Press Release Summary: Firefox Add-On for Auto-Form Filling, Web Scraping, Scripting
and Web Testing

Press Release Body: Heidelberg, Germany, October 29, 2007 - As the Internet
continues to grow in popularity, many people are becoming increasingly disenchanted
with the repetitive, menial tasks involved in their daily Web activities. Posting
feedback on eBay buyers, checking website visitor statistics, and downloading
account information are now tedious and time-consuming daily chores. Fortunately,
iOpus has announced a new product, iMacros for Firefox, which fully automates these
tasks and more.

iMacros for Firefox was designed to automate online activities within the Firefox
web browser. With iMacros, users can create macros to automatically check the same
sites every day, remember passwords, complete web forms, and upload or download
files, among other activities. As the company states in its tagline, \"Whatever you
do with Firefox, iMacros can automate it.\"

Internet users have come up with a surprising number of applications for iMacros.
Some notable examples include stockbrokers who create macros to extract online stock
quotes, shoppers who use them to automatically compare prices at online stores, and
website owners who use them to get daily downloads of their page rankings.

Mozilla, the software company behind Firefox, collects and categorizes Firefox
add-ons. The iMacros add-on is growing rapidly in popularity and is already among
the ten most downloaded extensions in the \"Bookmark,\" \"Feeds, News & Blogging,\" and
\"Privacy and Security\" categories on the Mozilla site.

iMacros for Firefox pioneers a feature known as social scripting. It allows users to
share macros and scripts in a way that is similar to how they share bookmarks on the
many social bookmarking websites. After creating a new macro, users can make just
one click to share it with their friends as a link, either by distributing the link
via email and social bookmarking websites or by embedding it in a website or blog
for public access.

Users have begun sharing their new macros enthusiastically across the web. In fact,
script sharing is now so popular that iOpus has even created a special site for
script-sharing on del.icio.us. Any iMacros user who has created a script that may be
useful to others is invited to tag it as \"for:imacros.\" iOpus staff members then
review the submissions and post the best ones for the entire community to enjoy.

The wide variety of user-submitted scripts and the creativity underlying their
diverse functions serve as inspiration for iOpus software designers, who strive for
constant innovation as they improve the iMacros software product over time.

The iMacros for Firefox software is free for personal and commercial use. Users may
opt to upgrade to the business version with guaranteed response times and advanced
features. Additional information and the software download link are available online
at http://www.iopus.com/imacros/firefox . Alternatively, the software may be
downloaded directly from the official Mozilla site for extensions at
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3863 .
