About Zombie Navigator

Thank you for installing Zombie Navigator!

What is this?

This addon is for automating Firefox with a ECMAScript file. The script is called a "Zombie script" and executed securely inside a sandbox so that it cannot interfare with other activities. A Zombie script uses the Zombie API (ZAPI) to control the browser.

Usage

All the graphical controls are in Preferences. You can run a script from a button there.

Command line

Set an environment variable named ZOMBIE_NAVIGATOR_SCRIPT_PATH pointing to the absolute path of the Zombie script you want to run. Or set ZOMBIE_NAVIGATOR_SCRIPT_PATH=<demo_ID> to see demos.

If it cannot find such a variable, this addon does not do anything.

Setting ZOMBIE_NAVIGATOR_VERBOSE to an nonempty value will produce verbose console output.

Zombie API

API documentation (Work in progress). See demo scripts to know how to use the API.
