169528 - make the mozilla interface scriptable

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 153645

(SeaMonkey :: General, enhancement)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020828

I would love to be able to write a script, that when started, will control what
mozilla does.  For instance, one could give it a list of URLs to display, maybe
save or print each page.  

It might be too difficult to support this cross platform using a GUI, so maybe
something more along the lines of a macro, where it accepts a series of
keystrokes as commands. For instance, CTL-SHFT-Lwww.slashdot.org^MTABTABTAB^M 
would open the site www.slashdot.org, TAB 3 times to osdn's gallery page link
and go to it.

This would beautifully automate some very routine, boring stuff I do, and I can
imagine it would be a great boon to regression testing of Mozilla itself.  I can
see this feature being incredibly useful to an incredibly small number of users
(but a very large percentage of developers, so it's good, right?).

I couldn't find anything in the documentation or QA section on such a feature. 
If some support for this does exist, I'd love to hear about it
