What have you tried so far?
Which extension do we talk about?

[noellarkin]

If you're using FF57 or below, or Waterfox classic, then you can install the MozRepl plugin, that establishes a Telnet based connection on port 4242 with the browser.
Then you can use:

TCPStartup()
Local $Socket = TCPConnect("127.0.0.1", 4242)
Local $Send = TCPSend("enter javascript here")

"water" well  i made an extension to fill form but web designer prevented filling form by addons . so i try using auto it to fill them  but need connection between autoit and the extension.

"noellarkin" so i must install MozRepl  on my firefox . then send message with autoit to MozRepl  and MozRepl send the message to my extension?

i want use latest version of firefox . is it possible?

No, MozRepl only works up to FireFox 57.
Use WebDriver for later versions.

WebDriver UDF:

I tried WebDriver before but it is too slow and buggy (after that i started learn JS for firefox). speed is too important for me

so on FF57  . is it possible  send mesage to MozRepl  with autoit  and MozRepl send message to my extension?

and how it works reverse

Moved to the appropriate AutoIt General Help and Support forum, as the Developer General Discussion forum very clearly states:

General development and scripting discussions.

Do not create AutoIt-related topics here, use the AutoIt General Help and Support or AutoIt Technical Discussion forums.

It seems to be difficult for you to pick the correct forum, so please tell us which part of this standard message is unclear to you?

Mozrepl works with Waterpress Classic as well. Try it out. Yeah you have to inject some "Helper" functions to get the console output back into autoit but it can be done. You'll have to use TCPRecv().

If you want to use the latest version of FF, Mozrepl won't work. Stick to WebDriver.
