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, add-on and Firefox developers. We hope the information on this page will help you become an active member of our community!
If after reading this wiki page, you still aren't sure what your next steps are, reach out to us on IRC.
Communication
- Twitter: @FirefoxDevTools
- Mailing list: dev-developer-tools

- Weekly phone calls
On top of that, we make heavy use of IRC chat in our day to day development. If you haven't used IRC before, check out the guide to getting started with IRC.
We hang out in the #devtools channel at irc://irc.mozilla.org/devtools

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, you can post it to the mailing list where Firefox DevTools team members are available to answer questions and respond to comments.
Mentored and Good First Bugs
The firefox-dev.tools site can help you find good first bugs and/or mentored bugs.
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.
Working on the code
If you are ready to get the source code and start working on it, check out our guide to working on DevTools.
