Re: [orca-list] Want to get the URL from Firefox.

[Scott Haeger <scott bashautomation com>]

The best way to get the URL is via Document interface by retrieving the 
object attribute 'DocURL' on the document frame.  The following is the 
method used in Orca:

def getDocumentFrameURI(self):
       """Returns the URI of the document frame that is active.""" 
       documentFrame = self.getDocumentFrame()
       if documentFrame:
           attrs = documentFrame.queryDocument().getAttributes()
           for attr in attrs:
               if attr.startswith('DocURL'):
                   return attr[7:]
       return None

Hope this helps.
