Matrix

Getting Started

What is Matrix

Matrix is an open standard and lightweight protocol for decentralized, real-time communications. Mozilla is officially switching to Matrix, replacing IRC for public discussions.

Mozilla's Matrix server is configured to use Mozilla IAM for user management. Mozilla IAM supports the following accounts:

• Mozilla LDAP
• Firefox Accounts
• Github
• Google

Community Participation Guidelines

The heart of Mozilla is people. We put people first and do our best to recognize, appreciate and respect the diversity of our global contributors. The Mozilla Project welcomes contributions from everyone who shares our goals and wants to contribute in a healthy and constructive manner within our community

Despite our very best efforts, occasionally people do experience behaviors in IRC that are not inline with our Community Participation Guidelines. If happens to you, please reach out to the room moderator or use our reporting hotline.
