It does **not** +make sense to use Firefox Puppeteer if: + +* You are manipulating something other than Firefox (like Firefox OS) +* You are only manipulating elements in content scope (like a webpage) + +Roughly speaking, Firefox Puppeteer provides a library to manipulate each +visual section of Firefox's browser UI. For example, there are different +libraries for the tab bar, the navigation bar, etc. + +.. _Firefox Puppeteer: http://firefox-puppeteer.readthedocs.io/ +.. _Marionette Python client: http://marionette-client.readthedocs.org/ + +Installation +------------ + +For end-users Firefox Puppeteer can be easily installed as a `Python package`_ +from PyPI. If you want to contribute to the project we propose that you clone +the `mozilla-central`_ repository and run the following commands:: + +$ cd testing/puppeteer/firefox +$ python setup.py develop + +In both cases all necessary files including all dependencies will be installed. + +.. _Python package: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/firefox-puppeteer +.. _mozilla-central: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central + +Versioning +---------- + +Puppeteer versions as regularly released from the Python source code, will follow +a specific versioning schema. It means the major version number will always +be identical with the supported Firefox version. Minor releases - the second part +of the version number - are done throughout the life-cycle of a Firefox version +when Puppeteer itself needs API changes for back-end and front-end modules. The +last part of the version number is the patch level, and is only used for bugfix +releases without any API changes. + +Examples: + + firefox_puppeteer_45.0.0 - First release for Firefox 45.0 and Firefox 45.xESR + firefox_puppeteer_46.2.0 - Second release for Firefox 46.0 caused by API changes + firefox_puppeteer_47.0.1 - First bugfix release for the new Firefox 47.0 support + + +Libraries +--------- + +The following libraries are currently implemented. More will be added in the +future. Each library is available from an instance of the FirefoxTestCase class. + +.. toctree:: + + ui/about_window/window + ui/deck + ui/menu + ui/pageinfo/window + ui/browser/notifications + ui/browser/tabbar + ui/browser/toolbars + ui/browser/window + ui/update_wizard/dialog + ui/windows + api/appinfo + api/keys + api/l10n + api/places + api/security + api/software_update + api/utils + + +Indices and tables +================== + +* :ref:`genindex` +* :ref:`modindex` +* :ref:`search` |
