if firefox is the default browser, I guess just
start "" "https://your.url.here.foo"
, as per https://superuser.com/a/36730otherwise, I guess you could just cd to firefox's directory and do the same
firefox.exe urlhere
as for specific window... yea that might be tad hard. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/CommandLineOptions doesn't seem to have any way to indicate any specific instance/window from cli.
could be firefox handles those internally, kinda seems like urls open up in the window which was last active. So.. I guess you could start the script by starting firefox with
--new-instance
or--new-window
, and patiently wait until urls are open? I guess.Maybe it's time I learn to use violent monkey
