(I think this question has come up before, but please bear with me...)

What would it take to write a layer of code for Mozilla/Firefox on the lines of what WATiR currently has available for IE, that would let WATiR drive Mozilla/Firefox instances the way it's done for IE right now ? Specifically, what to target and what to use to target it ? Some delving suggests that an XPCOM based approach might be the way to go, but I haven't been able to figure out exactly how to approach this. Can anyone on this list offer some advice or pointers ? We might be able to offer some resources to work on this, but right now knowing where to look and how to start is the tough part.

It would be kind of neat to have the browser parameterized so that apart from the instantiation of a specific browser, a WATiR script for a given application could run unchanged for IE/FireFox/<your browser here>, modulo differences in browser functionality (e.g. tabs).
