− | This page documents features that are unique to iMacros for ''Firefox''. For the standard features of the iMacros series, please see the [[Form Filling]], [[Browser Automation]], [[Data Extraction]] and [[Web Testing]] chapters.
| + | ==Scope== |
| + | iMacros for Firefox (version 10 and above) is one of the [[Webextensions|iMacros Webextensions]]. A detailed documentation of features and limitations is found in that page. Here we document the few differences to that common page. |
| + | |
| + | For the legacy versions (9 and below) refer to [[iMacros for Firefox Legacy]]. |

− | | |
− | No administrative rights are required for the installation. Win, Mac and Linux are supported.
| |
− | | |
− | ==Bookmarking ==
| |
− | You can '''use iMacros as super-bookmarks''': To open the bookmark dialog right-click on the macro that you want to bookmark and select the "local" option. This option adds a link to the macro ''on your computer'' to your bookmarks.
| |
− | | |
− | [[Image:Run-right-click.png|left|thumb|250px|(1) Right-click the macro you want to bookmark]]
| |
− | | |
− | [[Image:Run-bookmark-local.png|left|thumb|400px| (2) Select the '''''Local''''' option for "normal" bookmarks]]
| |
− | | |
− | [[Image:Firefox-bookmarks.png|left|thumb|300px| (3a) A link (reference) to your macro is added to the Firefox bookmark menu. iMacros opens automatically if you select an iMacros super-bookmark.]]

− | [[Image:Firefox bookmarks toolbar.png|left|thumb|300px| (3b) You can place your most-used macros on the Bookmarks Toolbar.]]
| |
− | | |
− | <br style="clear:both" />
| |
− | | |
− | If you run a bookmarked macro and the iMacros sidebar is not open, the sidebar will open to run the macro and close again after the macro is complected. If the sidebar was visible before the macro is started, it will remain visible after the macro is completed.
| |
− | | |
− | For experts: The bookmarked URL has the format:
| |
− | imacros://run/?m=my_saved_macro.iim
| |
− | iMacros intercepts this URL and runs the local macro file instead. If the macro is inside subfolder(s), please use this format (%5C stands for /):
| |
− | imacros://run/?m=subfolder1%5subfolder2%5Cmy_saved_macro.iim

− | == Keyboard Shortcuts ==
| |
− | | |
− | Press the '''F8''' function key to open and close the iMacros sidebar. If required, you can change this shortcut with another [http://forum.iopus.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=9272&p=27882#p27882 Firefox extension].
| |
− | | |
− | ==Bookmarklets==
| |
− | The iMacros bookmark dialog gives you the option to '''embed your macros directly into a link (bookmarklet)''' and share it with others. Note: You can only create bookmarklets from macro (.iim) files and not Javascript (.js) files.
| |
− | | |
− | '''Important:''' If you want to add the embedded macro as a link on an HTML page, make sure it is url-encoded using e.g. [http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/ this tool].

− | [[Image:imacros-social-scripting.png|left|thumb|400px|iMacros offers several options to share your macros and scripts]]
| |
− | <br style="clear:both" />
| |
− | | |
− | Since iMacros for Firefox V6.5 the [[iMacros_for_Chrome#iMacros_as_Bookmarklets|bookmarklet format]] introduced with [[iMacros for Chrome]] is also supported in Firefox.
| |
− | | |
− | ==Password Security==
| |
− | iMacros allows you to [[Password Security|store passwords using secure 256-bit AES encryption]]. In addition, iMacros for Firefox '''integrates directly with the [[Firefox Password Manager]]''' and uses it to store the master password (if you decide to store it).
| |
− | | |
− | ==Command Line Support==
| |
− | You can start imacros (or Javascript scripts) inside of Firefox via the command line:
| |
− | | |
− | "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" imacros://run/?m=...
| |
− | | |
− | or
| |
− | | |
− | "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" imacros://run/?code=...
| |
− | | |
− | for instance:
| |
− | | |
− | "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" imacros://run/?m=Demo-FillForm.iim
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | '''Note:'''
| |
− | When you first start Firefox via the command line the iMacros extension is not immediately active . It takes a few seconds for Firefox to activate it. So the imacros://run/ command does get intercepted already but not yet processed by iMacros and a blank page appears.
| |
− | | |
− | '''Solution:'''
| |
− | ''Make sure that Firefox is already running.'' If you start Firefox a second time, Firefox will direct this new command automatically to the already running instance. Now iMacros can "see" the imacros://run/ URL and start the macro.
| |
− | | |
− | You can use a batch file like this:
| |
− | | |
− | Code:
| |
− | start "" "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" http://www.google.com
| |
− | ping 127.1.1.1 (or pause or sleep ... it is just to cause a small delay)
| |
− | start "" "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" imacros://run/?m=Demo-FillForm.iim
| |
− | | |
− | Note: If you use the batch '''start''' command, [http://forum.iopus.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6487 Firefox must be the default browser].
| |
− | | |
− | '''For Mac OS X users:''' to start a macro from the OS X command line or as a scheduled job, you can use the following command syntax:
| |
− | | |
− | /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin imacros://run/?m=Demo-FillForm.iim
| |
− | | |

− | ''Alternative solution:'' If you need more control over Firefox you can use the [[Web Scripting|iMacros Scripting Interface]] that comes with the [http://www.iopus.com/imacros/compare/all/ iMacros Enterprise Edition]. This method gives you complete control over Firefox and Internet Explorer. For example, you can return error codes or extracted data from the browser to your program or script.
| |
− | | |
− | ==Javascript Scripting Interface==
| |
− | | |
− | Automate complex tasks: iMacros [[Command Reference|commands]] refer to web page elements, so any programming logic must be put into a script that then uses iMacros to automate the website. For this purpose iMacros for Firefox contains a '''built-in Javascript Scripting Interface''', which runs directly inside the browser. Just like Firefox this interface is cross-platform (Win, Mac, Linux).
| |
− | | |
− | The following information focuses on this built-in Javascript Scripting Interface.
| |
− | | |
− | Supported commands:
| |
− | * [[iimDisplay]]
| |
− | * [[iimSet]]
| |
− | * [[iimPlay]]
| |
− | * [[iimPlayCode]]
| |
− | * [[iimGetExtract]]
| |
− | * [[iimGetErrorText]]
| |
− | * [[iimClose]] is not supported, but you can [http://forum.iopus.com/viewtopic.php?t=4389 use window.close()] inside of Firefox
| |
− | | |
− | Note that the syntax of the regular, commercial Windows [[Web Scripting]] Interface and the built-in Firefox Javascript Scripting Interface is identical (unless where explicitly noted). Therefore they use the same documentation.
| |
| | | |
− | [[Image:Javascript display speed.png|frame|By default each Javascript step is shown during replay. This option is useful for testing and debugging, but it slows down the Javascript execution artificially. To run Javascript at its normal (very fast) speed please uncheck this option.]]
| + | ==Downloading Files== |
| | | |
− | [[Image:Javascript showsteps.png|frame|Javascript code running inside iMacros. The the '''//imacros-js:showsteps yes/no''' comment at the top of your Javascript file (including the //) overrides the global setting of "Show Javascript" checkbox in the option dialog.]] | + | If you have iMacro File Access installed you can use the [[ONDOWNLOAD]] command to automate the download of files in Firefox. If the File Access is not installed, the [[ONDOWNLOAD]] parameters are ignored but the file is downloaded with its default file name, to Firefox default downloads folder. However, by default, Firefox will prompt you to choose between saving or opening a file upon download. iMacros cannot handle this prompt and will only be able to download the file if Firefox default action for this file type is ''Save File''. |
| + | [[File:FirefoxPreferencesApplications.png|400px|thumb|center|In order to have the download handled by iMacros, the action in Firefox preferences has to be set as ''Save File''. See [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file|'''Change what Firefox does when you click on or download a file''']]] |
| | | |
| + | If the file type you are downloading is not listed under ''Content Type'', you will have to edit Firefox ''handlers.js'' file manually. In the example below we included .exe and .msi in handlers.json, using "action":0 for save. |
| + | { |
| + | "defaultHandlersVersion": { |
| + | "en-GB": 4 |
| + | }, |
| + | "mimeTypes": { |

− | [[Image:Javascript_examples.png|frame|left]]'''Examples:''' iMacros for Firefox automatically installs the SI-Run-Test.js, SI-Get-Exchange-Rate.js, [[Self-Test.js]] and [http://run.imacros.net/?code=DQp2YXIgTXlNYWNyb0NvZGUNCnZhciBqc05ld0xpbmU9IlxuIg0KTXlNYWNyb0NvZGUgPSAiQ09ERToiDQpNeU1hY3JvQ29kZSA9IE15TWFjcm9Db2RlKyJWRVJTSU9OIEJVSUxEPTUyMDA4MTQiICsganNOZXdMaW5lDQpNeU1hY3JvQ29kZSA9IE15TWFjcm9Db2RlKyJUQUIgVD0xIiArIGpzTmV3TGluZSAgICANCk15TWFjcm9Db2RlID0gTXlNYWNyb0NvZGUrIlRBQiBDTE9TRUFMTE9USEVSUyIgKyBqc05ld0xpbmUgIA0KTXlNYWNyb0NvZGUgPSBNeU1hY3JvQ29kZSsiVVJMIEdPVE89aHR0cDovL3d3dy5pb3B1cy5jb20iICsganNOZXdMaW5lDQpNeU1hY3JvQ29kZSA9IE15TWFjcm9Db2RlKyJVUkwgR09UTz1odHRwOi8vZm9ydW0uaW9wdXMuY29tIg0KDQppaW1EaXNwbGF5KCJTdGFydCBkZW1vIikNCmlpbVBsYXkoTXlNYWNyb0NvZGUpDQppaW1QbGF5KCJDT0RFOlVSTCBHT1RPPWh0dHA6Ly93d3cuaW9wdXMuY29tL2ltYWNyb3MvaXJwIikNCmlpbURpc3BsYXkoIlNjcmlwdCBjb21wbGV0ZWQuIikNCi8vaWltRXhpdCgpDQo%3D SI-Send-Macro-Code.js] ([[SI-Send-Macro-Code.js|View Script Source Code]]) example javascripts.
| + | To locate the handlers.json file, type in Firefox navigation bar "about:support" and under General Information/Profile Folder you can click on the button Open Folder. |
| | | |
− | '''Important:''' iMacros macros must have the '''".iim"''' file extension and Javascript scripts must have the '''".js"''' file extension.
| + | ==Clearing Cookies and Cache== |
| | | |
| + | When you clear the browser history in Firefox, iMacros stored data is also removed. Thus all your iMacros preferences are lost. iMacros will work again, but you preferences will be reset to their defaults. This also happens if you set Firefox to ''Clear history when Firefox closes'' in about:preferences#privacy. |
| | | |
− | Note: Firefox can be ''remote'' controlled by the regular [[Web Scripting|iMacros Scripting Interface]] via [[iimInit]] ("-fx"). The Javascript Scripting Interface does not include [[iimInit]] and [[iimExit]], because they are not required. The Javascript runs ''inside'' the browser. The regular iMacros Scripting Interface is''' now available for [[Linux]]'''. It allows you to remote control Firefox [[iMacros for Chrome| and Chrome]] via Python.
| + | The [[CLEAR]] command, on the other hand, does not delete iMacros data, while clearing cache and cookies. It also accepts an argument to filter the cookies to be cleared by domain name. Using CLEAR with no argument clears all cookies and cache. Using e.g. |
− | | + | CLEAR facebook.com |
− | ===Running multiple iMacros js scripts simultaneously===
| + | will clear all of the cache, but only cookies from Facebook. If you only want to clear the cache, then specify a nonexistent domain name |
− | If you need to run more than one js script in iMacros for Firefox at the same time, you have to use a different [http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles Firefox profile] for each script and make sure [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Opening_a_new_instance_of_Firefox_with_another_profile each opens as a different process].

| ==Scripting Firefox== | | ==Scripting Firefox== |
− | Mozilla Firefox, the complete browser, can be scripted with the commercial iMacros Enterprise Edition (= [[Web Scripting|iMacros Scripting API]]). So while the free Java scripting runs '''inside''' Firefox, the API allows you to control Firefox from [[Sample Code|external software (C++, C#, Python, Perl,...)]]. For details, see the chapter with the [[iimOpen|iimOpen command]].
| |
| | | |
− | ==Automatic Updates==
| + | Due to the WebExtensions framework adopted by Mozilla and released with Firefox 56 (a.k.a. Quantum), iMacros for Firefox 10 no longer includes the built-in Javascript scripting interface for playing .js files directly from the iMacros sidebar. However, as mentioned in [[Webextensions#Scripting_Chrome_and_Firefox|Scripting Chrome and Firefox]], you can still control iMacros for Firefox via external scripts and programs. |
| | | |
− | By default Firefox will attempt to keep your add-ons (including iMacros for Firefox) up-to-date. This is a function of the Firefox browser itself and not specifically the iMacros add-on. To prevent iMacros for Firefox from automatically updating, find the entry for iMacros in the list of Extensions using the Firefox Add-ons Manager, then click the "More" link:
| + | iMacros for Firefox requires the latest version of the iMacros scripting interface (API) included with the [[Webextensions#Add_File_Access|File Access installer]] under the following scenario: |
| | | |
− | [[File:iMacros_extension.png]]
| + | If you use the iMacros Enterprise (v12.0 or older) scripting interface to connect to iMacros for Firefox '''*and*''' specify a non-default Firefox profile using e.g.: |
− | <br><br>
| |
− | Next, scroll to the bottom of the page and turn Automatic Updates off:
| |
− | <br><br>
| |
− | [[File:iMacros-FF_Automatic_Update.png]]
| |
| | | |
− | ==Website Monitoring==
| + | iimOpen("-fx -fxProfile MyProfile") |
| | | |
− | [[File:Alertfox_small_logo.png]]
| + | then you will need to copy and overwrite the following dlls first before this functionality will work with the current version of iMacros for Firefox. This is not required if you are already using a newer version of iMacros Enterprise (newer than v12.0) or if you are not using -fxProfile. |
− | iMacros is ideally suited for web performance monitoring and [http://wiki.alertfox.com/Synthetic_Monitoring synthetic user monitoring]. | |
| | | |
− | Sometimes this is also called transaction monitoring or real user monitoring. In all these cases it means the ability to test websites '''and their functionality''' with real web browsers as opposed to simple uptime monitoring with "ping" or "http" requests. For this purpose the iMacros team has created the popular AlertFox [http://alertfox.com website monitoring] service. It runs 1000s of iMacros for Firefox instances on the [http://wiki.alertfox.com/Monitoring_Server backend]. Give it a try and sign up for a [http://alertfox.com/free-website-monitoring/?ref=wiki free website monitoring] account. And continuously test and measure your website performance with your iMacros macros.

| | | |
− | ==Portable Firefox==
| + | * On 64-bit systems |
− | Mozilla Firefox®, Portable Edition is the popular Mozilla Firefox web browser bundled with a PortableApps.com Launcher as a portable app, so you can take your bookmarks, extensions and saved passwords with you on a USB stick. iMacros is optimized and tested to work well with the Portable Edition. If you plan to use iMacros with the Firefox Portable please ''check "Store data in profile" folder'' on the the PATH tab in the OPTIONS dialog. Then iMacros stores all data inside the Firefox data folder (which typically is on your USB stick) instead of using absolute paths. No data gets lost or moved while switching the folder location.

| | | |
− | ==Languages==
| + | * On 32-bit systems |
− | Thanks to the contribution of iMacros for Firefox users around the world, iMacros for Firefox is currently offered in the following locales:
| + | # Copy imtcp.dll to %programfiles%\Ipswitch\iMacros |
− | * en-US
| |
− | * ru-RU
| |
− | * de-DE
| |

| |
− | * it-IT
| |
− | * pt-BR
| |
| | | |
− | However, most of the above locales are still only partially supported.
| + | ==Known Issues== |
− | | + | Current known issues with the latest version of iMacros for Firefox: |
− | When installing, Firefox will load the locale matching the language of Firefox itself.
| + | * Docking the iMacros panel (sidebar) can break the ability to drag and drop tabs in Firefox. |
− | | + | * Search and replace dialog no longer work in the macro editor due to Firefox CSP (Content Security Policy) for Web Extensions. |

− | == iMacros for Firefox Mobile == | |
− | | |
− | If there is one place where web browsing is more work then fun, then it is on the small screen of your mobile phone. iMacros will help you to automate your logins and form filling on your mobile soon. See [[iMacros for Firefox Mobile|this page]] for more information.
| |
− | | |
− | We are currently working on it! It will allow you to replay your bookmarked macros directly on your Android. '''If you want to help us with testing, please email info@iopus.com with "iMacros for Firefox Mobile" in your email subject.'''
| |
− | --->
| |
− | | |
− | ==Privacy Policy==
| |
− | | |
− | '''Our privacy policy is simple: iMacros stores ''everything'' on your PC.''' In other words, ''no'' iMacros information is stored on our website. iMacros is ''not'' an online service. We ''never'' have access to your macros or scripts. This includes the [[iMacros for Firefox#Social_Scripting|social scripting]] feature. Even in this case our servers are ''not'' involved.
| |
− | | |
− | Technical background information for those who are interested in how it works:
| |
− | | |
− | If you want share you macros ([[iMacros for Firefox#Social_Scripting|social scripting]]) and select the option "Run everywhere: Embed macro in URL" in the bookmark menu then the macro is encoded in the URL (link). This feature is useful if you want to email the URL (= macro) to your friends and coworkers or want to embed the macro in your website or blog. This means visitors of your website or Intranet page can run the macro. Again, no macro information is stored on our website. The URL contains the complete macro (For experts: The macro is [http://forum.iopus.com/viewtopic.php?t=3604 BASE64] encoded).
| |
− | | |
− | You can add the iMacros bookmark url with the embedded macro to a social bookmarking service like [http://del.icio.us/imacros/imacro http://del.icio.us/]. Then the information is stored on their website and other users can run your macros. We think this is a very cool feature. But it is your decision to share your scripts, and our website is not involved in this.
| |
− | | |
− | Technically what happens if you call a URL that starts with <nowiki>javascript:(function()...</nowiki> is that iMacros intercepts the URL and executes the macro. That's all and it happens locally ''on your machine''. If no iMacros add-on is installed, then a simple web page is opened that provides the user with a download link to iMacros.
| |
− | | |
− | Passwords are stored 256-bit AES encrypted inside the macro files. AES is a very strong encryption that can not be broken. So even if somebody would get a hold of your macros, they will useless to him/her without your master password.
| |
− | | |
− | Last but not least, you do not have to take our word for it. iMacros for Firefox is open source, so everybody can view and inspect it.
| |
| | | |
| ==Version History== | | ==Version History== |
| | | |
− | ''Read what's new:''
| + | ===Version 10.0.2, released July 9, 2018=== |
− | | + | This is the first version which supports Firefox Quantum (Firefox 57 and above). It is a complete new version for the Firefox Webextension API, which has more similarities with [[iMacros for Chrome]] than [[iMacros for Firefox Legacy|previous versions of iMacros for Firefox]]. In particular, there are some commands, variables, and functionality that were previously supported but currently are not mostly because the WebExtension API provided by Mozilla still lacks support for it. |
− | *'''2016-08-10 V9.0.3 ''' => [http://download.imacros.net/archive/iMacros-Fx/imacros_for_firefox-9.0.3-fx.xpi Download now]
| |
− | ** This version is a '''major upgrade''' to add compatibility with Multi Process Firefox released in Firefox 48 (codename [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis Electrolysis], e10s). Unfortunately, this change imposes the following limitations:
| |
− | *** [[SCREENSHOT]] TYPE=BROWSER is no longer possible,
| |
− | *** [[SAVEAS]] TYPE=CPL is not available anymore,
| |
− | *** [[TAG#File_Upload|File Upload]] in the TAG command cannot be supported.
| |
− | *** [[CLICK]] (X/Y) record mode is now deprecated, use [[EVENT]] mode instead. However, existing macros that contain [[CLICK]] commands can be replayed.
| |
− | ** The following were never officially supported and had to be removed as well, since Firefox no longer allows access to the page DOM from the browser context (only [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Multiprocess_Firefox/Limitations_of_frame_scripts frame scripts] can do so now)
| |
− | *** No access to webpage DOM from javascript in .js files (window, content objects) or macros (URL GOTO=javascript:...),
| |
− | *** imns (iMacros namespace) is no longer accessible.

| |
− | ** This version is a '''major upgrade''' to add compatibility with the upcoming "multi-process" version of Firefox (codename [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis Electrolysis], e10s). Please report any found issues in the [http://forum.imacros.net/viewforum.php?f=11 iMacros for Firefox Forum] and use '''[V9]''' as part of your subject line.

| |
− | ** iMacros is no longer a "legacy add-on" but a modern restartless add-on :-)

− | *** Download of files with a .exe extension fails with an error "ONDOWNLOAD command was used but no download occurred. Error code - 804"
| |
− | *** iMacros upgrade does not overwrite the demo macros. Workaround: A fresh iMacros install includes the latest version of the demos.
| |
− | ** Commands not yet supported (they require Firefox API improvements):
| |
− | *** [[SCREENSHOT]] TYPE=BROWSER, [[SAVEAS]] TYPE=CPL
| |
− | *** [http://wiki.imacros.net/TAG#File_Upload File Upload] in the TAG command cannot be supported
| |
− | *** [[CLICK]] command is now replaced by [[EVENT]] mode in the Recorder. However, already existing macros that contain [[CLICK]] command can be replayed

− | '''iMacros 9.0.3''' adds compatibility with Multi Process Firefox released in Firefox 48 (codename [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis Electrolysis], e10s). Unfortunately, this change imposes the following limitations:
| |
− | | |
− | * [[SCREENSHOT]] TYPE=BROWSER is no longer possible
| |
− | * [[SAVEAS]] TYPE=CPL is not available anymore
| |
− | * [[TAG#File_Upload|File Upload]] in the TAG command cannot be supported
| |
− | * [[CLICK]] (X/Y) record mode is now deprecated, use [[EVENT]] mode instead. However, existing macros that contain [[CLICK]] commands can be replayed.
| |
− | * The following were never officially supported and had to be removed as well, since Firefox no longer allows access to the page DOM from the browser context (only [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Multiprocess_Firefox/Limitations_of_frame_scripts frame scripts] can do so now)
| |
− | ** No access to webpage DOM from javascript in .js files (window, content objects) or macros (URL GOTO=javascript:...)
| |
− | ** imns (iMacros namesapce) is no longer accessible
