For me, the shortcomings are:
Firefox (unless things have changed recently) still has limited addon capability -- no key remapping (or most other stuff) until the current tab has loaded. You also can't do unsigned addons (unless you do dev mode which is a separate install that doesn't update), while Chrome allows them by toggling "dev mode".
- kibwen 6y agoYou can totally do unsigned add-ons in Firefox, I'm using an add-on right now that I developed and didn't feel like bothering to upload to AMO.
- SilasX 6y agoAre you using the development build? FF currenly ignores your "allow unsigned addons" setting.
- kibwen 6y agoI'm unsure what you're referring to. I use Firefox Nightly, but your prior comment implies the existence of a "dev mode which is a separate install that doesn't update"; Firefox Nightly updates just fine, and it's not a separate install, it's the only Firefox on my machine. It's perfectly stable, I haven't had a crash in years. And I didn't need to change any settings to install my add-on, I just clicked the "install from disk" option in the add-ons menu.
- SilasX 6y agoI mean it’s a separate install from mainline, not something you can just toggle. Plus it requires you to use an unrecommended, bleeding edge version that’s mainly for testing.
