iMacros EOL - Attention!

The renewal maintenance has officially ended for Progress iMacros effective November 20, 2023 and all versions of iMacros are now considered EOL (End-of-Life). The iMacros products will no longer be supported by Progress (aside from customer license issues), and these forums will also no longer be moderated from the Progress side.

Thank you again for your business and support.

Sincerely,
The Progress Team

Hi,

The firefox add-in is the equivalent of the Power Surfer edition of the standard iMacros product, although it does currently have more functionality. So this free version does not support batch files.

If you own the iMacros Scripting Edition you can remote control Firefox just like Internet Explorer. Instead of iimInit ("-ie") you only need to use iimInit ("-fx").

Thanks for asking. Currently you need to follow these steps:

1. Install iMacros Scripting Edition (or trial version) V5.22

2. Install iMacros for Firefox V0.6.0.6 Beta

3. Install the new iMacros Scripting Interface Beta: http://forum.imacros.net/viewtopic.php?t=2713

Once the new Scripting Interface is installed, iimInit ("-fx") works. If you encounter any problems with that, please let us know.
