| == 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.
| |
| | |
| To suggest a larger feature, gather use cases, user stories, a statement of the problem your feature is solving, etc and [[#Communication|post them to the mailing list]] where we can flesh the feature out as a community.

| | |
| == Mentored and Good First Bugs ==
| |
| | |
| Our [http://mzl.la/1bT5rVo list of good first bugs] are bugs that have a mentor, and have been deemed good ones to start with. We also have a [http://mzl.la/1cAcpnj list of all mentored bugs] if you are feeling more adventurous.
| |
| | |
| 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]]!
