so that I don't clutter up this page.

I think I've fixed the problem.

The problem was in the FF.au3 function _FFLinksGetAll, there was sometimes a problem with non-ASCII chars.

I've uploaded a new version to test: FF.au3

Ok that fixed it. But I would sometimes randomly get an error with the _FFOpenUrl function (I think). Like I use that function and the page wouldn't load at all and there would be an _FFCmd_Err. It doesn't happen all the time, only onces every little while, but that's what's frustrating because it would stop working while I'm away from the computer when I can't fix it manually. Here's my code and the output:

Was at this moment (_FFConnect) any other FF-window open? A popup from an addon, or the download-manager ...?

Have you tried it with the latest version, too? (0.5.3.3b-0)

FF.au3

crazydude · April 19, 2009

Well I have set it up so that my regular FF is using port 4242 and Flock is using port 4243, with no more than 1 window each. And no pop ups from Flock as I only got it for this purpose with no addons except Adblock and Mozrepl. But I find that this usually happens at first startup when the browser is fresh, and to fix it I usually have to manually go to an address (using default homepage doesnt help). I will restart my comp and see if I can replicate it using the newest version.

Hello,

what do you mean with "sometimes"? On which situation?

Which browser-version do you have? Which MozRepl version? How does your script look like?

This line:

_FFConnect ==> General Error: Tried to connect to a non browser-window

means you try to connect to an other FF-window which is open, like download-manager, a message window ... so all other functions fails.

nice one

This is my script:

For $i = 0 To 5
    TraySetToolTip("Current: "&String($i))
    FileChangeDir("E:\FF\FirefoxPortable"&String($i)&"\")
    Run("FirefoxPortable.exe")
    WinSetState("Mozilla Firefox", "", @SW_MINIMIZE)
    Sleep(1000)
    _FFConnect("127.0.0.1", 4242) 
    For $n = 1 To 12
        _FFOpenUrl("http://search.freecause.com/search?ourmark=1&fr=freecause&ei=utf-8&type=58819&p="&randstr())
        _FFLoadWait()
        Sleep(1000)
    Next
    _FFDisConnect()
    Sleep(3000)
    WinClose("Mozilla Firefox")
    ProcessWaitClose("firefox.exe")
    Sleep(1000)
Next

It opens firefox portable from one of the directories and then goes on to performing searches with random strings (randstr returns a random string). By "sometimes" i mean, out of the 6 loops, sometimes all of them work (i would search 12 times and then close the browser), sometimes 1 or 2 dont work. And I have no download managers installed on the computer, so it can't be that.

And the version of Mozrepl is 1.0.0.2009041717

It could be that the time between run and _FFConnect is to short and the browser is not full ready.

You can look in the FF.au3 at the __FFStartProcess function as example.

With download manager I mean the FF-download-manager window, but I think it's more timing problem.

oxnume · April 23, 2009

I can't use the _FFStart because the portable firefox is not registered in the registry. I never download anything with them so the download manager never shows up, I just use them for only this purpose. I'll try setting the delay longer(maybe 2000? my computer is pretty fast), hopefully that works.

I've not said you should use _FFStart I said look at "__FFStartProcess"-code in the FF.au3 and take it as example how I'm starting the firefox.exe.

2000ms could work, depending on the other things your computer do at this time.

Hey I was wondering how do you install the mozrepl? I would like to use this but without that I don't think it can work. I have the latest version of firefox if you were wondering.

I've installed it like any other FF-AddOn.

Just click on the link with the XPI (MozRepl 1.0 release) and install it:

Ohh you know what I'm stupid, it wasn't working because I was on IE since I filter stuff with IE.

How to Use Proxy and Socks?

How to Use Proxy and Socks?

Do you wanna change the proxy and socks FF-preferences (config) via FF.au3 or what do you mean?

ThuongTin · May 13, 2009

Yes yes! Example plzz!

Edited May 13, 2009 by ThuongTin

Stilgar · May 13, 2009

Yes yes! Example plzz!

That's simple:

#region Includes
#include <FF.au3>
#endregion Includes

_FFConnect()

If _FFIsConnected() Then
    ; Config entries:
    ; http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config_entries

    _FFPrefSet("network.proxy.type",1) ; 1 = Manual proxy configuration

    ; http proxy
    _FFPrefSet("network.proxy.http", "192.168.0.199") ; http proxy
    _FFPrefSet("network.proxy.http_port", 8080) ; http proxy port

    ; Socks configuration
    _FFPrefSet("network.proxy.socks" ,"192.168.0.198") ; socks
    _FFPrefSet("network.proxy.socks_port", 80) ; socks port
    _FFPrefSet("network.proxy.socks_version", 4) ; socks version

    ; reset all to default values:
    #cs
    _FFPrefReset("network.proxy.type")
    _FFPrefReset("network.proxy.http")
    _FFPrefReset("network.proxy.http_port")
    _FFPrefReset("network.proxy.socks")
    _FFPrefReset("network.proxy.socks_port")
    _FFPrefReset("network.proxy.socks_version")
    #ce
