Using The Mozilla Source Server

Using the Mozilla source server is now even more feature-packed. The nightly debug builds are now also Source Indexed so that by following a couple of simple steps you can also have the source code served to you for debugging without a local build.

What you’ll need

• WinDbg or Visual Studio (not Code)

• A nightly build; go to the /pub/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/ folder and grab the installer

Set up symbols

Follow the instructions for Using the Mozilla symbol server. Once the symbol path is set you must now enable Source Server.

Using the source server in WinDbg

In the WinDbg command line, type .srcfix and hit enter. This enables source server support.

Using the source server in Visual Studio

Enable source server support under Tools -> Options. Also, disable (uncheck) the box that says “Require source files to exactly match the original version”.
