# fxbootstrap
A simple command line tool for launching Firefox with a temporary profile.
## Installation
` $ pip install fxbootstrap `
## Launching Firefox
Running fxbootstrap will download and install the latest Firefox Nightly for your platform to a temporary directory. It will then generate a clean profile and launch Firefox using the new profile.
` $ fxbootstrap ✔ Downloaded Firefox to /var/folders/wz/3v_j7g2n2zx_q6qs8g7vmyg00000gn/T/tmpg_WfUI/2018-11-05-22-01-07-mozilla-central-firefox-65.0a1.en-US.mac.dmg ✔ Installed Firefox in /private/var/folders/wz/3v_j7g2n2zx_q6qs8g7vmyg00000gn/T/tmpg_WfUI/Firefox Nightly.app ✔ Generated profile at /var/folders/wz/3v_j7g2n2zx_q6qs8g7vmyg00000gn/T/tmpRZox06.mozrunner 🦊 Running Firefox Nightly 65.0a1 (20181105220107) `
After closing Firefox, the temporary directory containing the binary, installation, and the profile will be deleted.
## Installing add-ons
Add-ons can be installed into the Firefox instance by passing one or more paths to XPI file(s) on the command line:
` $ pipenv run fxbootstrap --addon fbcontainer.xpi --addon fxlightbeam.xpi `
