Firefox Developer Edition - The Browser For Web Engineers

Firefox has announced 'Firefox Developer Edition' as a part of its 10 anniversary celebrations. Mozilla had released FF 1.0 10 years ago. Aimed at the nerdy folks on the Internet who make the Internet work, the dev edition replaces the Aurora channel. The impatient ones may head over to the source link below and download the developer edition right away. The patient ones may keep reading to know what all tools and features this new Firefox edition offers.

To begin with, the FF developer edition has a dark theme; and a dark blue logo as well. The interface keeps the view clutter free so that you can focus on your work. You will notice the 'firefox tools adapter' that lets you render your website using various rendering engines. It works not only for the desktop based browsers, but also mobile optimised ones. That is, you will be able to render your web pages via Safari on iOS and Google Chrome running on Android. Of course, Firefox OS is supported as well.

The biggest addition is the inclusion of WebIDE. It specifically targets the Firefox OS and lets you code, debug, test and release apps right from your browser. Those who're used to coding using an IDE should feel at home with the new WebIDE. You'll find almost everything you need to develop and build your web apps inbuilt in WebIDE.

Check out this video from Firefox officials that talks about the Firefox Developer Edition and offers a visual overview of the new tools and features.

    I installed this FF developer version. 👍 The nice thing is it's co-existence with other FF versions.

    Debugger tool is not all new 😏. We had that in current firefox as default dev tool. But integration of some new features are much more useful like 3D view & Color Picker 😁
