I'll also think about adding a new command line argument to pass name/value pairs to the Spider. I’ll look into why the resizing is occurring and see what I can do.

That fixes the resizing issue. The drawback with this method is that I could not find a way to pass any parameter to the user hook function. With the chrome application, I could pass parameters as querystring via open.xul. Thanks. That fixes the resizing issue.

If you don't pass any parameter, this does not happen. For example, if you issue the command (the example you have provided in your help page) firefox -P test -chrome "chrome://spider/content/spider.xul?url%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fbclary.com%252F%26domain%3Dbclary.com%26depth%3D2%26timeout%3D120%26waittime%3D5%26autostart%3Don%26restrict%3Don" you can see the window resizes itself. If you just call "firefox -P test -chrome chrome://spider/content/open.xul" no resizing occurs. When used in automated environments, this resizing causes problems (Some web pages with new rich media content, for example, don't load properly when the window size is smaller). Is there a remedy for this? Thanks Mohamed When I invoke the spider from the command line in chrome mode passing parameters, the window resizes itself to a smaller dimension. If you don’t pass any parameter, this does not happen.

For example, if you issue the command (the example you have provided in your help page)
firefox -P test -chrome “chrome://spider/content/spider.xul?url%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fbclary.com%252F%26domain%3Dbclary.com%26depth%3D2%26timeout%3D120%26waittime%3D5%26autostart%3Don%26restrict%3Don”

you can see the window resizes itself. If you just call “firefox -P test -chrome chrome://spider/content/open.xul” no resizing occurs.

When used in automated environments, this resizing causes problems (Some web pages with new rich media content, for example, don’t load properly when the window size is smaller).

Is there a remedy for this?
