Please do not waste our time.

the addon requirement kills the very purpose of having this UDF, because it will not work for everyone but only those who have addon installed.

Doesnt firefox has API's like IE that would work without any additional addons ?

Nope, which is why the addon was created. ;-)

You could check out IUIAutomation to see if you can use it to meet your needs.

As I see current version is here:

... but this thread was still used.
I would like to suggest to close this thread.

Hello,

 

There is a bug at line 2348. The following line:

$sRet = __FFRecv($iTimeOut)

Should be :

Local $sRet = __FFRecv($iTimeOut)

 

Thank you.

[mexykanu]

P.S.:

I cannot connect to Firefox at all, therefore FF.au3 does not work for me. I have a fresh install of Firefox, version 56.0.2 and MozRepl is installed and active (i've checked in the Add-ons menu). I cannot upgrade my AutoIt version as it breaks my scripts (there is some bug with _IE.au3).

More Details:

_FFConnect: OS: WIN_81 WIN32_NT 9600 
_FFConnect: AutoIt: 3.3.12.0
_FFConnect: FF.au3: 0.6.0.2b
_FFConnect: IP: 127.0.0.1
_FFConnect: Port:   4242
_FFConnect: Delay:  2ms
_FFConnect ==> Timeout: TCPConnect Error: 10061
_FFConnect ==> General Error: Timeout: Can not connect to FireFox/MozRepl on: 127.0.0.1:4242

I am using the default code from the English Help file, at: http://english.documentation.ff-au3.thorsten-willert.de/ff_functions/_FFConnect.php

Technically that's not a bug, stylistically it's an oversight.

Hello,

I'm forcing myself to use variable declarations, as it is extremely helpful in debugging.

Therefore i cannot run FF.au3 because i'm using this code in all of my scripts:

Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1)

Thank you

I understand your point of view and, as long as the default settings of Autoit are of concern, it's not a bug.

But, as long as FF.au3 is concerned, that is a bug because stylistically it is not the same with the rest of the declarations of the variables.

[BrewManNH]

It's only a bug because you chose to have all variables declared in YOUR code, it's not a bug as far as FF.au3 because the author wrote the code without that option and it's perfectly acceptable in AutoIt3 to have variables implicitly declared by their scope.

There is no bug in FF.au3 with it not declared, it runs as intended.

The reason why i could not connect, is because the MozRepl server was not started.

I can connect now. Thank you !

Isn't there any alternatives to be able to use FF.au3 other than having Firefox 54?

Not currently. One possible replacement for MozRepl would be Marionette, but I haven't done anything with it as of yet.

[mLipok]

Thanks @Danp2 for the link.

I just read this documentation a little, here is API Reference quick link

FWIW, I can connect with Putty to the local system on port 2828. However, I have not been able to connect using Python on a separate VM.

Edit: Now able to connect from remote. Have to change the setting of marionette.forcelocal to false
