How I added a feature to Firefox

A lot has been said about writing your first patch, but how about adding a new feature?

  • What's the impact that volunteer contributors can have in innovating the browser?
  • Who is going to work with you and what's your role as a developer?
  • What can you do to ensure the work you start will be completed?

We'll talk about these topics using the Firefox Downloads Panel as a real-world example.
