Why?

  Because it has been a common trend in computing to split consumer and development devices.

    For browsers, the opposite has been true. Developer tools that you once installed as extensions (hello Firebug) are now shipped in the browser.

      Firefox's current devtools shipped beginning with Firefox 4. It was only Firefox 3.x that shipped without any kind of tooling for web developers. Prior to Firefox 3, the original DOM Inspector was built-in by default (just like the case with Mozilla Suite and SeaMonkey).

      I know, just expect it to turn full circle.

  Yeah, seems a bit pointless to split builds for no reason. You always want to test on the browser users will ultimately use anyways, even if you have guarantees the code works exactly the same for dev and user editions.
