Hello Everybody,

I need to open firefox using a command line and load an website using an installed add-on. I got to open firefox and load the website, using the following comand line:

The add-on that I'd like to run is the WEB SLIDE SHOW,. The link to download it is https://addons.mozilla.org/pt-br/firefox/addon/web-slide-show/

Finally, I got it!!! :-) The add-on that I'm using is Web Slide Show. Download link is: https://addons.mozilla.org/pt-br/firefox/addon/web-slide-show/

In touch with the add-on developer, I found that it should be used the following command line to call the add-on:

C:\Program Files (x86)>start firefox.exe http://www.uol.com.br?webslideshow-autostart

Sorry, add-ons can't be controlled via command line.
