Welcome to the Mozilla QA Community Bug Day wiki!!
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 work on 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.

Discussed with a few visitors ideas for improving Bug Day participation. The biggest concern seemed to be the event time not being convenient for most.
FAQ
Where do I start?
- The following documentation is good to become familiar with for anyone working on Mozilla projects:
- Mozilla QA linked to from the "For Testers" section of mozilla.org/developer
- A good document on how to find existing bugs
- Read Bug Writing Guidelines to learn how to write effective bug reports that lead to bug fixes.
- Review the documentation specific to the topic of the day.
- Join the #bugday channel <-- Changed channel
- Go to your favorite IRC client
- Connect to irc.mozilla.org and "/join #qa"
- Then, just ask the moderators how you can help for the topic of the day.
What build should I be testing with?
- Get the latest Bon Echo builds, the release of the Firefox browser still in development.
