Title: Firefox automation...
Post by: sheldor on September 13, 2008, 09:13:03 AM
Ok, all you Firefox worshippers  :biggrin

Does mozilla have a firefox component ?  I need to host the browser in my own application.  Either this or can I detect events in the firefox browser ?   Here is the basic functionality I need...
- when a page has finished loading
- when a link is clicked

Some of our users have Firefox - WHY is a mystery but we need support it.

Well you did ask for help on this.  You can try to do what you want in IE.  Good luck on that.  ;)

IE works fine here...no spam, popups or viruses.

That's not what I was talking about.  I was talking about your request above for a Firefox function to detect when a page load is done, click a link, etc.  That's what you asked about.
