Automate an unmodified remote browser

Question

I would like to do automated testing on a remote firefox browser. I can't install any software on the machine with the browser installed on it. I can't run any console line application, it is in a 'sandbox'. I can however add any javascript to the pages we are testing.

Would the JasonWireProtocol help with this? https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/JsonWireProtocol

Any other ideas would be appreciated...

Thanks

Depending what u need to test, I would just write the tests in JS, sent the result via AJAX to the server and reload the page.

If u need a live communication, WebSockets or a LongPolling can help u, but its nothing special!
