The browser is an application composed of XPCOM components. With the 
help of XPConnect XPCOM components can be scripted with JavaScript. But 
that script needs to be part of the the application as far as I 
understand while you seem to be looking for a way to script the whole 
application from outside. I don't know whether this is possible, maybe 
someone else is able to give a definite answer on that.
