Setting up a development environment for Mobile Firefox is relatively easy! All the projects have repos and either a setup script, or a README. | |||
Before starting to work on a bug, you should make sure you have your development environment set up. When you're ready to start hacking, it's a good idea to add a comment to the bug report letting the mentor know that you want to work on it. Ideally, the bug report should already have relevant source code links to help you get started. If you're unsure whether to take a certain bug or not, you can always [[#Communication|contact us]] for clarification. If the bug you're working on involves UI changes, request feedback from the UX team (see contact list [[#Communication|below]]) before landing. | |||

Just follow our [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Simple_Firefox_for_Android_build build instructions] and you'll be ready to start hacking after a couple of hours—mostly waiting for everything to compile. Unfortunately, Firefox for Android is more complicated than a basic Android app, so we recommend that you're comfortable using a command line before getting started. | |||
