| == As of March 2020, IRC.mozilla.org has been permanently decommissioned ==
| | IRC stands for "Internet Relay Chat". It's a protocol for real-time chat sessions. (Read more [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irc about IRC on Wikipedia].) It was invented before the World Wide Web, so it was adopted by early open source contributors and Web developers, and it has been used by those communities ever since. Like email, no single company controls IRC. IRC servers are offered by many individuals and organizations. Users log in to a particular server to chat with other users on that server, using a client program designed for IRC; just as there are many programs for reading email, there are many different IRC client programs. Chat discussions take place in "channels," which have names starting with a '#' symbol. |
| | | {{Main|Mozilla IRC Server}} |
| As of 2nd March 2020, Mozilla has moved away from IRC to [[Matrix]] for its public channels and the IRC server was shut down.

| == Connection Notice ==
| |
| | |
| When you connect to our IRC server, you will get portscanned from 63.245.208.159, 63.245.212.23, or 63.245.216.214. This is an unfortunate but necessary step in order to cut down on the number of viruses and other malicious users attempting to communicate via our IRC servers. The portscan is checking for common ports used by known viruses and open proxy servers to ensure that your machine is not infected before allowing you to remain connected. By connecting to our IRC servers, you agree to have your computer portscanned by our server. If you don't like this, don't connect.
