Marionette

==========
|
||
|
||
Marionette is the remote protocol that lets out-of-process programs
|
||
communicate with, instrument, and control Gecko-based browsers.
|
||
|
||
It provides interfaces for interacting with both the internal
|
||
JavaScript runtime and UI elements of Gecko-based browsers, such
|
||
as Firefox and Fennec. It can control both the chrome- and content
|
||
documents, giving a high level of control and ability to replicate,
|
||
or emulate, user interaction.
|
||
|
||
Marionette can be activated by passing the `-marionette` flag. To
|
||
start Firefox with the remote protocol turned on::
|
||
|
||
% firefox -marionette
|
||
…

|
||
|
||
This binds to a TCP socket, over which clients can communicate with
|
||
Marionette using the `protocol`_.
