The easiest solution I found was to use iOpus iMacros for Mozilla Firefox.
Then use Windows Task Scheduler to automate the process. So, the steps are:
1. Record the automation sequence with iMacros on Firefox and save it as "MyiMacrosScript.iim".

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" http://run.imacros.net/?m=MyiMacrosScript.iim
TIMEOUT /t 60
taskkill /IM firefox.exe
REM TIMEOUT /t 20
REM taskkill /f /IM firefox.exe
EXIT
3. Setup Task Scheduler. Very important to run Task Scheduler as administrator. Press "Start" -> then right click "Task Scheduler" and choose “Run as administrator” -> then create new task. Set "Triggers" to suit your needs and then set "Actions" to "start a program" and refer to newly created batch file "MyScript.bat". For now, it seems it only works for me if I choose to "Run only when user is logged on" and with "Run with highest privileges" unchecked.
4. Do not forget to set the Firefox to confirmation-less action. In my case I make sure that:
- Silent access for .iim script is allowed
- Silent exit for multiple open tabs is allowed.
Thanks all, enjoy.
I also tried to setup up automation task to trigger upon activation of screensaver:
