Not meaning to sound rude, but how many times are you going to ask questions like this??? You've been registered here for years, and asking programming questions that long now...have you made ZERO progress in all that time??

Sounds like you've been given lots of advice already. Now you just need to *DO* something.

What are your skills? What CAN you do? Without knowing that it's hard to give any advice. You need to contact the Firefox team and find out what they need help with, and evaluate that against what you can do.

I'm not developer and It was not my question.

Hi,

i don't know about your skill, but maybe you could start to collaborate on little projects that you can find on github/Bitbucket/Google Code/etc.
Because if you know as fasten the screw, it doesn't mean that you can fix a space probe ;)

Then why ask questions about developing? And didn't you say in your very first post: "I want to become a developer"?? You've also said you are a developer, know C++, etc., in several of your other threads, dating back to 2009. Both statements can't be true...

Then why did you post it?

All information you need is already available here. Simply repeatedly asking that you want to contribute in firefox project and want to become a developer is not enough, but you have to take some steps ahead in that direction. Let's know if you are stuck somewhere or facing any issues.

Here is a list of skill you need to contribute in this project (see here).

And irrespective of what programming language you know, you will be given an opportunity to develope the code in language you know very well (see here).
