Any other info?

For context, I'm on Windows 11 and don't have the regular Firefox browser installed, but do have Firefox Developer Edition installed which I use as my main browser. I found a possibly somewhat related, but not quite the same issue: #23.

After scrolling through that issue, I decided to check %localappdata%\httptoolkit\Config\browsers.json to see if the browser is detected at all, and it is. I attached the contents of the browser.json file to this issue: browsers.json

Are you sure this is a bug? Because HTTP Toolkit doesn't support Firefox dev yet.

If Firefox dev is officially not supported then I suppose this isn't a bug. I was under the impression that Firefox dev edition should be supported though, as it's being detected as evident by the browsers.json file.

If firefox dev edition isn't supported yet then I'm totally willing to look into this and open a PR for Firefox dev support, if that's something the maintainers of this repo would like to see.

Hi! This was actually discussed recently, see this comment for the steps required to add various Firefox clones.

For the Firefox Dev case, the first 3 steps are done.
