#### Q: What is the status of cross-browser support? #### Q: What is the status of cross-browser support?
Historically, Puppeteer supported Firefox indirectly through puppeteer-firefox, which relied on a custom, patched version of Firefox. This approach was also known as “Juggler”. Official Firefox support is currently experimental. The ongoing collaboration with Mozilla aims to support common end-to-end testing use cases, for which developers expect cross-browser coverage. The Puppeteer team needs input from users to stabilize Firefox support and to bring missing APIs to our attention.
After discussions with Mozilla, we collectively concluded that relying on custom patches was infeasible.
Since then, we have been collaborating with Mozilla on supporting Puppeteer on “stock” Firefox.
From Puppeteer v2.1.0 onwards, as an experimental feature, you can specify [`puppeteer.launch({product: 'firefox'})`](https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/blob/v2.1.1/docs/api.md#puppeteerlaunchoptions) to run your Puppeteer scripts in Firefox Nightly, without any additional custom patches.
We will continue collaborating with other browser vendors to bring Puppeteer support to browsers such as Safari.

This effort includes exploration of a standard for executing cross-browser commands (instead of relying on the non-standard DevTools Protocol used by Chrome).
