Following macro can be used to call Profile Manager in FireBird or ThunderBird
Macroname : Profile Manager
Script:

var ww = Components.classes['@mozilla.org/embedcomp/window-watcher;1']
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIWindowWatcher);
var params = Components.classes['@mozilla.org/embedcomp/dialogparam;1']
.createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIDialogParamBlock);
params.SetNumberStrings(1);
params.SetString(0, "menu");
ww.openWindow(null,
"chrome://communicator/content/profile/profileSelection.xul",
null, "centerscreen,chrome,modal,titlebar", params);

// Mark All Links As Visited (MALAV) macro for Mozilla
// By Jesse Ruderman (April 2003, July 2003)

// On sites that give you random links, this macro works
// great with the "hide visited" bookmarklet.

function markLinksAsVisited(page)
{
var histClass = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/browser/global-history;1"];
var browserHistory = histClass.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIBrowserHistory);
var globalHistory = histClass.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIGlobalHistory);

var URI = Components.classes['@mozilla.org/network/standard-url;1'].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIURI);

// We're about to dig into an untrusted document. But we have chrome privs!
// To be safer, we'll use String() and Number() whenever possible.
// The greatest danger is running a member function (could be replaced with eval)
// or manipulating a chrome object the page somehow had a reference to.

var allLinks = page.links; // worst case: page gives us window.frames?
var numLinks = Number(allLinks.length);

for (var i = 0; i < numLinks; ++i)
{
var L = allLinks[i]; // worst case: page gives us window.location, where setting href moves.
var u = String(L.href);

URI.spec = u;
isSafe = URI.schemeIs("http") || URI.schemeIs("https");

if (isSafe)
{
canonicalized = URI.spec;
if (! browserHistory.isVisited(canonicalized))
{
globalHistory.addPage(canonicalized);
browserHistory.setPageTitle(canonicalized, "MALAV " + canonicalized);

// Update the link's visitedness.
// Use getAttribute to keep relative links relative (compare bug 187195)
var temp = L.getAttribute("href"); // worst case: L.getAttribute==eval.
L.href = "";
L.href = temp;
}
}
}
}

markLinksAsVisited(document.getElementById("content").contentDocument);

// Go offline in Firebird - like in IE.

Components.classes['@mozilla.org/network/io-service;1'].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIIOService).offline=true

//You can also have another macro to come back online.

In the macro javascript "window" will give the "ChromeWindow" object, which is the firebird/Mozilla browser app window and "document" will give XULDocument object of the browser app. To access the currently viewing HTML document window we should use either "window._content" or currently focused frame window by "document.commandDispatcher.focusedWindow".
And the HTML document can be accessed by "window._content.document" or currently focused frame HTML document by "document.commandDispatcher.focusedWindow.document". Once you get HTML window or document objects other objects can be easly accessed in the same way we do in normal javascript.

Following Macro is the demo of how to access objects of current HTML page.

  function getBrowserWin(){   return window._content;  }    function getFocusedFrameWin(){   return document.commandDispatcher.focusedWindow  }      function getBrowserDoc(){   return window._content.document;  }    function getFocusedFrameDoc(){   return document.commandDispatcher.focusedWindow.document;  }    function getWinInfo(win){   var a=[];   a.push('Location : ' + win.location);    a.push('Name : ' + win.name);      var doc=win.document;   if(doc) {     a.push('Title : ' + doc.title );      a.push('Referrer : ' + doc.referrer);      a.push('LastModified : ' + doc.lastModified);      a.push('Cookies: ' +( doc.cookie?'\n=> '+doc.cookie.split(';').join('\n=> '):'none'));     a.push('Links: ' + (doc.links.length?doc.links.length:'none'));     a.push('Forms: ' + (doc.forms.length?doc.forms.length:'none'));     a.push('Images: ' + (doc.images.length?doc.images.length:'none'));   }   a.push('Status : ' + win.status);    a.push('Sub Frames : ' + (win.frames.length?win.frames.length:'none'));   return a.join('\n');   }    var mainwin = getBrowserWin();  var s;  s=getWinInfo(mainwin);  alert('WINDOW INFO\n\n'+s);  var framewin = getFocusedFrameWin();  if(framewin && (framewin != mainwin)){      s=getWinInfo(framewin);      alert('CURRENT FRAME INFO\n\n'+s);  }

I am searching for a Mozilla MacroRecorder that allows to record user actions on a website - so that they can be played back as a unit-test.

Can someone know up a macro to insert the following either, in the headers or as the first line of every new news post:
X-No-Archive: Yes

This'll be a nice stop gap until 0.3 comes out, which is supposed to contain a method for including this in the header.

Thanks
