There are many ways to volunteer with the Mozilla project and to help spread the word about Firefox:
- If you're a developer, you can help fix bugs, or add cool new features as extensions.
- If you're a security expert, help us find security vulnerabilities before they became a problem - and get a $500 bounty!
- If you're a tech-savvy users, you can help test our software, file and help organize bugs or contact web sites that don't work with Mozilla software
- ... and if you're passionate about Firefox and want to help spread the word, then you've come to the right place.
SpreadFirefox is the home of a number of volunteer projects that, combined, make up the bulk of the Firefox marketing effort. Here are some of our volunteer teams. When contacting one of these volunteer teams, make sure to tell us about your background, why you're interested in joining the team, how you'd like to contribute and how much time you have available to help out.
