Yes, Firefox is good for browsing but as a developer who has to work on the frontend, the ecosystem isn't there in Firefox. Many of the framework debugging tools for React, Redux, etc. don't work well in Firefox.
Ever since WebExtensions, there's not really a good reason for the devtools to be much worse on Firefox.
If you have used these extensions and have issues, I'd love to hear them. I've done React/Redux dev on both and I don't notice things working significantly better in Chrome. (Admittedly, I haven't done any in a few months.)
The only real thing that gets me now is the lack of being able to inspect WebSocket frames. :(
Thanks for clarifying! I should give Firefox a try again, when I tried last time it wasn't good enough. Chrome's devtools had many features of timing and performance which were absent or not good enough last time I tried.

...And I don't really recall many issues.
