Is there a Firefox plugin I can use to help automate multiple searches?

i.e. I have a list of keyword combinations and I want to automatically paste each combination into a form like below and open each search in a new tab
http://scholar.google.com/advanced_scholar_search

The actual website I’m using is ISI Web of Science. It has a similar form to Google Scholar, except the form uses POST. Originally I thought about about making a Python script that downloads all search result pages, but POST + paywall authentication makes it complicated to do outside of browser

    IMacros, started for a clean browser profile – from your program, that also should generate a script (page number, # of blocks to extract). + AutoIT for harsh Flash cases.

    There are also Selenium, Greasemonkey, capturing HTTP(s) traffic, anything else?
