This is likely a dumb (ignorant) question, but, is it possible to have IE::Mechanize use Firefox, in lieu of Internet Explorer? I had trouble with the 'original' Mechanize ('the Mech'), but I've been able to get the IE variant to work. However, a website I'd been depending on has suddenly changed its behavior when I try to obtain data from in using IE:Mechanize - where I used to be able to view data after filling out a form, I am now forced to enter an email and then.. wait for an email with the data. Not conducive to the automation I need. But I see that the site runs the same as it did before on Firefox; in that I don't need an email entered, and it still displays data for me on the web, as it used to do in IE. If I could manage to get IE:Mechanize to run on Firefox, I think my problem would be solved. Is that possible?
