NAME

Firefox::Application::API40 - API wrapper for Firefox 4+

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
use Firefox::Application;
my $ff = Firefox::Application->new(
    # Force the Firefox 4 API
    api => 'Firefox::Application::API40',
);
            
          

METHODS

$api->updateitems( %args )

            

              
              
for my $item ($api->updateitems) {
    print sprintf "Name: %s\n", $item->{name};
    print sprintf "Version: %s\n", $item->{version};
    print sprintf "GUID: %s\n", $item->{id};
};
            
          

Returns the list of updateable items. Under Firefox 4, can be restricted by the type option.

• type - type of items to fetch

  ANY - fetch any item

  ADDON - fetch extensions

  LOCALE - fetch locales

  THEME - fetch themes

This method is asynchronous in Firefox 4, but is run synchronously by Firefox::Application, polling every 0.1s. Currently, no special support for AnyEvent is implemented.

$ff->addons( %args )

            

              
              
for my $addon ($ff->addons) {
    print sprintf "Name: %s\n", $addon->{name};
    print sprintf "Version: %s\n", $addon->{version};
    print sprintf "GUID: %s\n", $addon->{id};
};
            
          

Returns the list of installed addons as Addons. See <https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Addons/Add-on_Manager/Addon> depending.

$ff->addTab( %options )

            

              
              
my $new = $ff->addTab();
            
          

Creates a new tab and returns it. The tab will be automatically closed upon program exit.

The Firefox 4 API is asynchronous. The method is forced into a synchronous call here.

$ff->selectedTab( %options )

            

              
              
my $curr = $ff->selectedTab();
            
          

Sets the currently active tab.

$api->element_query( \@elements, \%attributes )

            

              
              
my $query = $element_query(['input', 'select', 'textarea'],
                           { name => 'foo' });
            
          

Returns the XPath query that searches for all elements with tagNames in @elements having the attributes %attributes. The @elements will form an or condition, while the attributes will form an and condition.
