I've read about XPCOM but that sounds more like a mechanism for extending the browsers than it does a way to script them.



The browser is an application composed of XPCOM components. With the help of XPConnect XPCOM components can be scripted with JavaScript. But that script needs to be part of the the application as far as I understand while you seem to be looking for a way to script the whole application from outside. I don't know whether this is possible, maybe someone else is able to give a definite answer on that.


I'll look into XPConnect, but you're correct in that I want to script the entire application.

I wonder what do you need in terms of a "scripted application" what features must run/work, where is the application to be stored (on a server, on a users screen, etc.)


There is --remote but I'm not too sure on that's use, or if it would cover your uses (and afaik it only works when a browser instance is already open)
