I tried this and other solutions, but seem to have some problems (old code and a bit confused). Can someone help me to use firefox embedded in a script? thanks!

check out the mozilla developer help here about embedded gecko which is the layout engine used by firefox.

most likely you would not need to embed all of firefox. just the engine, and some interface options you pick your self.

If you find that you need more, you can look into the embedded mozilla project here

hope this helps

Thank you, very useful links.. and if instead I would like to embed only a webpage in a GUI, but using firefox and not IE?

try

$Main = GUICreate("Your Gui Name", 800, 600, -1, -1)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

to create a gui to display it on

ShellExecute("app_name.exe")
WinWaitActive("Window Title")

to run it and wait for it to show

;$Window_Handle = WinGetHandle("Window Title")
;WinSetState($Window_Handle, "", @SW_HIDE)
;_WinAPI_SetWindowLong($Window_Handle , $GWL_STYLE, $WS_POPUP)
;WinSetState($Window_Handle, "", @SW_SHOW)

so that you only get the web page displayed

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()

    $gui_pos = WinGetPos("Your Gui Name")
    WinMove("Window Title", "", $gui_pos[0] + 5, $gui_pos[1] + 30, 600, 400)

    If WinActive("Your Gui Name") = False Then
        WinSetOnTop("Window Title", "", 0)
    Else
        WinSetOnTop("Window Title", "", 1)
    EndIf

    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

for the loop to set the browser on top if the gui is selected to make it look embeded and move it to the right pos

i think you need to add some more stuff aswell to make it move with it and look right but that should cover a basic functionality of embedding any program into a gui
