I want firefox to automatically open some websites and download the content in the links (whose name is known), each time I open firefox. I don't know how to edit the firefox build, but I think using a firefox build has a steep learning curve. Is there any shorter way like writing some common script or something like that to do this task?

In Ubuntu, scripts can be written in bash. Is there any such facility for firefox? I personally, don't like to use add-ons for such seemingly simple tasks unless it is mandatory.

OS: Ubuntu 13.04

It's easy to launch web pages in Firefox externally by adding the URL to the command line, and you can use user scripts (in a host extension such as Greasemonkey or Scriptish) to open links in a page.

However, to download files, you would need to find an extension. Ordinary scripts do not have the privileges needed to save files.

As a starting point, I suggest searching on the Add-ons site: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/

Sorry, but I don't want to use addons. I want to do it myself by some new script or something.
