Information given in this section is also relevant for code reviewers from Mozila, Google etc.

1. get the source code Unless you haven't received the source code already: check out the git repo on github. (as mozilla reviewer you might have received a copy of the code and don't need to checkout the repo)

2. install dependencies

   yarn install
   

3. build

   yarn run build
   

Now you've got the bundle as shipped in the extension.
