Automate Mozilla Firefox

want to take a text file (which has a list of urls) and have my script go
through them 1 by one using Firefox.
So for instance, if the first two urls in my list were:
www.google.com
www.amazon.com
I would want to spawn firefox and load www.google.com. Once google loads, I
would like to kill Firefox and restart it, this time with
www.amazon.com loaded.
I am basically running a stress test on a browser based product.
I have been able to do this in IE with no problems (Calling IE's COM
object).I also have used the PAMIE module without a problem in IE. The
problem is Firefox uses XPCOM and I have never worked with XPCOM, and thus
havent worked with PyXPCOM before. Any insight will help.
FYI: I did try writing a script which loads firefox from the command line
and navigates to a site, but once I try to kill Firefox and move to the next
url nothing happens:
import os
import time
file = open("C:\urls.txt")
for x in file:
firefox = "C:\progra~1\mozill~1\firefox.exe "
firefox = firefox + x
os.system(firefox)
time.sleep(10)
taskkill = "taskkill /f /im firefox.exe"
os.system(taskkill)
file.close ()
