I can't give you any perl or python to do this without knowing much
about the specifics, but I'd be highly surprised if you couldn't get
nicely working code from both of them (probably in several different
ways, knowing a little of both perl and python).

I suppose you could google around and see if anyone's written an
extension to make firefox behave like a download agent, but I think in
the end you'll be far better off if you work through the problems
you're having in perl or python. They're far more likely to provide
flexible solutions than trying to make firefox fit your needs, IMHO.
