For Developers
Developers can help Mozilla by contributing code. Understanding Mozilla's development process is helpful. There are also other ways to get involved.
Build Mozilla
Get the Source, then Build It.

For Testers
Our products are what they are because of the help of people just like you who use them day to day, reporting bugs and helping us improve quality. To get involved, read about how you can help to test Mozilla.
Nightly Builds
Created most weekdays from the previous day's work, these builds may or may not work. Use them to verify that a bug you're tracking has been fixed.
We make nightly builds for testing only. We write code and post the results right away so people like you can join our testing process and report bugs. You will find bugs, and lots of them. Mozilla might crash on startup. It might delete all your files and cause your computer to burst into flames. Don't bother downloading nightly builds if you're unwilling to put up with problems.
