Treehouse TeacherWhich browsers should I be using?
Everything was working fine for me in the Edge browser until I got the the profile picture on the about.html. No CSS changes had any effect whatsoever on the picture. Without changing anything I opened up treehouse in Firefox and TADA! it worked... But Firefox comes with its own set of things which don't really work properly. Specifically, the top part of the page seems to be overlapping itself somehow? Which browser am I supposed to be using so that all code works and appears as they have it if I'm on a Windows system?

I think there's also a course somewhere here on Treehouse about Chrome's Dev Tools. I use Chrome's dev tools every day. I know Firefox has good dev tools as well, but I personally prefer Chrome's.

I am new in web designing, so I have already searched a bit on Internet and found "Mozilla Firefox Developer Edition". Someone have tested it, any comment about it? https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/
Thanks

Treehouse TeacherHi there, Martin. On any typical day I generally have Mozilla Firefox as my standard web browser, however with this particular exercise the code simply wasn't working with the web browser included with Windows 10. I can say that most examples I've run into here at TreeHouse work in Firefox, but I have run into a couple that only looked correct in Chrome. Given that it's so difficult to keep up with browser updates across the board I imagine that some exercises will become slightly off every once in a while.
I can highly recommend getting the Firebug plugin for Firefox which is free and it expands on the built-in developer tools in Firefox. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firebug/ . Happy coding!

Treehouse TeacherThanks for the suggestion. I've been using Firefox with the Firebug plugin. I'll give Chrome a try. I'm still curious why certain CSS dosen't work in Edge at all. At least not with the Treehouse workspaces. If all else fails, I have a backup Mac mini and can try Safari or Chrome on there as well!
