How to get started?
- It depends on what you would like to involve:
- to discuss or have more communication with Firefox OS team. We suggest you to talk with us:
- to talk with us via IRC.
- to subscribe mailing lists.
- to join Firefox OS meetings.
- to contribute to Firefox OS.
- to discuss or have more communication with Firefox OS team. We suggest you to talk with us:
Engineering topics
Overview
- Overview of architecture.
- All information about Firefox OS platform.
- Customization guidelines.
- Here you will see what can be customized and how to do it.
- Build Configuration/Settings :
- If you are generating your own builds,you must have MOZILLA_OFFICIAL=1 set in the environment while building to get the crash reporter enabled at run time. Having crash reporter enabled will us fix any instability issues and is an absolute blocker bug if not enabled for final production partner build. (see bug 881431)
- To make those crash reports useful, you also need to [upload build symbols to our servers].
- Release channel should be set to release-<vendor>, e.g. release-zte, depending on the vendor that generates builds. Note that this is the same as update channel. If different (gecko) binaries are created for different regions, the region should be appended as well, e.g. release-zte-spain (or similar, the important point is release-<something> for release builds and different channel names for individual builds that could be on the same device).
How to debug?
- Debugging:
- Debug symbols
- As a third-party releasing your own builds of Firefox or Firefox OS, you should consider uploading debug symbols from the builds to Mozilla's symbol server. Here you will know how to upload symbols to Mozilla symbol server.
How to contribute?
How to write an app?
- Writing a web app for Firefox OS
- The guideline to develop HTML 5 Web Apps for an open marketplace
- A quick start to write a hosted app.
- Here you will know how to run the Firefox OS simulator.
- Here you can validate your app either in hosted app or package app.
- Updating apps including hosted apps and package apps.
- Media query consists of a media type and at least one expression that limits the style sheets' scope by using media features, such as width, height, and color. Media queries, added in CSS3, let the presentation of content be tailored to a specific range of output devices without having to change the content itself.
- Moz-Pay API: The goal of this API is to enable web content to collect payment (or issue a refund) for a virtual good via the navigator.mozPay() function.
How to bug triage?
QA testing
How to test Firefox OS?
How to submit bugs to us?
- Here is the template to submit a bug to Bugzilla. Please follow this template and submit bugs on Mozilla's Bugzilla system. Or partners can also submit bugs in this page.
