Mozilla 编辑

The articles below include content about downloading and building Mozilla code. In addition, you'll find helpful articles about how the code works, how to build add-ons for Mozilla applications and the like.

Add-ons

Add-ons allow developers to extend and modify the functionality of Firefox.

Developer guide

There are lots of ways to contribute to the Mozilla project: coding, testing, improving the build process and tools, or contributing to the documentation. This guide provides information that will not only help you get started as a Mozilla contributor, but that you'll find useful to refer to even if you are already an experienced contributor.

Firefox

Here you can learn about how to contribute to the Firefox project and you will also find links to information about the construction of Firefox add-ons, using the developer tools in Firefox, and other topics.

Virtualenv

virtualenv is software for isolating python package environments (e.g. import paths). It is written by Mozilla's own Ian Bicking. Creating a virtualenv installs setuptools (or optionally distribute) into the virtual environment. It is recommended that you use virtualenv for installing anything other than system software that you are working on.  You will obviate the need to have access to your system packages and you won't mess up your system packages with whatever code you install into the site-packages directory of the virtualenv.  site-packages should mostly be for system-installed python and not python that you are installing as a user.
