Mozilla Web Development

Get involved with making Mozilla's web sites even better. This page lists contribution opportunities that you're welcome to work on.

While these APIs allow developers to enrich a user’s web experience, they also enable nefarious web tracking which jeopardizes user privacy. To fight abuse of these APIs Mozilla is introducing State Partitioning in Firefox 86. Stateful Web APIs in Firefox are: Storage: Cookies, Local Storage, Session Storage, Cache Storage, and IndexedDB. The site-search page is a static single-page app that sends XHR requests to the /api/v1/search endpoint. Search results' sort-order is determined by match and 'popularity'.The post How MDN’s site-search works appeared first on Mozilla Hacks - the Web developer blog. Maxthon is a new technology browser that provides technical support for blockchain apps and makes it easier for users. Maxthon kernel is more powerful, it can be compatible with Chrome addons library and you can enjoy massive extensions.

Most of the code on our sites is HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Django (Python) and you can read about how we do web development in the Webdev Bootcamp.

If you have questions or are unsure how you can help, just ask on the webdev forum (to sign up to the forum as a mailing list, go to lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-webdev) or IRC in #webdev or talk to @potch, @groovecoder or @r1cky on Twitter.
