I am a linux dev, my ubuntu distro updates firefox along with the OS updates soon after a new firefox release. Mozilla has adopted an aggressive release schedule and the gwt plugin for it has lagged several weeks behind. So when a new firefox is released, i have to change from firefox dev to chrome dev until the plugin is available for firefox. I have yet to have a google chrome version update break the gwt plugin, or ot have an updated plugin available immediately. I can count on chrome on linux with the gwt dev plugin(YAY!!). It's just really, really slow for non-trivial page layouts.
Otherwise, my options are run a local, older version of firefox I download and hope the latest firefox doesn't update the shared prefs/plugins breaking the older version I'm running alongside it or reboot into windows and develop there. GWT, besides being AWESOME, is a free product so I don't have a leg to stand on to complain to Google. But I do humbly request they get Chrome up to firefox speed in gwt dev mode. Pretty please. It is ironic that the gwt plugin for chrome, both Google products, is the slowest combination.
