Some time ago I needed to get the URL of an Internet Explorer page, and the
tip by Justin at viewtopic.php?t=4478 worked
great. However, I am unable to adapt it to getting the URL of a Firefox page.

This seems to be a hard problem to solve, as the suggestion here doesn't work:

Does anyone have any ideas? Parsing the MozillaWindowClass and its child
windows (with EnumChildWindows) doesn't find any Edit or Combo classes.

The url field of firefox is no Edit control. firefox doesn't use the windows
controls, to be better portable. I don't know how to access that string then.

Just a comment,

I was pretty annoyed when my usually functional password(*****) retriever couldn't read a password I forgot in a Firefox password form...

But again, that *is* better security-wise

I see. I'll work something out. This isn't going to beat me.
