Is there way to automate what you do in Firefox and with its add-ons via a command line? I need to do this because I want the result that I usually get from within Firefox to be automated from another program. I what I am trying to do is get offline static archive pages saved like I do with the add-on Scrapbook or MAFF or MHTML from the command line. The command line makes it available because it can be automated (the command line that is) from the program I am using (in this case FileMaker). I welcome any other suggestions or help. Thanks

I don't know, but

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for what you want.
