🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

firefox [OPTIONS ...] [URL]

That's it. Options, then a URL if you feel like it. Slay.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Mozilla Firefox is an open-source web browser, designed for standards compliance, performance and portability. Iconic behavior honestly. It's the browser, it's been the browser, and it's out here being open source and standards-compliant like the main character it is. 💅

A summary of the options supported by firefox is included below. Yes, all of them. We're not skipping a single one, bestie. 🫶
