When I’ve talked to people from Mozilla about it, I’ve gotten the reply that AppleScript is a power user feature that regular users don’t care for. It’s the only major browser without AppleScript support, and the bug report open for it is old enough to vote. My reason for not using Firefox (and I inadvertently get people out of it) is that it’s atrocious for automation on macOS.

You’re right that every time there’s a Firefox release, it rises to the top of HN with the same comments. > have used Firefox but have faced issues and would want to try it if > how we can have Firefox thrive and grow Great to know this browser is all about privacy instead of just trying to provide the bare minimum to keep people on board.

Had to go back to Chrome for development. Also little things like, which I was able to report. For example, I was using the JS debugger, and for some reason breakpoints wouldn't "hold"-after being stopped for some period of time (not long), the page would refresh. DevTools have definitely much improved since I last tried, but they are still glitchy compared to Chrome. Great to see the emphasis on DevTools in this release. Now I reach for Firefox much more naturally. After struggling to remember to use Firefox, I just signed out of all my accounts in Chrome. Had to, with everything that's going on in Chrome.
