BTW, Fetch Softworks bug 96277 depends, in part, on this bug (FWIW, related Safari bug is rdar://4983733)

With Firefox 2 I was able to get the URL of the frontmost tab using:
get <<class curl>> of window 1
using the class code because there's no entry for that property in the scripting dictionary. However, in 3.0b4 even this does not work on many of my customers' Macs.
FYI, the doc for making apps AppleScript-able is at
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ScriptableCocoaApplications/SApps_intro/chapter_1_section_1.html

get <<class curl>> of window 1 does _not_ work if the user is running Default Folder X on their system.
I have contacted the makers of DFX to find out what they are doing in their process that could cause some problems but haven't heard back.

Just to update, there is definitely a bug in FireFox which is blocking this AppleScript in certain situations, I can't quite reproduce those situations at the moment. All I know is it is currently crippling some functionality in my app.
Is there any alternative to using Applescript in FireFox?
