Run Firefox 1.5 in Debug mode

Written By Yi Shen.

Introduction

I previously wrote how to build Firefox in Windows, and here I was work on how to run firefox 1.5 in debug mode by Visual Studio 2003 debuger and better understand how certain things work.

Required

  1. Firefox 1.5 already build on Windows
  2. Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 installed

Instructions

First we need open the firefix project in Visual Studio:

File>Open>Project...

This will start the Open Project Dialog and you should navigate to your firefox.exe directory, for me it is:

C:\proj\mozilla\hopefullyWorked.firefox.optimized\dist\bin
