 An API add-on for Firefox to allow agentic and script-based management of user bookmarks.
 
-The published product is the add-on in `extension/`. Issue a secret in **Manage clients**, store it with your secrets, and keep Firefox open. A separately installed native host is what accepts those local calls. The options page does not need the host.
+The published product is the add-on in `extension/`. Issue a secret in **Manage clients**, store it with your secrets, and keep Firefox open so those tools can talk to this add-on.
