Bug Days are an excellent way to contribute to Mozilla's QA efforts.  It doesn't matter if you've been involved with Mozilla for years or if this is your first step into our amazing open source community. Anyone can participate and be a valuable contributor. We gather together at predetermined times to focus on particular areas in Bugzilla. The exact area or topic for Bug Day may vary week to week. But the general idea is to work through some sort of bug list as a team.

As of April 2014:
* Clarify bug reports whenever we can do so without distorting the problems.
* Close bug reports as WORKSFORME or INVALID when it's appropriate to do so.
* Ask reporters to provide missing information that would help to replicate and ultimately fix the bugs they report.

FAQ

Where do I start? Each Bug Day topic will have a specific focus. Instruction on what needs to be done should be included in the QMO Bug Day Event post:

The following documentation is good to become familiar with for anyone trying to work in Bugzilla projects:

Note: If you don't have the necessary rights to make a change to a bug, add a comment to the bug detailing what should be changed and why. You can also make this known in the #bugday channel, and one of the moderators or an experienced volunteer will assist you.
