MichaelMade for developers, Firefox Developer Edition is a customizable browser

A review by Michael

The latest browser version from Mozilla, Firefox Developers Edition is explicitly developed for developers built from the ground up to fit the web development process, offering developers a wide variety of utilities.

Pros

  • Designed specifically for developers
  • Can be used alongside Firefox
  • Standard-compliant
  • Ready to use
  • Feature-rich
  • Lead time for new features

Cons

  • Heavy on resources
  • Can be unstable at times
  • Not chromium-based
  • Not available for Android

The Firefox Developers Edition can be installed and run alongside the normal Firefox browser. This new browser has styles and colors resembling developer tools. Apart from the developer tools, you also get access to newer tools like the Valence add-on to connect developer tools to other browsers.

Another amazing feature of this browser edition is the Responsive Design View that you can use to adjust screen sizes to your preferences without having to change the browser window size. The Style Editor gives access to CSS styles in a web page. You can create new styles and apply existing ones to any page.

What makes this browser edition preferable over others is that every new Firefox feature is first applied to this version. It leads to the regular version and supports the latest updates. You can use this lead time to test out new features and take advantage of updates in advance. The Developer edition also has its preferences set with the requirements of web developers.

Final Verdict

Summing up, Firefox Developer Edition is an excellent browser particularly loaded with features and add-ons that developers would find useful. It is aimed at giving you access to cutting-edge, new features not yet available elsewhere. The lead time of 12-weeks on this browser lets you enjoy the newest additions and updates before others. With amazing features like a dark theme out of the box and default preferences for developers, this Firefox version certainly seems to be promising.
