Grabs Firefox package URLs

## Installation

`npm install firefox-get`

## Method

### get(version, [options], [callback])

`version` can be a number (`20`) or a string (`'18.0b2'`), or a channel version such as `'release'`, `'beta'`, `'aurora'` and `'nightly'`. Returns a promise, or can pass in a callback, which has an `err` and `value` argument signature.

The module exports two methods: `b2g` and `firefox` with the same function signature, one for the Firefox browser, and the other for Firefox OS.

There are some OS/version/language combinations that don't exist. Be sure to check the [Firefox FTP](http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/) to see if it exists when debugging any issues.

#### options

* `os`: Operating system. Available are the following:

  * `'linux-x86_64'` (default);

  * `'linux-i686'`

  * `'mac'`

  * `'win32'`

  * `'win64-x86_64'` (Only works with aurora/nightly channels)

* `language`: Any of the supported language codes. [Here's a list of languages](http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/linux-x86_64/). `'en-US'` is default.

## CLI

Also provided is a CLI tool -- same options (os, language, version) as above. Pushes URL to stdout.

```

# Specify version

$ firefox-get -v nightly

$ firefox-get --version 24

# Language and OS

$ firefox-get -v nightly -l en-US -o linux-x86_64

$ firefox-get --version nightly --language en-US --os linux-x86_64

# Also a B2G flag for the B2G URL instead of Firefox's

$ firefox-get -b -v aurora

$ firefox-get --b2g -v aurora

```

## Examples

```javascript

var get = require('firefox-get');

var b2gGet = get.b2g;

get('16.0.2').then(function (url) {

  console.log(url); // http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/16.0.2/linux-x86_64/en-US/firefox-16.0.2.tar.bz2

});

get('nightly').then(function (url) {

  console.log(url); // http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/firefox-24.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2

});

// Get b2g package

b2gGet('release').then(function (url) {

  // URL returned

});

// Using options

get('release', { os: 'linux-i686', language: 'es-ES' }).then(function (url) {

  console.log(url); // http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/linux-i686/es-ES/firefox-21.0.tar.bz2

});

// Using callbacks

get('notaversion', function (err) {

  // err on response

});

get('18.0b2', function (err, url) {

  // URL returned

});

```
