But its not working sir

Have you tried it?

It's not the same:

Controlsend("Mozilla Firefox", "", "MozillaUIWindowClass", "^t", 1)

Controlsend("Mozilla Firefox", "", "MozillaUIWindowClass", "^t")

Not sure if this is what you want but if you throw a ControlFocus in there it will get the end result. I noticed you were trying to use "MozillaUIWindowClass", as the ControlID, if you use Autoit v3 Window Info you see that the Control ID Is actually blank, or maybe I am just reading it incorrectly.

ControlFocus("Mozilla Firefox", "", "")
Controlsend("Mozilla Firefox", "", "", "^t")

What version of AutoIt are you using? When I try what I mentioned, it works everytime.

Edit: I am using the latest Beta Version 3.2.13.13

Edit 2: Go to this link for a bunch of useful FF information and download FF.au3

You are getting somewhat annoying here as I think they are trying to help you and "you are not helping much to help you"!

What about being clear in the exact version you are running and what/how you are exactly testing...

This is also working fine for me:

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)  
ControlFocus("Mozilla Firefox", "", "")
Controlsend("Mozilla Firefox", "", "", "^t")

Dear Jos I try every thing but diden't succeed & I am having verion 3 of autoit given on 1st page of autoitscript

Which version 3? the version number has 4 numbers separated by a DOT.

Also try the script I posted above yours to ensure the window is properly found.

If you would use the link I mentioned above and download FF.au3 you could use #include <FF.au3> in your script and use something as simple as:

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

to open Firefox and have it navigate to google.com

Edit: My advice would be to read the documentation on FF.au3 it is full of useful information and will give ideas on how to do a lot with Firefox, probably more then you would want to. You can find a link to the documentation in this post as well. http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=70821

It definitely does have a class it just doesn't have a ControlID. - Atleast how I understand the AutoIt Info tool.

If you click the link I have mentioned you will see the download for FF.au3 on the very first post from Volly. If you open FF.au3 in SciTE you will get a good idea what it does, it is fairly commented.
