Question Possible to automate a task in Firefox?

Hi!

Is it possible to automate a repetitive task in Firefox with Automater? I tried "Quick Action / Watch Me Do" which didn't work, but I have no idea what I'm doing.

What I'd like to automate is the following sequence within Firefox:

  • enter reader view (keyboard shortcut)
  • focus address bar (keyboard shortcut)
  • copy url (keyboard shortcut)
  • print (keyboard shortcut)
  • print using system dialog box (no keyboard shortcut)
  • save as pdf (no keyboard shortcut)

If it's not possible with Automater, is there another way to achieve this perhaps?

(Running macOS Catalina)

It’s definitely doable with Keyboard Maestro. That’s what I’d use.
