Do you have a GUI for this script that you did not include? Or are you just trying to get the Status Bar Text from a Firefox page? Can you give us the link?

I'm trying to get the statusbar text from a Firefox page.Does it matter which page Firefox has opened?

Well, I think it is making it too hard on yourself to use Firefox. I am sure it can be done, but instead I would use IE and use the IE.au3 UDF by DaleHolm. In that case what you want to do is below. The function you were using was for a GUI window created in AutoIt, not for a web browser; hence why I asked what webpage you were viewing, it didn't seem like you knew the right terminology. It is probably possible to get this done in Firefox, but I am lazy and the solution for IE is 5 seconds away.

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate ("http://www.autoitscript.com", 0, 1, 0, 0)

Local $sStatus
While Not ($sStatus = "Done")
    $sStatus = _IEPropertyGet ( $oIE, "statustext")
    ConsoleWrite("Status Bar Text: " & $sStatus & @CRLF)
WEnd

Your Output will be something like this:

Status Bar Text: Website found. Waiting for reply...

Status Bar Text: Website found. Waiting for reply...

Status Bar Text:

Status Bar Text:

Status Bar Text:

Status Bar Text:

Status Bar Text:

Status Bar Text:

Status Bar Text: Waiting for http://www.autoitscript.com/...

Status Bar Text: Done

well... your answer is here:

You want to Create the object, then use the .status scope to return your text.

You can use the FF.au3 and MozLab to do this:

#include <FF.au3>

$Socket = _FFStart("http://www.test.net")
$sStatusText = _FFSetGet($Socket,"window.content.status")
