Need a Firefox script to loop through a set of web pages

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone had come across a script for this purpose?

I need to power on a PC of mine, have it automatically start Firefox on startup (easy so far) then load a "loop" of predefined internal web pages that it keeps up on-screen for, say 5 seconds each webpage (5 pages in total that it would flick through)

Is it also possible to script or force Firefox to open in Full screen mode?

Thanks in advance,

Chris

Sounds more like you want a slide show, the only difference is if any of those web pages change. Quick check of addons: slide show seconds

Tab Slideshow (13.3 KB) :: Add-ons for Firefox -- Cycles through tabs as a slideshow. A minimalist extension that offers a configurable time to automatically switch to and display the next tab (and wrap around from the last to the first tab). The slideshow can be customized to auto-refresh tabs, as well as go into slideshow immediately when you open the browser. Extension offers a configurable time to automatically switch to and display the next tab (and wrap around from the last to the first tab).

Quick HOW TO: To start and stop the slideshow, find the "Start Tab Slideshow" menu item under the "Tools" menu (or with Firefox 4 on recent Windows versions, the orange Firefox app button). To change delay and refresh settings, go to the Add-ons Manager, find the extension in the list, and click the Options button (or "Preferences" on a Mac).

When in full screen, you can start/pause the slideshow by pressing ALT+T, and then T. (ALT+T: Open "Tools" menu; T: Start Tab Slideshow) https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tab-slideshow/
