Description: # Foxglove - a firefox proxy profile manager
        
        Foxglove is a Firefox profile and ssh proxy manager with two purposes:
        
        1. Programatically generate Firefox profiles with preferences that I consider
           desirable for the majority of use cases. These disable, where possible,
           Firefox's built-in advertising, pop-ups, telemetry, experiments, and similar
           features.
        
        2. Optionally ssh to a remote host and configure the Firefox profile to use
           that connection as a SOCKS proxy.
        
        Profiles generated by foxglove are stored in `~/.foxglove`.
        
        ```
        usage: foxglove [-h] [--config path] [--chrome path] [--content path] [--options string] [-d] [-e] profile [host]
        
        foxglove - a Firefox profile and proxy manager
        
        positional arguments:
          profile           The name of the foxglove-managed profile to use or create
          host              ssh server hostname. If this option is given, foxglove will attempt to use ssh(1) with no additional arguments to
                            connect to the host and configure Firefox to use it as a SOCKS proxy
        
        optional arguments:
          -h, --help        show this help message and exit
          --config path     path to a specific ssh config file to use
          --chrome path     path to a userChrome.css file to add to the Firefox profile
          --content path    path to a userContent.css file to add to the Firefox profile
          --options string  additional options to pass to Firefox. Space-separated options should be entered as a single (e.g., double-quoted)
                            argument. (--no-remote, --new-instance, and --profile <path> will be automatically prepended)
          -d                dry run (don't launch Firefox)
          -e                ephemeral profile (delete on exit)
        ```
        
        To use the "host" argument, configure a corresponding Host entry in your
        `~/.ssh/config` such that you can ssh to it with no additional arguments. The
        remote host must allow port forwarding.
        
        Foxglove launches Firefox via a subprocess call to "firefox". On MacOS,
        foxglove first appends `/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS` to PATH.
        Prepending a directory to PATH may be used to select a particular Firefox
        installation. For example, you might launch Firefox Nightly on MacOS like this:
        
        ```bash
        PATH="/Applications/Firefox Nightly.app/Contents/MacOS:$PATH" foxglove example
        ```
        
        All foxglove data including profiles is stored in `~/.foxglove`, which will be
        created on first run. Foxglove will not touch your regular Firefox profiles in
        any way.
        
        ## user.js preferences
        These settings have changed substantially during Firefox's development, so some
        may be unsupported or meaningless in current versions.
        
        Preference changes made to a foxglove-managed profile will reset to foxglove's
        default values on the next run. To retain changes, you can either use the
        generated profile as a normal Firefox profile without foxglove, or modify your
        installation of foxglove's prefs.js file with your desired preferences.
        
        Some foxglove defaults to consider changing:
        
        | Key                               | Default | Foxglove | Comments                                       |
        | --------------------------------- | ------- | -------- | -----------------------------------------------|
        | dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled | true    | false    | May break some sites                           |
        | privacy.resistFingerprinting      | false   | false    | May break some sites; can be counterproductive |
        | privacy.donottrackheader.enabled  | false   | true     | May be used for fingerprinting                 |
        | network.trr.mode                  | 0       | 0        | TRRs can interfere with test environments      |
