Summary: I intend to implement and ship a new enumerable, non-configurable, read-only "webdriver" attribute on the Navigator object. The attribute is true when the -marionette flag is passed to Firefox or the marionette.enabled preference is true. Otherwise it is false.
Motivation: To give web authors a way to infer if user agent is controlled by automation, so the document can take alternate code paths when under test. Bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1169290 Standard: https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/webdriver-spec.html#interface Estimated target release: 60 Testing: Covered by WPT. Do other engines have this? Blink [1], Edge, and WebKit [2] have this. Blink only exposes the attribute during automation, but we expect them to unconditionally expose it given a recent specification change [3].
