| == Reporting Bugs and Requesting Features ==
| |
| | |
| To report a bug/usability papercut/smaller feature/etc, [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Firefox&component=Developer%20Tools file a bug in the Developer Tools component] on Mozilla's Bugzilla.
| |
| | |
| If you have an idea for a new feature, you can [[#Communication|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 [http://firefox-dev.tools/ 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 [[#Communication|#devtools on irc.mozilla.org, or on the dev-developer-tools mailing list]]!
| |
| | |
| One more useful link: [https://bugzil.la/comp%3A%22Developer%20Tools%22 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.
