This may not be correct platform to ask the question. I had given a presentation on Burp suite, One question came to me that "Why Firefox is preferred browser to set proxy with ? " What to answer this question ? I am sure that I will get technical and detailed answer for this. Note : I know that Burp can be configured with other browsers as well. :)

Hi Dhaval, Interesting question. In the past Firefox was preferable because of the add-ons available, and a better JavaScript console. These days, Chrome has the superior JavaScript console and many add-ons available.
