WWW::Mechanize::Firefox - use Firefox as if it were WWW::Mechanize

A Perl module to use Firefox as if it were WWW::Mechanize

https://metacpan.org/pod/WWW::Mechanize::Firefox

This module will let you automate Firefox through the Mozrepl plugin. You need to have installed that plugin in your Firefox.

Note that the module only supports Firefox up to Firefox version 54 . After that, Firefox does not support the mozrepl plugin anymore. That plugin is needed for the functionality of this module.

Also see the Troubleshooting FAQ.
