Hi there,

My name's Jack Murphy. I have a recommendation for a feature on Firefox, but I'm also building my portfolio as an entry-level software engineer.

So, the improvement Firefox needs to make is that a special character needs to be inserted in the 'randomised password' feature. It's a very useful feature, but more websites are requiring a special character alongside uppercase/lowercase letters, and numbers. For a couple of websites now I've had to add in a special character myself to the auto-generated password, and then save the result.

It would be quite an easy fix. I would love to get involved in making that fix, if the relevant part is open-source. However, as there are security considerations, it might not be....

If not it's still worth getting in touch!

All the best, Jack Murphy

p.s what other ways are there for an early-career software developer to get involved with mozilla? (UK based)

Hi there,

No I didn't, but I can't see where I would post it on that website?

You could help out with patches and such for Firefox in bugzilla.mozilla.org

Firefox always shows the generated password and you can add special characters yourself if necessary or required, that is how it currently is supposed to work.
