No, I just copied the form from the iMacros wiki. Then I realized a lot of people on this list might not recognize iMacros so I changed it to Yahoo. The form you suggest doesn't hang. I still don't understand why the other one does.
Firefox doesn't support Applescript but I discovered that
tell application "Firefox" to open location "http://www.yahoo.com";
works so I can skip the shell script or (ugh!) GUI scripts.
Curiously
tell application "Firefox" to open url "http://www.yahoo.com";
used to work but it doesn't any longer.
I am writing an Applescript to run an iMacros script directly:
tell application "Firefox" to open location "imacros://run/?m=Name.iim"
That's how I stumbled across it.
