Benefits and Features of firefox
Firefox is the best choice for both web developers and their viewers, because it offers the most reliable performance, even with many tabs open(it takes less RAM and CPU usage compare to the chrome according to my 2 years of experience with firefox and many forums also agree that😊), the most consistent standards-compliant rendering and Javascript functioning across all desktop/laptop platforms, and the most democratic transparent open-source software development community, resulting in browser software which is much less likely to contain malware. Firefox is the only major browser that is truly open source, maintained by all opensource contributors. Firefox is also better than other major browsers because it is available in its native form on all platforms. Firefox renders and performs reliably on all platforms.

FireFox Developer Edition
Among developers, Firefox is probably the world’s most popular browser.
On it’s own, Firefox is a pretty powerful browser. Deemed a lot faster than the average web browser, Firefox helps you to track down information and create stunning websites in a fraction of the time of something like Edge.
However, if you really want to get the next-level Firefox experience, then it’s worth upgrading to Firefox’s own developer edition.
Like Google Chrome for Developers, Firefox’s Developer Edition comes built for the open web.
Additionally, with Firefox Developer Edition, you get access to a next-generation CSS engine (written in RUST), an inactive CSS system that grays out CSS declarations that don’t impact the page, and more. There is also a host of “Firefox DevTools” to access.
With your new browser, you can access a best-in-class JavaScript debugger, a Master CSS Grid, and various other features too. In fact, Firefox is the only browser that is specifically built with tools that help developers to build and design with their own CSS grid. These tools make it easier to visualize information, display area names, and preview transformations too.
Firefox developer edition is having
