I dev in Firefox. It’s great! The tooling’s really good. It’s subtly different from Chrome and you’ll feel a twinge of friction moving, but by and large, it’s easy.
Just shut it down and restart it every couple of days because it’s memory usage isn’t as tight.
- berkes 5y agoAre you using the Firefox Developer Edition[1], or just the current stable one? Fellow web-dev here, using Firefox (the one that comes with Ubuntu) as main driver. And I'd like to know if the Developer Editiion offers any benefits over the stable one, for webdevelopment.

- the_other 5y agoYes, I use the developer edition. TBH I’m not aure what the benefits are! ;-)
- chopin 5y agoI do too, but what I miss is customized throttling settings (I need to optimize for fast overseas connections: high bandwidth but also high latency). Chrome (and Edge) have this.
- roboticmind 5y agoFirefox has this too. You can do it the network tab[1] or in the Responsive Design Mode[2]. There's drop downs there where you can control how much you want to throttle [1] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Network_Monitor/Throttling https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Network_Monit...'

- chopin 5y agoThanks, I know these settings. One can only choose from the predefined settings. You can't customize those (as for me, to high bandwidth and high latency).
