OK, Firefox experts: which desktop OS does Firefox run best on?
And which desktop OS has the largest usage share among the developers of Firefox?
(I want to know because I am undecided on which OS I will be using in the future. By "run best" I mean the fewest bugs and the fewest instances of behavior that would surprise an ordinary user.)

- verisimilidude 7y ago(This is probably subjective, and I don't consider myself and expert.) I think Firefox feels best on Gnome-based Linux desktops: Fedora, Ubuntu, etc. Windows 10 is also a fine target for Firefox; I never encounter any problems there. I hear some features are missing on touchscreen laptops: gestures, etc. I could be wrong. Firefox has always had a little bit of funkiness on the Mac. Little UI things, battery killing performance issues, and so on. YMMV. But I still used Firefox on the Mac as my default for many years, and it was fine.
