Is this possible at all? MozREPL is now apparently incompatible with this version of Firefox, but Firefox is very hard to stop updating.

I want to automate a browser again, not a headless one.

Is there any browser I can use at all, where i can just simply read the page HTML and automate form submission?

That's it really, last time I done this, Firefox was good for this.

Thanks

If you are on linux, you can downgrade to 54, and hold the update. Firefox will complain about not being able to update, but that's it. Other possible solution should be a container with firefox 54 installed, but I did not have the time to try it out. The script(s) should be run inside the docker, I suppose.

  • thanks for your reply... i finally achieved my objective in one of two ways (but you can't close questions on this website?) Anyway i found you could disable the net, and set firefox not to update, but safer really I decided to use: Firefox 52.3.0esr Also, TOR is (coincident i think not), based on Firefox 52.3.0 No, it's all singing and dancing now.... thanks for your attention – Richard Sep 01 '17 at 15:32
