@bovine3dom Can I, with Tridactyl or otherwise, execute arbitrary JavaScript on an opened, or after opening with a timeout, tab? I'm thinking something like firefox https://fabien.benetou.fr/ --js 'alert("hello world")'

@bovine3dom "the scary stuff is usually the coolest" well I don't know if it's "cool enough" but the intent behind the question is to control the autoscroll speed and more while in XR, e.g. https://video.benetou.fr/w/3PgyXTL17XHZJZ3tSEA3cR and doing it so outside of Firefox itself means being able to have widgets in the immersive WM (namely WayVR here)
Reading in VR : Mini Window + WayVR HMD follow + autoscroll
@bovine3dom my position here would be disabled by default but usable behind an option, this way power users can still benefit from it without putting others at risk.
@utopiah with Tridactyl - no. there's a branch for the extension and native messenger that enables it but I chickened out because it was a bit scary (not only could any process on the machine control Firefox, but anywhere you forwarded the port to). maybe i will work on it again some day because the scary stuff is usually the coolest.
with just Firefox you can use https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/WebDriver but they don't want you using it all the time. it makes the URL bar red etc.
