-================
+# Test Agent Firefox Launcher
 
-test-agent firefox launcher
+The intent is this module is never used directly as it is very low level
+guts for launching firefox with a clean profile each time...
+
+This should be used in conjunction with (test-agent)[https://github.com/test-agent/test-agent]
+
+## Usage
+
+(there is no node interface)
+
+```sh
+# if you installed with npm install -g
+EXEC=test-agent-firefox-launcher
+# if you installed with npm install
+EXEC=./node_modules/.bin/test-aget-firefox-launcher
+
+$EXEC --exec /path/to/firefox/folder $URL
+```
