want to take a text file (which has a list of urls) and have my script go through them 1 by one using Firefox.
 
So for instance, if the first two urls in my list were:
www.google.com
www.amazon.com
 
I would want to spawn firefox and load www.google.com. Once google loads, I would like to kill Firefox and restart it, this time with www.amazon.com loaded. I am basically running a stress test on a browser based product.
 
I have been able to do this in IE with no problems (Calling IE's COM object).I also have used the PAMIE module without a problem in IE. The problem is Firefox uses XPCOM and I have never worked with XPCOM, and thus havent worked with PyXPCOM before. Any insight will help.
 
FYI: I did try writing a script which loads firefox from the command line and navigates to a site, but once I try to kill Firefox and move to the next url nothing happens:
 
import os
import time
 
file = open("C:\urls.txt")
 
for x in file:
  
   firefox = "C:\progra~1\mozill~1\firefox.exe "
   firefox = firefox + x
   os.system(firefox)
   time.sleep(10)
   taskkill = "taskkill /f /im firefox.exe"
   os.system(taskkill)
 
file.close ()
