+Marionette [ ˌmarɪəˈnɛt] is
+
+ * a puppet worked by strings: the bird bobs up and down like
+ a marionette;
+
+ * a person who is easily manipulated or controlled: many officers
+ dismissed him as the mayor’s marionette;
+
+ * the remote protocol that lets out-of-process programs communicate
+ with, instrument, and control Gecko-based browsers.
+
+Marionette provides interfaces for interacting with both the internal
+JavaScript runtime and UI elements of Gecko-based browsers, such
+as Firefox on desktop and mobile. It can control both the chrome- and content
+documents, giving a high level of control and ability to replicate,
+or emulate, user interaction.
+
