Having this in your portfolio is not a way to succeed in HR interviews, it is a way to bypass them totally.

Are you saying that having previous Open-Source contributions to Mozilla in the portfolio would mean you're not going to have a chance with a job there?

edit: I'd love to be wrong here. Feel free to correct me instead of just downvoting.

GP was saying that you can avoid talking to the useless HR drones and get in touch with someone more technical at the company, and have them recommend you for a position, based on your contributions.
