    Question Get current URL from Firefox and/or IE

    Hello,

    I have an app. that downloads a file from the web with no problems, but I was wondering if it's possible to get the current URL from Firefox and/or IE, so that the user just has to click 'ok'.

    Thanks in advance .

    You could monitor the clipboard and have them copy it, so your program would kick in (kinda like vdownloader does)

    When someone makes a suggestion, look first and ask questions later. There's a whole WWW out there.

    Yeah, my bad, it was an impulse. I'll come back with questions in a very long while. Thanks.
