In case you're wondering, and the linked page doesn't explain:

> Puppeteer is a Node library which provides a high-level API to control headless Chrome or Chromium over the DevTools Protocol. It can also be configured to use full (non-headless) Chrome or Chromium.

is there a benefit to using firefox with puppeteer compared to chromium and puppeteer? or is it just a matter of choice and being able to also use firefox for automated testing?

I guess it's a matter of choice for people who still use Firefox.

Nice work, I have been using puppeteer with chrome recently and it is a great piece of kit. If the prototype is successful will you keep the chrome and firefox packages separate or merge them and have an abstraction layer so puppeteer can issue commands regardless of chrome/firefox being used for the browser?
