12-Year-Old Developer From Türkiye - Looking for Guidance on Firefox Development

Firefox Development
1

Hello,

My name is Ömer Kerim. I am 12 years old and I live in Türkiye.

I am very interested in programming, Linux, Python, C++ and browser development. I enjoy learning by building real projects.

My main projects include:

• Xenon OS – my Debian-based Linux distribution with a working ISO
• Xenonium – my own browser project
• Xenon Pad – a text/editor application
• Xenon Writer – a writing application with its own file format

GitHub:

Because I am developing my own browser project, I would really like to learn how Firefox is built and how developers contribute to a large open-source browser.

I am especially interested in browser architecture, C++, debugging, rendering, testing and beginner-friendly Firefox issues.

I am not looking for a job. I am looking for technical guidance, feedback and a suitable first contribution.

If someone could look at my GitHub and suggest where I should start in Mozilla or Firefox development, I would be very happy.

Because I am 12 years old, my father supervises my communication and participation.

Thank you!

Ömer Kerim

Good luck!
