Yes there is a way to do it from Firefox and JavaScript. The problem
is that you'll have to do it through XUL and access the functionality
through an XPCOM component AFAIK. I'm not certain if there is one
already made though, so this is probably going to require jumping
through a few hoops to get it working.

Post-HTML 5 is possibly going to contain a <device> tag and API which
could accomplish this:

I'm not sure I understand the grammar of your question. Can you
rephrase it?

I found this in a search. It seems to be for Java, but might help:

and this (seems like WScript)

Maybe this?

Amazing what tasty bones www.dogpile.com can dig up.
