| Silverfox | |||
| Silverfox is the codename of a new feature meant to be an operation mode targeted to beginner users who are being guided on learning how to use the web. In this mode, most settings should be locked down, preventing the user from mistakenly tweaking settings or installing unwanted add-ons. It's not meant to be a | |||
tightly controlled, irreversible-without-password setting, but rather a feature that will make it harder to accidentally break or deteriorate the Firefox experience. | |||
| Good JS skills and ability to work with large codebases. Previous add-on experience is a plus. | |||

| About:memory for real people | |||
| About:memory has been a very useful tool for us developers to better understand memory consumption in Firefox and help diagnose and fix problems (See the [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Performance/MemShrink MemShrink project]). We would like to make about:memory also useful for web developers and users by providing better data visualization and analysis that will help them understand the footprint of their websites and improve accordingly. You should be able to come up with useful and creative ways to visualize that data and implement those visualization using JS. | |||
| Good JS skills and knowledge/passion for data viz. Past work with data visualization is a big plus. | |||

| Fullscreen Mode | |||
| One upcoming Firefox feature is a fullscreen mode that should provide an immersive experience. This mode will provide a streamlined interface as can be seen in this [http://people.mozilla.com/~shorlander/ux-presentation/01-Firefox-Australis-%28Windows%29-%28Fullscreen%29.jpg preliminary mockup]. Features such as a clock and other OS indicators might also be part of the project. | |||
The implementation of this feature will mostly involve three languages: XUL, CSS and JS. | |||
| Great CSS skills are important, and knowledge of XUL/flexbox is a plus. Past theme development experience would be great. | |||
