[SOLVED] Need help with FF.au3 Firefox portable

[nooneclose]

my FF.au3 does get included but my script does not open firefox. 

here is my code so far:

#include <FF.au3>
_FFStart("https://www.google.com", Default, 0)

I am using firefox portable version 52.0 Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.  

The code runs but nothing happens. I think the FF.au3 cannot find or connect to the firefox portable.

Did you install the MozRepl plugin? Is there any indication as to why it' s not starting, error messages, warnings, etc.?

[nooneclose]

I did install the MozRepl plugin. (It says it is an extension) and as far as I know, there is no error message. 

here is the console output from start to finish:

Make sure the MozRepl extension is started (there should be a Mozrepl meou under the main Tools menu). Also, you can try setting $_FF_COM_TRACE = True

I haven't used this UDF in a while since it no longer works with current versions of FF. I suspect that you will need to manually launch the portable version of FF and then call _FFConnect.

[nooneclose]

Thanks for the reply, I will try those and get back with you today.

@nooneclose Sounds like MozRepl isn't started.

Looks like it to me.

@Danp2 Thank you very much for helping me. Do you have or know of any tutorials or guides the FF.au3 UDF? I am trying to convert my IE program to Firefox. (IE has become too outdated. My program no longer works because the program I work with no longer supports it)
