Modules/Desktop Firefox

Only module owners may edit this page.

They may:

• update any information about their module except the name of the owner
• add or remove sub-modules
• change the owner of a sub-module
• add emeritus owners or peers

Other changes, including changes of module owner or addition/removal of modules, must be agreed with the Module Ownership Module group, probably via a discussion in mozilla.governance.

Owners and peers of the Desktop Firefox module may review code anywhere in the browser and toolkit directories. Reviews should be sent to the more specific submodules below where possible.
