Does anyone else find Firefox hard to develop for?


I know that there has been a recent push in many privacy conscious circles to move from Chrome to firefox. I haven't been able to move from Chrome myself due to work and some personal extensions ive created that I don't want to re-write/re-configure.

Also, I think the dev-tools are comparable between chrome and ff.

Anyways, I've been working on some web-apps recently that are going to be firefox supported, but I just find there are so many things on caniuse.com where there is only partial support for firefox. Things from flexbox to range inputs are mostly working 'except for a few bugs' which often impact my work and are annoying/impossible to work around?

I just find way more stuff in firefox that renders differently compared to any other major browser.

Can you explain what you mean by other browsers? What other browsers are there?

As far as I can tell, Firefox is the only remaining rendering engine that isn't Blink/Webkit-based.

Only people who haven't developed HTML/JS during the "browser wars" and don't know what is actually hard :-)
