need some help with firefox

[muhmuuh]

Hello!

I'm trying to automate some firefox processes. Can someone please help me set the default firefox page? I found that function _FFPrefSet ($ SName, $ vValue) in the FF.au3 but I could't find what are the possible values for $SName. Does someone now what value I should use? Is it there another way to set the default page?

I also have another question. Is it possible to automatically accept a ssl cer of a page and how? I searched through the FF.au3 but I didn't find anything that would help me.

Many thanks

Hello,

You can set the default startup page with this:

;...
_FFPrefSet("browser.startup.page",1)
_FFPrefSet("browser.startup.homepage","http://www.google.de")
; ...

There are all entries (same link like in the documentation):

about:config

What do you mean with "automatically accept a ssl cer"? This error page about unsecure certs?

[muhmuuh]

_FFPrefGet ==> No match: $sName: browser.startup.page

I guess I'm doing something wrong. Would you please give me a hint where I might do it wrong?

Also, can I do it using COM objects? And if yes, what should I use for classname for the ObjCreate function as

$oIE = ObjCreate("Mozilla.Browser.1")

didn't work

Thanks again

This means that there is no entry "browser.startup.page" in your current config. The _FFPrefSet doesn't create new entries it only changing existing ones.

So if you manually change your startup-page in your preferences then _FFPrefSet works.

You can check this if you open the page about:config and set the filter to browser.startup

For FireFox isn't a com interface available (only an old ActiveX for FF 1.5)

I manually changed my default page to google.bg

These are the values I got from about:config

browser.startup.homepage; google.bg

browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone; rv:1.9.0.5

browser.startup.page; 1

and I still get that error for _FFPrefSet

p.s. and yes, for "automatically accept a ssl cer" I mean the error page that appears about unsecure certs

Some questions:

- Can you try the latest version of the FF.au3, please (I've uploaded it some minutes ago)

- Can you show me the full log please?

I have no idea how can you disable this security check.

Ok, it looks like you haven't MozRepl (FireFox-AddOn) installed.
