+Remote Protocol (CDP)
+=====================
+
+The Firefox **remote protocol (CDP)** is a low-level debugging interface
+you can use to inspect the state and control execution of documents
+running in web content, instrument the browser in interesting ways,
+simulate user interaction for automation purposes, and for subscribing
+to updates in the browser such as network- or console logs.
+
+It complements the existing Firefox Developer Tools :ref:`Remote Debugging
+Protocol <Remote Debugging Protocol>` (RDP) by implementing a subset of the
+`Chrome DevTools Protocol`_ (CDP).
+
+To use Firefox remote protocol with Fission, CDP client authors should read the
+`Required Preferences`_ page.
