CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Automating repetitive Firefox tasks is one way to save your fingers from undue stress. From a sidebar you can toggle on and off, you can run, record, and edit macros. Recording is as simple as pressing a button before starting and clicking another to stop. For more advanced tasks you can turn to a set of intimidating demos, but frankly, we found the Web site wiki and step-by-step tutorials far easier to follow.
While iMacros can theoretically be used to input passwords, we strongly recommend encrypting them and either saving your master password to Firefox or inputting it each time. Being able to save macros as bookmarks and being able to share them via e-mail and Delicious are great features, though we wish we could schedule the macros, including running one or to just after booting Firefox. We also wish we could run macros in the background while we worked on other browser tabs. It's a modest request, but without it, just plan to take a break whenever a lengthier macro runs.
Publisher's description
From iMacros WebSite Testing and Web Scraping :If you love the Firefox Web browser, but are tired of repetitive tasks like visiting the same sites every days, filling out forms, and remembering passwords, then iMacros for Firefox is the solution you've been dreaming of.
iMacros was designed to automate the most repetitious tasks on the Web. If there's an activity you have to do repeatedly, just record it in iMacros. The next time you need to do it, the macro will run at the click of a button. Version 6.0.7.5 supports Firefox 3.1 Alpha 2, bug fixes and enhancements.

Version: iMacros for Firefox 6.0.7.5
"You might want to check out the Selenium IDE tool"
Pros: not finished reviewing it yet, but flash, silverlight and java interaction and testing would be an awesome thing to have, and being able to run it in IE and firefox is a big deal too
Cons: It would be nice if they had a more affordable consumer version
Summary: If your tasks are more involved, and you want to be alerted if there is something missing or not correct about a page before it proceeds to the next step, you may want to look into the free firefox plugin called Selenium IDE
