I use it, but just don't like the devtools. Or moreso miss some things from Chrome/Edge.
Give Firefox Developer Edition a try, if haven't already, and are looking for more robust development tools.

In some ways profiles works better, and in others container tabs does. I have two password managers, one for work and one for home. Multiple profiles lets me work with both. Container tabs lets me log into a site multiple times, or when they have a session cookie that prevents me from navigating to two different flows. Both great, both fill completely different niches.
Firefox has profiles too, btw.
The profiles plugin, is great.

I would want to see this integrated.

> Chrome still feels snappier I actually tested this and Firefox is significantly faster in rendering CSS and tables. (Not sure about complex Javascript.) Chrome's snappiness is mostly UI smoke and mirrors, actual sites load faster for me in Firefox.
Maybe FF should take some tips on those UI "smoke and mirrors". What feels faster is what users are going to go off of. For example, a page that fully loads in 1 second vs a page that incrementally loads in 1.5 seconds - the latter may feel faster because the time to start loading is faster.

Firefox is a great browser and Mozilla is a (generally) great organization. It's my daily driver on all my devices (except my TV ha), it's fast and has great plugins that also work in mobile. Philosophically I'm very much a "root for the underdog" type of person so it makes me happy that way, too. Only very rarely (every few months) am I forced to use Chrome for a site - and in my view, that's a huge ding on the site…

>Firefox's Container Tabs is hard for me to imagine losing. Yes, and the lack of a viable vertical tabs solution for Chrome (though some Chrome based browsers have native implementations). I am baffled how anyone could still be using horizontal tabs as it is clearly inferior. I am also annoyed as hell that it is not native in Firefox.
What extension do you use for vertical tabs on FF? I tried tree style tabs and sideberry but liked neither.
Is this one of those synthetic benchmarks that don't mean much?

If you are interested in just JS, JetStream 2 is a good metric IMO, but is perhaps less "real world" as it doesn't really do DOM stuff. FF is slower here, but has made a lot of progress recently. (going from somewhere around 35% slower to around 10% slower).

What do you find lacking in Firefox dev tools? For me I actually prefer them to Chrome.
