=Conclusion=
From my My Firefox build experience is a little disappointed. Because I did not experience much in building Mozilla Firefox, I have learned the value of working in a communitybuild stage. I wouldn't have successfully built one was wishing to hit on more bugs than now, however, a lot of classmate already done the world's biggest projects hadn't build, so by listening to their mistake, I met [[User:Sancus|Sancus]] in irc://ircavoided to do the same mistake they make and get thru the build too easily.mozilla.org/#seneca who gave me some pointers. The [http://forums.mozillazine.org Mozilla forums] I learned a lesson that if there are definitely helpful too, especially when the postings people giving instruction and discussions regard to did the same problem thing before and tell you about their experience, it helps you're encounteringa lot. Not only have I made a friendHence, in order to contribute to other people is always document your experience, I've also successfully built one of the world's biggest projects and so that when others have stepped my foot in the Mozilla community. This similar situation, they can take your experience is definitely an eye-openeras a guide.
 <big><b>Lessons learned:</b></big> You have to start somewhere. By starting means actually <b>doing it</b>! Don't be intimidated. It might seem overwhelming but there are resources to help Also, if you go through that phase. Don't ever think that contributing need to Mozilla is out of install your realm of ability. If there is a will, there is a way!  The Mozilla guys/(girls?) are always there to help you. Get a copy of [http://chatzilla.hacksrus.com/ Chatzilla] or whichever IRC client you prefer and meet them online in these channels irc://irc.mozilla.org/#seneca, irc://irc.mozilla.org/#developers, irc://irc.mozilla.org/#firefox. A start would be outlining your problem in the main of the channel. Be sure to be <b>concise</b> and someone will reply you on the main or in a private chat. However, try solving the problem first before you consult anyone for help.  Don't outsmart anyone who tries Windows to help you. Insteaddo build, just listen and consult a few people at the same leave yourself more time to compare which solution is most feasible. As Because the saying goes, you'll never learn if you don't failWindows set up takes forever. So maybe failing is sometimes a positive outlook to a problem! Contribute and transfer your knowledge by documenting what you went through with a problem and how you solved it. Making a contribution feels really good, trust me. Don't underestimate your ability, you'll never know till you try it! And last of all <b>give credits to those who contributed to your project (even if it is trivial)</b>! Thank you, time for some ice cream now!
