The creators / producers I know (a small sample, localized to PDX) are almost 100 percent MacOS X and nearly all of them develop with Chrome and only test on other browsers. There's a small Linux subset, mostly running Ubuntu LTS. We have a Mozilla lab here so there's probably more Firefox here than in places where Mozilla doesn't have a lab.

I run Fedora because it's great for doing remixes. I used to run openSUSE for the same reason; I switched when "Beefy Miracle" was in mid-beta. > Yeah, I'm not sure what's going on with Fedora and Mozilla.

I'd also throw a +1 or two for packaging Firefox Developer Edition, although the upstream changes almost every day - there would need to be a fair amount of automated testing tied to it given that. Firefox stable seems to change fairly regularly too. -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
