+The Firefox remote agent is a low-level debugging interface based
+on the CDP protocol.
+
+With it, you can inspect the state and control execution of documents
+running in web content, instrument Gecko in interesting ways,
+simulate user interaction for automation purposes, and debug
+JavaScript execution.
+
+This component provides an experimental and partial implementation
+of a remote devtools interface using the CDP protocol and transport
+layer.
+
+See https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/remote/ for documentation.
+
+It is available in Firefox and is started this way:
+
+	% ./mach run --remote-debugging-port
+
+
+Puppeteer
+=========
+Puppeteer is a Node library which provides a high-level API to control Chrome,
+Chromium, and Firefox over the Chrome DevTools Protocol. Puppeteer runs headless
+by default, but can be configured to run full (non-headless) browsers.
+
+To verify that our implementation of the CDP protocol is valid we do not only
+run xpcshell and browser-chrome mochitests in Firefox CI but also the Puppeteer
+unit tests.
+
+Expectation Data
+----------------
+
+With the tests coming from upstream, it is not guaranteed that they
+all pass in Gecko-based browsers. For this reason it is necessary to
+provide metadata about the expected results of each test. This is
+provided in a manifest file under `test/puppeteer-expected.json`.
+
+For each test of the Puppeteer unit test suite an equivalent entry will exist
+in this manifest file. By default tests are expected to `PASS`.
+
+Tests that are intermittent may be marked with multiple statuses using
+a list of possibilities e.g. for a test that usually passes, but
+intermittently fails:
+
+    "Page.click should click the button (click.spec.ts)": [
+      "PASS", "FAIL"
+    ],
+
+Disabling Tests
+---------------
+
+Tests are disabled by using the manifest file `test/puppeteer-expected.json`.
+For example, if a test is unstable, it can be disabled using `SKIP`:
+
+    "Workers Page.workers (worker.spec.ts)": [
+      "SKIP"
+    ],
+
+For intermittents it's generally preferable to give the test multiple
+expectations rather than disable it.
+
+Autogenerating Expectation Data
+-------------------------------
+
+After changing some code it may be necessary to update the expectation
+data for the relevant tests. This can of course be done manually, but
+`mach` is able to automate the process:
+
+    mach puppeteer-test --write-results
+
+By default it writes the output to `test/puppeteer-expected.json`.
+
+Given that the unit tests run in Firefox CI only for Linux it is advised to
+download the expectation data (available as artifact) from the TaskCluster job.
