Run Firefox as a browser inside Home Assistant to access local or external web sites from your home.
Mozilla Firefox is a free and open-source web browser developed by Mozilla Foundation and its subsidiary, Mozilla Corporation.
This add-on is based on the docker image from Jocelyn Le Sage.
A huge thank to him for the great containers created and maintained. He's the real hero who needs to be supported.
To make it compatible with Home Assistant persistence, I needed to remap folders and to do so, the startup script runs as root. I will try to avoid this in the future.
Just install, start the container and click on "Open Web UI". You can use "Show in sidebar" for easy access. Everything you do is persisted in Firefox. Even if you stop the Add-on or restart Home Assistant host OS.
The files downloaded in Firefox are automatically stored to your /share/firefox folder.
If you need to upload files through the Firefox add-on, you can use the File editor add-on to upload the files to your /share/firefox folder.
The files will be available in the downloads folder of the add-on. You can browse to this location when you select the files to upload.
You can import bookmarks.html file by dropping them in your /share/firefox folder and import the bookmarks.html file in Firefox.
