Celebrating our top contributors on Firefox’s 20th anniversary
Quoting: Celebrating our top contributors on Firefox’s 20th anniversary – The Mozilla Support Blog —
Firefox was built by a group of passionate developers, and has been supported by a dedicated community of caring contributors since day one.
The SUMO platform was originally built in 2007 to provide an open-source community support channel for users, and to help us collaborate more effectively with our volunteer contributors.
Over the years, SUMO has become a powerful platform that helps users get the most out of Firefox, provides opportunities for users to connect and learn more from each other, and allows us to gather important insights – all powered by our community of contributors.
SUMO is not just a support platform but a place where other like-minded users, who care about making the internet a better place for everyone, can find opportunities to grow their skills and contribute.
Our contributor community has been integral to Firefox’s success. Contributors humanize the experience across our support channels, champion meaningful fixes and changes, and help us onboard the next generation of Firefox users (and potential contributors!).
