Hi,
I'm Josh, one of the C++ developers on the Platform team. Glad to hear from you!

To get started with the codebase, have a look at
http://developer.mozilla.org/En/Introduction. If you'd like to use
Java, you can get involved with the Mobile Firefox project, which uses
it to create the UI on Android devices. See
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Get_Involved for more information.

If you need any help, you can obtain it on IRC. I recommend visiting
#introduction, which is specifically for newcomers. See
http://irc.mozilla.org for how to access it.

Feel free to contact me anytime if you're having any problems! I'm jdm
on IRC, or just josh@joshmatthews.net.

Happy hacking,
Josh

Absolutely! The document you should read is https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G. More specifically, if you're into C++ then you're probably interested in working on the device APIs we're developing (stuff like proximity sensors, SMS capabilities, etc.), while if you're into JS, you can also work on the UI, called Gaia: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Gaia.

Cheers,
Josh
