Firefox doesn't really play in the Applescripting world. See this bug filed against it, and vote for that bug if you'd like to make it Applescriptable.
However, there are some workarounds for Firefox 2. Adium uses this:
if ((application processes whose (name is equal to "firefox-bin")) count) is greater than 0 then
tell application "Firefox"
if (count of every window) is greater than 0 then
set the end of candidateURLs to «class curl» of window 1
end if
end tell
end ifHengist says this might be written in appscript like this:
from appscript import *
ff = app('Firefox')
appscriptref = ff.windows[1]
aemref = appscriptref.AS_aemreference
aemref = aemref.property('curl')
appscriptref = ff.AS_newreference(aemref)
print appscriptref.get()Unfortunately, Firefox 3 broke this workaround.
