Starting the REPL
Posted October 19th, 2007 by bard
MozRepl documentation has moved. Go to the new home »
Go to Firefox Tools menu and select MozLab → Start MozRepl. MozRepl is now listening for connections on the default port 4242.
Open the command shell of your operating system and type:
telnet localhost 4242
You'll be presented with the prompt:
repl>
You're in!
Bagaimana caranya supaya firefox di instal di hp nokia N71,
You're greatly overestimating my language skills. :-)
I followed your instructions (well almost, I used netcat) and noticed a typo.
$ nc localhost 4242
Current input mode is: syntax
If you get stuck at the "...>" prompt, enter a colon (;) at the beginning of the line to force evaluation.
That should be 'semicolon' I believe.
Fixed, thanks. :-)
For Vista users who find telnet doesn't work by default from the command prompt
1. Start > Control Panel
2. Programs and Features
3. Click "Turn Windows features on or off" on left.
4. Scroll down and check "Telnet Client"
(From http://briandesmond.com/blog/enabling-the-telnet-client-on-windows-vista... )
Well, for whatever reason when I telnet in Vista, execution takes place as soon as I type a single letter (without even hitting return)...
Hi,
tryin' to use MozRep from thunderbird but the only response i get after starting and connecting
(tried putty, telnet,...) is:
Trying to load a non-local URI.
Any ideas?
Cordially,
Axel

It's because Microsoft telnet defaults to sending every character instead of full lines. See this troubleshooting page for solutions, but the bottom line is that it's better to switch to something other than Microsoft telnet.
@axel: what versions of Thunderbird and MozRepl are you running?
Please also try with the stand-alone MozRepl, see http://github.com/bard/mozrepl/wikis/home.
I tried what you said, but can't get it working on Vista. any other suggestions?
