It is possible to get the url from a running instance of Firefox, but
it's also a bit of a hack...

You need to use sendkeys.

EG:
       Dim FFURL as string = string.empty
       sendkeys.sendwait("%l") ''//that's a lowercase L
       sendkeys.sendwait("%c")
       if my.computer.clipboard.containstext then
          FFURL = my.computer.clipboard.gettext
      end if

     Also, you'll need to be sure that firefox is the frontmost window
for this to work..
    Like I said, it's a bit of a hack and unfortunately the only way I
know of to get the url.
    Hope it helps you out or leads you in a better direction.
