Since you want to control an already running Firefox instance, then your 
only choice is to create an extension that allows communication with 
your Java app.  There are many ways to go about this, but if you decide 
to use Java in the Firefox extension, you'll have to use Liveconnect for 
now (http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Java_in_Firefox_Extensions).
