The purpose of the MozillaZine Knowledge Base is to help gather support, resources, hints, tips and answers to FAQs (frequently asked questions) for Mozilla products, all in one place. Anyone can contribute, so feel free to help!

However, if you have any comments/problems/issues related to Mozilla Products, please do not post them here! Rather, post them in the MozillaZine Forums. The Knowledge Base is intended to provide factual information about Mozilla products for users and developers. As such, the general situation is that questions are asked in the forums, and when a suitable answer has been provided then this information is written up in the Knowledge Base. These resources are the result of community effort! If you have had your question answered in the forums, show your appreciation by writing the answer up in the Knowledge Base :-)

Because this Knowledge Base is a wiki, you are free to modify existing articles, and to create brand new ones. However, be sure to read the rules for contributing, and learn how to edit pages. To begin, you will need to log in or create a new account.

Read the original MozillaZine post announcing the Knowledge Base's creation.
