web-ext doesn't look for Firefox Developer Edition

See original GitHub issue

Is this a bug or feature request?

Feature Request

What is the current behavior?

Currently, if you run web-ext run with only Firefox Developer Edition installed the following error is thrown:

Error: spawn C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe ENOENT
    at exports._errnoException (util.js:1026:11)
    at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:193:32)
    at onErrorNT (internal/child_process.js:359:16)
    at _combinedTickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:74:11)
    at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:98:9)

What is the expected or desired behavior?

I’d like web-ext to find the Firefox Developer Edition for me, so I don’t have to --firefox every time I run it or ever. 😉

Yeah, that would be nice to choose a sane default.

BTW, there is a shortcut for this: web-ext run --firefox=firefoxdeveloperedition and you can also set $FIREFOX in the environment.

It works for me on 64bit

web-ext run -f "C:\Program Files\Firefox Developer Edition\firefox.exe"
