I have a question:
My program will search FireFox windows opened by user. When a user open Firefox and enter any site, I want to search for a keyword in that page’s HTML content.
How can I access Firefox’s Active Tab’s DOM (or HTML content) from outside firefox using my C++ program.
Is it possible? If so, can you give me some idea or links?
If it is not possible, how can I copy text to clipboard within Firefox without installing / setting up anything?
Best regards,
Nuri Akman
There is no built-in way to access the DOM of a web page inside Firefox from an external program. You can write an extension that implements some sort of IPC (using sockets or whatever) and communicate with that, but not built-in to Firefox.
