Google announced in passing a first effort (code-named puppeteer-firefox) to support Mozilla’s browser at Google I/O ’19 in the Modern Web Testing and Automation with Puppeteer (Google I/O ’19) talk by Andrey Lushnikov and Joel Einbinder. Puppeteer 3.0, however, additionally supports Firefox, a move that is poised to increase its usage for cross-browser testing purposes. While Puppeteer 2.0 supported Chrome 79 and deprecated Node 6, Puppeteer 3.0 supports the latest Chrome browser ( Chrome 81) and no longer supports Node 8. As such, new versions of Puppeteer are often linked to new versions of the Chrome browser and the deprecation of old Node.js versions. Puppeteer is a browser test automation Node.js library that provides a high-level API to control headless Chrome or Chromium over the DevTools Protocol. The new version also upgraded support to the latest Chrome 81, and removed support for Node 8. Puppeteer now supports Firefox in addition to the Chrome browser. Mathias Bynens, Google developer working on ChromeDevTools and v8, released Puppeteer 3.0.
