Give Firefox Developer Edition a try, if haven't already, and are looking for more robust development tools.
- dns_snek 3y agoWhat are the differences compared to regular Firefox?
- markandrewj 3y agoFirefox Developer Edition is targeted towards developers, and contains the latest development tools available. New features also land quicker, as it is built against Firefox beta.
- frabcus 3y agoLooking at https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/developer/ https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/developer/ I'm a bit confused... Which features are just new features which will soon be in the main Firefox DevTools, and which are specific to installing the Developer Edition?
- cpeterso 3y agoAFAIK, Firefox Developer Edition is currently just a repackaging of Firefox Beta and doesn’t have different devtools. It used to be a rebranding of Firefox Aurora (an alpha release channel between Firefox Nightly and Beta, now retired) with a different theme and a few different devtool setting changes.
- zdragnar 3y agoMaybe I was just unlucky, but the one time I tried it, it refused to launch. I'd rather not have my professional work tools be built against a beta channel when there are better alternatives.
- markandrewj 3y agoI have been using the Developer Edition since 2014, when it was released, without issue. You are not locked into a single browser. Personally I use more then one browser, and professionally I always validate against multiple browsers. I find different browsers excel at different things in regards to the developer experience. As an example I appreciate that Firefox had a formatted JSON view without requiring an extension. However Chrome also has capabilities that I wish were included in Firefox.
