Mozilla does not respond to a request for the 'curl' property of the first 'cwin'. Older versions of Netscape Navigator respond by returning the current URL of the top-most window.
Adding RFE and Helpwanted keyword. Any takers?

I've tried several variations but can't find one that returns the URL or Title from Firefox.

Can someone contribute a step by step instruction showing the problem in Seamonkey and showing that the problem does not exist in other Browsers? 15 Years UNCONFIRMED are a very long time ...
For what it's worth this script works tell application "Safari" to set foo to (URL of current tab of front window) return foo whereas this one tell application "Firefox" to set foo to (name of front window) return foo "46407 – The current URL cannot be querried by another app" So in the intervening 15 years 1. tabbed browsing now exists 2. the idea that a window has a URL property seems to have gone away 3. the original program is not longer valid, now one has to write a program which is tab aware 4. Someone seems to have blocked access to the URL (which is bizarrely bound to the name) in Firefox, I would guess as a security measure Where that leaves you I don't know. One could file a bug asking for Firefox to support tabs and uris similar to Firefox. But the original program report is very invalid at this point.
Attached file testcase applescript (deleted) —
The word "tab" is not defined in Firefox, so any script attempting to use a tab won't even compile. I had to comment that line out. Safari successfully returns name, tab & document. Chrome successfully returns title & tab. Firefox only returns name.
