I use applescript to automatic some daily tasks. Currently, I am needing to use Chrome or Safari on my mac because the scripts do not work on Firefox. Could applescript support be added to Firefox?

tell application "Firefox" activate if windows is {} then reopen

repeat 5 times tell front window set newTab to make new tab set the URL of newTab to "https://samplelink.com" set the current tab to newTab delay 0.5 end tell end repeat

delay 5 close (every tab of window 1 whose URL contains "https://samplelink.com") end tell

Thanks.
