Congratulations on the new release, it's really amazing! I'm a web developer and nowadays I'm using a lot of React. I quite often end up switching to Chrome when I debug to get a useful error message/stack trace. Is this because Facebook has targeted Chrome or is it simply because Chrome has better error reporting? If the latter is the case, are you working on improving this?

  If you notice things that React is doing worse in Firefox than Chrome, let us (React team) know – it's not intentional and we'll want to fix.

I wanted to file a bug, but password policy in Bugzilla is pretty crazy. 12 characters is little over the top.

  Email me (my HN username @mozilla.com) and I'll file for you. I'd also encourage you to look into a password manager (I like https://keepassxc.org/ https://keepassxc.org/, and I've recently seen folks taking a liking to https://bitwarden.com/ https://bitwarden.com/) so you don't have to worry about the requirements. :)

    Thank you. I think I'll just submit it tomorrow. I just need to come up with very long password which I don't forget :)

      ..or use a password manager like the good Mozilla employee suggested!

Just to be clear, Firefox Quantum Developer Edition != Firefox Developer Edition, right?

  "Firefox Quantum" is the marketing name for Firefox 57. "Firefox Quantum: Developer Edition" == "Firefox: Developer Edition" for versions of Firefox >= 57. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Gotcha, thanks for the clarification!
