Recently I updated to the Snow Leopard, but I decided for a clean install (of course, again the last one).

It is probably every developer’s dream to create a programming language. It is a complex and difficult task, so it will remain just an unfulfilled dream for many.

One of the ways how to remotely control Firefox is to use the JSSh (JavaScript Shell) plug-in. To successfully install the plug-in, it is necessary to find a suitable version for your Firefox version (1.x, 2.x, 3.x) and platform (Linux, Mac, Win). That is sometimes not so trivial…

Additionally there is a limitation in the plug-in: its communication port number cannot be (easily) changed, so it is not possible to start more JSSh (and Firefox) instances.

First, the actual status is described, later a new version of the JSSh plug-in is provided with examples.
