+
+Common documentation
+====================
+
+The following documentation pages apply to all remote protocols
+
+.. toctree::
+ :maxdepth: 1

+ Building.md
+ Debugging.md
+ Prefs.md
+ Testing.md
+ CodeStyle.md
+ Security.md
+ PuppeteerVendor.md
+
+Protocols
+=========
+
+.. _marionette-header:
+
+Marionette
+----------
+
+Marionette is used both by internal tools and testing solutions, but also by
+geckodriver to implement the `WebDriver (HTTP) specification`_. The documentation
+for Marionette can be found under `testing/marionette`_.
+
+.. _WebDriver (HTTP) specification: https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/
+.. _testing/marionette: /testing/marionette
+
+
+.. _remote-protocol-cdp-header:
+
+Remote Protocol (CDP)
+---------------------
+
+Firefox implements a subset of the `Chrome DevTools Protocol`_ (CDP) in order to
+support third party automation tools such as `puppeteer`. The documentation for
+the remote protocol (CDP) implement can be found at `remote/cdp`_.
+
+.. _Chrome DevTools Protocol: https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/
+.. _remote/cdp: cdp/
+
+
+.. _webdriver-bidi-header:
+
+WebDriver BiDi
+--------------
+
+`The WebDriver BiDi specification <https://w3c.github.io/webdriver-bidi>`_
+extends WebDriver HTTP to add bidirectional communication. Dedicated
+documentation will be added as the Firefox implementation makes progress.
+
+Architecture
+============
+
+Message Handler
+---------------
+
+The documentation for the framework used to build WebDriver BiDi modules can be
+found at `remote/messagehandler`_.
