[solved] screen scraping with firefox - best practices?

[gin]

For now, I'm not trying to get text.

I'm trying to to navigate a site to get certain links that follow a pattern eg latest posts.

I've been doing it by finding a keyword, then context menu, then a (for copy link), then paste into notepad, then f3 to find next match, but it doesn't work in many cases because the position of what the keyword and the link are in different places (this is why I asked about getting caret/mouse position earlier)

Ideally, I'd use regex to grab certain urls.

I'm unsure if there's an easier way so I'm asking now

Thank you.
