(Original )Information
What do you like best about Firefox Developer Edition?

I find the developer tools in Firefox Developer Edition the most helpful. I love how I can view the flex CSS details of a page, as well as the separate tab where I can view all of the CSS changes I've made to the particular page I'm inspecting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Firefox Developer Edition?

The only thing I don't really like is how often it has to be updated, which is understandable because it gets the latest updates and integrations from the development team. Sometimes the page has to be reloaded to get the inspector tools to show correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Firefox Developer Edition solving and how is that benefiting you?

As mentioned, one of the most useful things about Firefox Developer Edition is the CSS tools included in the developer tools. They're extremely helpful in keeping track of the changes I've made so I can make sure I don't miss anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Firefox Developer Edition?

It's straightforward to inspect every line of code and get insight into possible issues. Also, this browser is light, fast, and standard-compliant, so its suggestions are always following the internet's best practices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Firefox Developer Edition?

Though I find Firefox Developer Edition a good browser, I mainly use it for developing and testing. It's not my default internet browser: as a Google Workspace user, I find Chrome to be more practical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Firefox Developer Edition:

Fast, stable and reliable, also standard-compliant. I believe it's the best browser for testing and developing... But do not rely only on it, as it's not the most widely used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Firefox Developer Edition solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can easily verify if a website is working correctly: Firefox Developer Edition is my favorite tool to test and check CSS and discover if Javascript is working as expected. Also, privacy mode is active by default, and I don't need to clean the browser history (plus the added security). It's a time-saver. I discovered this software thanks to a former colleague, and now it's part of my set of tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Firefox Developer Edition?

Their tools. Sure, they are very similar to webkit-based developer tools, but this product just was designed to be used by web developers. For example, The inactive-CSS tools, that show you in a gray-ish color the CSS lines that are not getting effect on the current stylesheet. Or its CSS grid helpers. For me, it's just superior to other alternatives (mainly Edge and Chrome) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Firefox Developer Edition?

I don't really dislike anithyng, it seems like a well rounded product. It is stable enough to be used as your primary web browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Firefox Developer Edition:

Use it! You won't regret! Or, at least, give it a try. Plus, it's open-source. The Mozilla Foundation has one of the best communities regarding web development, plus the Mozilla Developer Network, which is an excellent documentation on HTML and CSS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Firefox Developer Edition solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm solving web development problems. I use it alongside my text editor/IDE, to make changes on the fly, and see them as I changed. Benefits: I haven't seen any CSS Grid tool better than this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Firefox Developer Edition?

Firefox Developer Edition is amazing at ticking two boxes for developers - it can act as a great tool to debug JS code and view the console, XHR Requests et al. It also acts as a nice lightweight browser that does not take a lot of memory on the computer allowing other applications such as IDE's to run extremely fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Firefox Developer Edition?

Firefox needs to make critical settings such as opening the debugging console and other items such as entering private mode easier to reach. Currently, they are hidden in submenu's which makes developers' life a tad bit harder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Firefox Developer Edition:

Safari developer edition is another browser that is getting better for JS debugging so that is worth having a look at. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only disadvantage is how bad it works as a default browser. Chances are users won't enjoy making it their default browser because of the limited support for extensions available for other browsers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Optimizing web page layouts, responsive designs, and debugging front-end work, and mobile-first design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Firefox Developer Edition?

Firefox Developer Ed is the best browser for those developers who need maximum control over all the elements that make up a web application. The system is equipped with a console that allows viewing and analyzing the code, correcting errors, but above all, it allows obtaining a real-time preview of the code.

The appearance of mobile-side control could be improved, sometimes the changes do not perfectly match what is then displayed in the mobile interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have maximized the development times of website interfaces, I can easily identify errors, and I can obtain real-time prototypes of website elements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
