I am a mozillian in the Necko-Team. I like improving docs when reading through them.

Resources to integrate somewhere into firefox-source-docs (or wiki)

My personal TODO-List for my outstanding documentation changes (where I don't have the time to do them immediately)/My non-trivially learned lessons about Firefox development:

• https://github.com/mystor/git-revise: Speed up builds (15s instead of 20min) after rebase (use git revise instead) when using git cinnebar
• my .mozconfig:

ac_add_options --enable-debug
ac_add_options --enable-clang-plugin
#ac_add_options --disable-unified-build
ac_add_options --with-ccache=sccache
ac_add_options CCACHE=/home/user/.mozbuild/sccache/sccache

• Setup distributed sccache following https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/build/buildsystem/sccache-dist.html
• Bugzilla instant search. It's the same as duplicate search when entering bugs. Easier to find bugs with this search than the normal for me: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi?format=instant
• moz-phab can be used to download and checkout patches from phabricator using moz-phab patch D000000 and replace D000000 with the patch-id from phabricator
• Documentation of the test .ini files: https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/build/buildsystem/test_manifests.html
• Moz-config helper:
  • https://github.com/ahal/mozconfigwrapper
  • https://github.com/emilio/mozconfigs

• Old error page dinosaur picture:
  • error-connection-failure.svg
  • error-server-not-found.svg
  • blue-berror.svg
  • error-session-restore.svg
  • error-malformed-url.svg

• Searchfox shows the Bugzilla component for files in the navigation box on the right side: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/netwerk/cache/nsCacheUtils.h

• mozregression
• https://moz-conduit.readthedocs.io/: Introduction to the set of systems involved in submitting code to mozilla-central.

Fun code

• Interesting workaround to have a public constructor, but not really (1)

class WorkerThread {
  // Using this struct we restrict access to the constructor while still being
  // able to use MakeSafeRefPtr.
  struct ConstructorKey {};

public:
  explicit WorkerThread(ConstructorKey);
}
