AutoIt with Firefox

Question

I have several tabs open in Firefox. I want AutoIt to activate a particular tab in Firefox. How can this be done?

Answer 1

There's a UDF (User Defined Functions -include file) called FF.au3. Looks like the function you want is _FFTabSetSelected(), good luck!

Below is an example of Jeanne Pindar's method. This is the way I would do it.

#include 

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

activateTab("Gmail")
Func activateTab($targetWindowKeyphrase)
    WinActivate("- Mozilla Firefox")
    For $i = 0 To 100
        If StringInStr(WinGetTitle(WinActive("")),$targetWindowKeyphrase) Then
            MsgBox(0,"Found It", "The tab with the key phrase " & $targetWindowKeyphrase & " is now active.")
            Return
        EndIf
        Send("^{TAB}")
        Sleep(200)
    Next
EndFunc
