browser-cli Firefox

browser-cli

Control your browser from the terminal or Python SDK

Features & Capabilities

browser-cli lets you control your real, running browser from the terminal or from Python scripts. It is not a headless browser and does not use a virtual display: commands operate on your actual open tabs, windows, tab groups, and pages.

The add-on works together with the real-browser-cli Python package through Firefox Native Messaging. After installing the native host, you can list and search tabs, open URLs, manage tab groups, save and restore sessions, inspect page information, extract page text, links, images, HTML, or Markdown, and automate DOM actions on pages you explicitly target.

Typical use cases include browser automation, tab cleanup, session management, research workflows, scripting repetitive browser tasks, and integrating a visible browser into local developer tools or agent workflows.

browser-cli does not collect analytics, telemetry, or tracking data. Browser data is accessed only when you explicitly run a command, and processing happens locally unless you intentionally configure browser-cli's optional remote-control mode for machines you control.

Is browser-cli Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
