Correct for now. However...

Firefox did start investigating supporting the Chrome DevTools Protocol: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/mozilla.dev.platform/4-4A8...

We (Chrome DevTools/Puppeteer team) have had detailed discussions with their DevTools team on this, recommending what subset would enable Puppeteer. I don't know where they are with this, but in the long-term, this solution looks most promising.




Firefox/Mozilla has been doing a great job with cross-browser initiatives like the WebExtension APIs, and dipping their toes into CDP. I am STOKED to hear you guys have been having cross-team conversations on these details!

Shameless fanboy moment: have followed your stuff for years, and I absolutely love the products your team(s) put out (CDP/Puppeteer)!


Aww thanks amigo! Thanks v much. Plz holler my way if there's anything we can do better.

The devtools teams (Chrome, FF, Safari, and Edge) actually talk quite a bit. We collaborate on the console spec [0] and keep each-other in check on feature parity. ;)

It would be immeasurably useful for Firefox to have support for Chrome DevTools Protocol (or have something with the same functionality).

Anyone from Mozilla know where to follow the work for this?
