Never looked at the Mozilla source code myself, mostly do web
development related work.

There is the Mozilla Documentation project
(http://www.mozilla.org/contribute/writing/), but I feel more would
improve it if was a lot easier to contribute (with Mozilla when you
click 'edit this page' at the bottom of the page, the whole page is
edited rather than just the content). Just go to
http://www.mozilla.org/docs/dom/domref/ (which is what web developers
are really interested in, not sure who maintains it)

It seems far too general though. Commenting on documentation is often
useful as well (as people post quirks they have found).

Example: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.php

MySQL has well developed documentation (that is also searchable):
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/index.html

With Mozilla you search the site using Google, and that searches
everything (when all you may want to do is search Web Development
related information).

You can get a list of styles with a bit of JavaScript (styles start at
azimuth), but from that you can't see how to use them, and what they
are for.
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var div = document.createElement("div");
document.write("<ul>");
for (i in div.style)
{
 document.write("<li>");
 document.write(i);
 document.write("</li>");
}
document.write("</ul>");
//-->
</script>
