If you're saying that it takes firefox 5 seconds to load before you can run your iMacros script; why not start firefox, sleep 5 seconds, and then launch your iMacros script instead of starting the script twice when you know the first one will fail and maybe leave firefox in an "unknown" state.
I could do that, it would be the same thing though.

The error messages you're getting are from line 12 in some script that isn't identifying itself. Since there are only 9 lines in the shell script you're showing us, this script isn't producing the error. Could the error message be coming from the iMacros script that is failing to start properly?
Oh sorry, the script is actually 12 lines, I had 3 lines for comments and I just removed them when I posted it here.

Rather than killing firefox, it would be much better to debug your iMacros script to stop leaking memory.
The problem is Flash, as my script macros a Flash website, and therefore it must restart once in a while. I've coded a simple batch file on Windows that does this, however I want to do the same on Debian.

What do you see if you run the command:
Code:
'/usr/lib64/iceweasel/iceweasel imacros://run/?m=macro.iim'

at a time when firefox is not running?

What do you see if you run the same command when firefox is running?

What does your iMacros script look like?
Firefox opens, but my script doesn't. Which is why I need to run the command twice, as explained here: wiki.imacros.net/iMacros_for_Firefox#Command_Line_Support

Thanks

platform::shell

platform::shell(n)					       Tcl Bundled Packages						platform::shell(n)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       platform::shell - System identification support code and utilities

SYNOPSIS

       package require platform::shell ?1.1.4?

       platform::shell::generic shell
       platform::shell::identify shell
       platform::shell::platform shell
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       The platform::shell package provides several utility commands useful for the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell.

       This  package  allows the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell different from the shell running the package. The only
       requirement is that the other shell (identified by its path), is actually executable on the current machine.

       While for most platform this means that the architecture of the interrogated shell is identical to the architecture of  the  running  shell
       this  is  not generally true. A counter example are all platforms which have 32 and 64 bit variants and where a 64bit system is able to run
       32bit code. For these running and interrogated shell may have different 32/64 bit settings and thus different identifiers.

       For applications like a code repository it is important to identify the architecture of the shell which will  actually  run  the  installed
       packages, versus the architecture of the shell running the repository software.

COMMANDS

       platform::shell::identify shell
	      This command does the same identification as platform::identify, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.

       platform::shell::generic shell
	      This command does the same identification as platform::generic, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.

       platform::shell::platform shell
	      This command returns the contents of tcl_platform(platform) for the specified Tcl shell.
