = true

I see there are a lot of troubles with FF.au3 file together with MozRepl. My situation is not an exception. By the way, if there is such situation with many similar problems and similar topics about them, is it better to create another new topic or add new problem to the old topic? (On different forums rule is different, so I ask about it).

Yesterday I installed newest version of Firefox and MozRepl 1.1.2. In Menu-Add-ons on Firefox, the MozRepl is switched on. So I begun to write a simple code like this one:

#include <FF.au3>
_FFStart("https://www.google.com") ; Line works fine, Google are loaded.

If _FFIsConnected() Then
    _FFOpenURL("https://www.autoitscript.com/site/") ; Nothing happens. Firefox has still Google loaded.
EndIf

_FFStart line works fine in every time, but any lines below are ignored, no matter there is _FFOpenURL or _FFObjGet, etc. Could You plese help me?

During execution of above code I receive the following information in the window of SciTE editor:

FFIsConnected is likely returning False, so the code inside the If..Endif isn't being executed. Try this:

If _FFIsConnected() Or _FFConnect(Default, Default, 3000) Then
    _FFOpenURL("https://www.autoitscript.com/site/")
EndIf

[Krzysztof]

Does not work.

[Danp2]

There's something else going on. I ran your original script and it worked fine as written. Are you sure MozRepl is running?

[Krzysztof]

It is switched ON (I have checked it again to make sure), but I have no idea how to check if it is running.

[Danp2]

You can try connecting with PuTTy or just issue the following from a cmd window:

telnet localhost 4242

[Krzysztof]

Telnet command is not recognised on my computer. I have just downloaded and installed putty, but what have I do next with putty?

[Danp2]

Set hostname equal to either localhost or 127.0.0.1.

Set port to 4242

Set connection type to Raw

[Krzysztof]

Does not work   . Please see attachment.

[Danp2]

This would indicate that Mozrepl isn't installed / running.
