FF.au3 error :( - and can't manage to do it :(

[Rickname]

I downloaded FF.au3 , installed MozRepl, started it, put 4242 as port in it, then when Im trying to run this simple script :

#include "FF.au3"
_FFConnect(default,Default,6000)

_FFWindowOpen("http://www.youtube.com", True, True)

The thing is, it actually works, but it is still gives me a very annoying error :

It works partially, still the function can't retrieve the handle of the created window :

The only error that disappeared was the TCP error :/

I see the same thing. Try this:

#include <FF.au3>
_FFStart("http://www.youtube.com")

This is a known issue with _FFWindowOpen. It's trying to set extended with the hWnd from a FF window that isn't yet selected. It's wonky. Try the following and the final attempt to get the handle should succeed:

_FFStart("http://www.youtube.com")

_FFWindowSelect()

Or

_FFConnect(Default, 4242, 6000)
_FFWindowOpen("http://www.youtube.com", True, True)
_FFWindowSelect()

 

P.S. When you see LoadWait results like this: "_FFLoadWait: . loaded in 85ms" you can be reasonably sure it's a selection problem. MozRepl is many great things, but fast isn't one of them!

Thankyou Gonnosuke

So the final solution is this :

_FFStart("http://www.youtube.com")

_FFWindowSelect()

The other sol with WindowOpen doesn't work !

FWIW, just posted an update over in the FF.au3 thread that should address the issue with _FFWindowGetHandle returning an empty handle.
