This page is the place to learn how to start contributing to the Firefox Developer Tools.
The Firefox Developer Tools are developed by the Mozilla community. We focus on building tools that make life easier for web (and mobile web) developers, addon developers, and Firefox developers. We hope the information on this page will help you become an active member of our community!

Reporting Bugs and Requesting Features
To report a bug/usability papercut/smaller feature/etc, file a bug in the Developer Tools component on Mozilla's Bugzilla.
If you have an idea for a new feature (or want to see what ideas have been submitted so far and their status), you can propose it on uservoice.
Otherwise, you can also suggest larger features by posting them to the mailing list where we can flesh the feature out as a community.
Mentored and Good First Bugs
The firefox-dev.tools site can help you find good-first and/or mentored bugs (alternatively, you can find these list on bugzilla: good-first, mentored).
If you want to pick one of these up, feel free to ask for help in attacking the bug right in the bug itself, in #devtools on irc.mozilla.org, or on the dev-developer-tools mailing list!
One more useful link: all open developer tools bugs might have other items you'd find interesting to work on.
Don't hesitate to ask to be mentored even on bugs that don't have a mentor assigned yet.
