Often people need to perform the same actions in browsers in a certain order. iMacros for Firefox is an add-on that comes to the rescue in this case.
What is it for?
iMacros automates the execution of similar tasks in the browser by creating (writing) a script or code that includes a list of commands. Subsequently, the script can be reproduced in just two clicks through the add-on menu. This way, all your tasks will be completed without your participation. Moreover, the number of macros (records) is not limited. The program interface is in Russian, so there will be no problems in using it.
Download and install
How to install iMacros for Firefox? This can be done in the add-on store of the browser itself. Download iMacros from there. So that you don’t look for it there yourself, we provide a link: https://addons.mozilla.org/rU/firefox/addon/imacros-for-firefox/.
2.Click on the “Install” button in the small window after downloading the add-on.
3.You will be transferred to the developer’s website. There you will be greeted and thanked for the installation.
4.Restart your browser. This is a must if you want to get started with Imacros right now.
Write down the task
After installing the add-on, the question arises: how to use it? The interface is quite simple - there should be no difficulties in working with it. First, let's try to reproduce the task already available in the add-on.
- Click on the extension icon on the top bar of the browser. A small window will open - this is the program menu.
- Click on the Demo – Firefox folder. Click on the "Play" button, which is located below the list.
What needs to be done to script a specific task?
- Go to the “Record” section at the bottom of the extension menu.
- Click on the appropriate start button and perform the actions that the browser will then have to do for you. Actions should only be inside the browser.
- Click the “Stop” button when you complete the task. Then click on “Save as...”.
- The script will be automatically saved in the specified folder. You can open it immediately by clicking on the “Play” button. You can also rename the task to make it easier to find later.
The plugin is a convenient tool for filling out forms when making purchases in online stores. All you have to do is start the recording and fill out the form once - then the add-on will do it for you.
Everything is safe, since the scripts are saved only on your PC - there is no data transfer anywhere.
How to remove an extension?
IMacros is a common browser add-on. If you no longer want to use it, remove it from the list of extensions in the browser menu. How to remove an application from Mozilla?
- Go to the “Add-ons” menu. The “Extensions” tab will open immediately.
- Find the program in it and click on the “Delete” button.
You can disable it for a while. To do this, click on the corresponding button in the same tab.
What's in Settings?
To open them, click on the “Settings” button. Here you can set the task playback speed, password encryption, macro storage folder and some other things.
IMacros for Firefox does not need to be configured - immediately after installation, the application can record scripts and play them. By installing iMacros on Mozilla Firefox, you can create scripts to perform the same routine operations. So, you will save effort and time.
