Mozilla tags some Firefox (and other Mozilla projects’) bug reports as “good first bug” and adds a mentor to the bug.

Volunteer contributors can search these bugs by programming language or product area on https://codetribute.mozilla.org

Some volunteer contributors have become Mozilla employees (myself included :)
