About

The Firemonger Project is a Spread Firefox project, which provides a way for anyone to give Firefox and Thunderbird to their friends and family, on an easy to use CD. The CD contains the installers for Firefox and Thunderbird, along with a selection of some of the best themes, plugins, extensions and utilities for these two free programs. Users are guided through the installation and have the opportunity to read Firemongers easy to understand quick-start guides, as well as install extras such as themes and extensions. Although we are aimed at novice and intermediate computer users, advanced users often find Firemonger is an easy way of installing Firefox on multiple computers so its great for everyone!

Firemonger is completely free to download and does not contain any malicious or invasive programs such as spyware or adware (this has been confirmed by softpedia).

The best way to contact us is here in the forums. We reply promptly to all posts and you don't even need to register. Alternatively, email bugs AT firemonger DOT org.

Contribute

We're always looking to get more people involved, but what can you do? First of all, take a look at the forums. You don't need technical skills to contribute to this project. If you are able to type and read English and you can speak/type an other langauge than English you can help translating Firemonger. If you only speak English don't be disappointed, you can still contribute. Please post on the forums.

How does translating Firemonger work?

We use a web based translation system. This makes it very easy to translate Firemonger. You do not need any knowledge of HTML, javascript or any other language. You just need to be able to type your own langauge! All your changes are automatically committed to CVS (our development system), so that they can be used in the next version of Firemonger.

What about translating the website?

The website also has a web based Content Manager to easily add or change the content. You will get an account to login and you can start translating.

What if my language is already being translated?

Get in touch anyway! It is easier if you work together. Maybe the current translator does not have so much time. Or maybe there is no translator any more. If the team is too big already, we will store your contact details and contact you if we need your help.In the meantime you can translate extensions and themes! Firemonger currently includes some English extensions in translated Firemonger versions. We would love it if you helped extension developers, as this helps Firemonger and everyone else who uses the extensions in our selection. Visit Babelzilla, let the l10n localize your world!
