firefox imacros scheduled task

here is how to schedule firefox for running imacros on schedule:
  1. Open Windows' Task Scheduler program and create a new basic task.
  2. For the trigger, set it daily at a certain time of your choosing.
  3. For the Action, use "Start a program", browse for your firefox.exe file (example: "C:Program Files (x86)Mozilla Firefoxfirefox.exe") and then in the "Add arguments" box, enter "imacros://run/?m=test.js".  Replace "test.js" with whatever name you used for your iMacros script. 
  4. When you're done, have your task selected and click "Run" in the right sidebar.  It will run immediately and then repeat daily at your selected time.
