Remove outdated download and build instructions and update the links to the latest documents
There are also mentored bugs, which may be a little more difficult, but still good for beginners. Currently you can find these in Bugzilla or look for them in [https://codetribute.mozilla.org/ Codetribute].
==But first!! Set up an environmentand build==
Download and compile Firefox. The instructions depend on your platform. Here they are:
https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/setup/windows_build.html
https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/setup/macos_build.html
https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/setup/linux_build.html
Also there's quick ref for the entire process:
https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/contributing/contribution_quickref.html
This might take a while - perhaps a couple of hours.
==Update to Run the latest local build==Before you tackle your first bug, here is a walkthrough of what you can do to set up for Firefox coding. Let's download the source code for Firefox.Run hg clone https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central to get it. This is going to take a while. Time to build Firefox.Go to the new mozilla-central directory, and run ./mach build. This is going to take a very long time.
Let's make sure it works!
Run ./mach run -P blank. If the profile manager dialog appears, create a new profile named blank and continue starting Firefox.
