=== Filing Bugs ===
==== I found a bug, how do I report it? ====
First of all, thank you for doing that! Bugs reported early are also more easy to fix or back out than bugs reported weeks or months after the code was written, simply because developers just wrote it and have all of it fresh in their memory.
If you think you have found a bug in Nightly, the best thing to do is indeed to report it in our Bug tracking system, called [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org Bugzilla].
Bugzilla can be a bit intimidating when you use it for the first time, but we have documentation to help you make useful bug reports here that may get you started:
[https://developer.mozilla.org/vi/docs/Mozilla/QA/Bug_writing_guidelines Bugzilla: Bug writing guidelines]
Don't hesitate to ask experienced Nightly users (staff or employees) to help you file the bug in the #nightly IRC channel if you are unsure about the process or if English is not your native language and want to make sure your bug description is understandable.
Once you have filed the bug, you may get questions from bug triagers (people that enrich existing bug report with useful metadata and try to get the right dev in front of the right issue) or developers that are trying to reproduce your bug about your configuration or the steps to reproduce what you experience, watch your mailbox for such messages!
One more thing, please add the ''nightly-community'' word in the ''keyword'' field of your bug report, that helps us triage better the bugs filed by our core community.
==== The bug I found is a regression! ====
A regression is when something that used to work is no longer working or no longer working as expected.
If your bug is a regression, please add the ''regression'' keyword to your bug report.
We have a specific tool helping us to find when the code that introduced a regression landed in Nightly, this is called [https://mozilla.github.io/mozregression/ mozegression]. There is a GUI for Windows and a command line interface for Linux/Mac.
Here is an article on the Nightly blog about it: [https://blog.nightly.mozilla.org/2016/10/11/found-a-regression-in-firefox-give-us-details-with-mozregression/ Found a regression in Firefox? Give us details with mozregression!]
