How do I enter the start page from the "firefox.exe" command line?

more options

I want to write a script to use firefox to download information on a series of addresses on a street. For example: 101 State St, 102 State St, 103 State St, ... etc. The script will cycle through the addresses and streets on interest. Does firefox.exe accept command line parameters that define a specific web page, and data to be filled in to that page?

You can start Firefox to open a specific web page or a local file by appending the url to the command line, but you can't specify which data to display unless this data is present in the page source.

Thank you cor-el, that does answer my question and it did work. If I may post a follow up question: If the first command brings up a page with data to be selected, is there a way to move that data to a follow up script command to request it?

I'm not sure if I understand what you mean with this question

You can try to ask advice at the mozillaZine "Web Development/Standards Evangelism" forum.

The helpers at that forum are more knowledgeable about web development issues.
