It is typically used in automated testing, browser automation, and deployment scenarios where you need to set up a Firefox or other Mozilla application with specific configurations without manual GUI interaction.\n\nThe package has no runtime dependencies and is designed as a standalone utility library. However, its dormant maintenance status (no releases or commits in 840 days) and high install friction suggest it may not be actively supported. The codebase was originally released in 2011 and last updated in April 2024, but the lack of recent activity and unclear Python version support indicate potential compatibility issues with modern environments.","worth_installing":"No, unless you are maintaining legacy code that already depends on mozprofile. The package is dormant (840 days without updates), has high install friction, and its Python version support is unclear. Modern Firefox automation should use actively maintained alternatives like Selenium or Playwright with their own profile management capabilities."},"id":"mozprofile","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mozprofile","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mozprofile.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/mozprofile/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-04-26","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"mozprofile","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Library to create and modify Mozilla application profiles"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":130981,"position":11617,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.0.0"}
