If you write CSS, test your code with Firefox

I use both Chrome and MS Edge (Chrome) as my two main browsers. I use Google’s browser for G Suite (Gmail, Docs), Adsense, and YouTube as I have YouTube Premium. Nearly all other sites I visit I use Edge. I find this divides my web based work and entertainment nicely. However, I sometimes use Firefox when I want to test something that is cached because I have configured it to not cache anything. But it turns out that Firefox is also very handy for another reason.

If you are like me, you write a lot of CSS in WordPress and testing that often means you need to use your browser inspector. If you do this in Firefox you have an extra feature that other browsers do not have. It will actually tell you why your CSS isn’t working. With other browsers, you can only guess why your code is not working or in conflict. This video will show you how to get these useful tips when using Inspector.
