now...
i have firefox with many tabs.
i want to check if one of them tabs is named "the worst site ever".
if i allready have this tab - focus on it.
if i dont have this tab - open it in the same window.

possible? how?

AFAIK, not possible...
Firefox doesn't follow most Windows API rules, it draws its own portable interface, so automating it is hard.
Your best chance of doing this, if you always switch to the same sites, is to do an ImageSearch... on start of tab, as their size can change.

vPhiLho := RegExReplace("Philippe Lhoste", "^(\w{3})\w*\s+\b(\w{3})\w*$", "$1$2")

I forgot the site name was shown in the title bar...
That's clever! It does some flickering, but it does the job.
Beware, you can have two tabs with same title around the target tab...

actually it goes like this :


#g::
IfWinExist, Firefox
Winactivate, Firefox
Settitlematchmode, 3
WinGetActiveTitle, StartingTitle
loop
{
	ifWinExist the worst site ever - Mozilla Firefox
	{	
		Send {Browser_Refresh}
		return
	}
	else
		Send {Control down}{PgDn}{Control Up}

	sleep 50
	IfWinExist, %StartingTitle%
		MsgBox, 1, FireFox, the worst site ever on FireFox not exist.  open?
		IfMsgBox, Cancel
			break
		IfMsgBox, Ok
		{
			Run, firefox.exe "http://www.website.com", ,max
			break
		}
}
return
