  firefox-installation - ansible role
 =======================================
+
+```
+This ansible role is deprecated and no longer maintained.
+Sorry
+```
+
 Ansible role to install firefox with some plugins and language packs, if your system packet manager provides them (and they are configured)
 
 If you set the variable ``install_pass_as_password_manager`` to true, it will also install pass and (on arch) the browser extention to communicate. That allowes you to store you passwords in gpg encrypted files on your computer. [Read More](https://www.passwordstore.org/). *But better have a look at [GoPass](https://www.gopass.pw/) if you want to use a good password manager.*
