Asking developers to user a developers version of Firefox is quite smart. Developers are technically adept enough to understand the difference between branded and non-branded Firefox and might even want all sorts of add-ons that help developments but otherwise are annoying to browsing.<p>I hope Mozilla starts making it easier to have and run multiple Firefox browsers with different profiles at the same time. It is possible now, but cumbersome.

&gt; This gives developers great power and flexibility, but it also gives bad actors too much freedom to take advantage of our users.<p>Ask.com toolbar? Also bites into their bottom line as a whores to search engine money
