You can use the following if using Perl

Selenium::Remote::Driver->new (
    'browser_name'       => $browser, 
    'remote_server_addr' => $host,
    'port'               => $port,
    'accept_ssl_certs'   => 1,
    'handlesAlerts'      => 1,
    'takesScreenshot'    => 0,
    'javascript'         => 1,
    'proxy'              => $proxy,
    'extra_capabilities' => $extra_capabilities,
);

No directly no.

You'd have to install the IDE and Firefox on the machine you are RDP'ing into.

After all, the IDE is tied into Firefox (it's a Firefox plugin), so you'd have to have it on whatever machine you are connecting to.

I would therefore suggest you look into WebDriver. It will give more flexibility over this kind of stuff.
