firecrawl-browser

Cloud Chromium sessions in Firecrawl's remote sandboxed environment. Interact with pages that require clicks, form fills, pagination, or login. Shorthand auto-launches a session if none exists — no setup required. Session management: launch-session --ttl 600 , list , close Profiles survive close and can be reconnected by name. Use them for login-then-work flows: Read-only reconnect (no writes to session state): Shorthand with profile: - Content requires interaction: clicks, form fills, pagination, login - scrape failed because content is behind JavaScript interaction - You need to navigate a multi-step flow - Last resort in the workflow escalation pattern : search → scrape → map → crawl → browser - Never use browser for web searches — use search instead - If you get forbidden errors, the session may have expired — create a new one. - For parallel browser work, launch separate sessions and operate them via --session . - Always close sessions when done to free resources. - firecrawl-scrape — try scrape first, escalate to browser only when needed - firecrawl-search — for web searches (never use browser for searching) - firecrawl-agent — AI-powered extraction (less manual control)
