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

lr_environment

LR_ENVIRONMENT.IN(1)					  LogReport's Lire Documentation				      LR_ENVIRONMENT.IN(1)

NAME

       lr_environment - Export Lire configuration in shell script form

SYNOPSIS

       eval `lr_environment`

DESCRIPTION

       The lr_environment command is used to import the Lire configuration in Lire shell scripts.

       All of Lire configuration variables will be written in a format that can be evaled by the shell.

       Shell scripts don't usually have to use that command, since it is done by the defaults file sourced by each command.

       The old names used by when the configuration was done in shell script are also exported by this script for backward compatibility.
