SP2013. I edited the HTML master page. It changes on IE but not on Firefox and Chrome

Question

I've been struggling for days now. I edited a custom Master Page html file, the Javascript part. When I browse using IE, the changes are there. On Firefox and Chrome, it is not. On some PCs the changes are not there at all on all browsers. On some other PCs there are changes but only on IE. I already tried delete cache on every browsers. Still not working. Also, the html master page is not visible in the Sharepoint designer. So I had to open explorer to edit it.

I tried copying seattle master page. Then copy pasted the custom master page into the new seattle copy and rename it to something else, linked it to homepage.aspx. But that gives me 'Something went wrong' error.

It looks like you have not published the master page. To publish your page, go to Site Settings –> Master pages and page layouts and then find your HTML file. Hit the publish button on the ribbon.
