There is no cloud, just someone else's computer.

Sometimes you have to do stupid things to make those computers bend to your will.

This repository was created because Firefox for Linux pthread renaming did not work when running headless Firefox inside an AWS Lambda.

See this Twitter thread (now archived as original Twitter account deleted) for background on the creation of this workaround.
