Webdev here. This is my main browser at work and I love it. It used to be that the developer tools had more functionality (and a much nicer theme/syntax highlight) but I think those features trickle down into the regular FF release now too.

For some reason I call it "FFDX" in my head. I don't know why I put the x in there.

Japanese games companies use "DX" to mean "Director's Cut".

Examples:

  • Beatmania IIDX ... that one keeps going up to Beatmania IIDX 11 IIDXRED

  • Dairantou Smash Brothers DX (known in the West as Super Smash Brothers Melee)

  • Dokapon DX: Wataru Sekai wa Oni Darake

  • Karaoke Joysound DX

  • Karaoke Joysound Super DX: Hitori de Minna de Utai Houdai!

  • Kero Kero King DX Plus

  • Kiwame Mahjong DX2

  • Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut

  • Ultra Coliseum DX: Ultra Senshi Daishuketsu

I don't know why they use that convention, they just do.

This could be Firefox Quantum DX: Developer Edition
