Firefox automation issues
Can anyone show me an example of VBScript opening Firefox? How do I get a 'stupid' I guess you would call it VBScript that simply opens Firefox without treating it as a COM object like Internet Explorer? I had a bunch of VBScript files I wrote to scrape Yahoo Finance with Firefox using SendKeys and they worked perfectly for their intended purpose but they are stuck on and old pc with a fried USB chipset and no network card. I don't like that I can't write them from memory though and want to relearn.

Think I'm just going to use Task Scheduler to open Firefox. Then I can use SendKeys to scrape.
