+:mod:`mozprofile` --- Create and modify Mozilla application profiles
+====================================================================
+
+Mozprofile_ is a python tool for creating and managing profiles for Mozilla's
+applications (Firefox, Thunderbird, etc.). In addition to creating profiles,
+mozprofile can install addons_ and set preferences_ Mozprofile can be utilized
+from the command line or as an API.
+
+The preferred way of setting up profile data (addons, permissions, preferences
+etc) is by passing them to the profile_ constructor.
+
+Addons
+------
+
+.. automodule:: mozprofile.addons
+   :members:
+
+Addons may be installed individually or from a manifest.
+
+Example::
+
+	from mozprofile import FirefoxProfile
+	
+	# create new profile to pass to mozmill/mozrunner
+	profile = FirefoxProfile(addons=["adblock.xpi"])
+
+Command Line Interface
+----------------------
+
+.. automodule:: mozprofile.cli
+   :members:
+
+The profile to be operated on may be specified with the ``--profile``
+switch. If a profile is not specified, one will be created in a
+temporary directory which will be echoed to the terminal::
+
+    (mozmill)> mozprofile
+    /tmp/tmp4q1iEU.mozrunner
+    (mozmill)> ls /tmp/tmp4q1iEU.mozrunner
+    user.js
+
+To run mozprofile from the command line enter:
+``mozprofile --help`` for a list of options.
+
+Permissions
+-----------
+
+.. automodule:: mozprofile.permissions
+   :members:
+
+You can set permissions by creating a ``ServerLocations`` object that you pass
+to the ``Profile`` constructor. Hosts can be added to it with
+``add_host(host, port)``. ``port`` can be 0.
+
+Preferences
+-----------
+
+.. automodule:: mozprofile.prefs
+   :members:
+
+Preferences can be set in several ways:
+
+- using the API: You can make a dictionary with the preferences and pass it to
+  the ``Profile`` constructor. You can also add more preferences with the
+  ``Profile.set_preferences`` method.
+- using a JSON blob file: ``mozprofile --preferences myprefs.json``
+- using a ``.ini`` file: ``mozprofile --preferences myprefs.ini``
+- via the command line: ``mozprofile --pref key:value --pref key:value [...]``
+
+When setting preferences from  an ``.ini`` file or the ``--pref`` switch,
+the value will be interpolated as an integer or a boolean
+(``true``/``false``) if possible.
+
+Profile
+--------------------
+
+.. automodule:: mozprofile.profile
+   :members:
+
+Resources
+-----------
+Other Mozilla programs offer additional and overlapping functionality
+for profiles.  There is also substantive documentation on profiles and
+their management.
+
+- ProfileManager_: XULRunner application for managing profiles. Has a GUI and CLI.
+- python-profilemanager_: python CLI interface similar to ProfileManager
+- profile documentation_
