The one problem I have is that the compressed pd_ inside this file seems to be missing the path to download the source (pdbstr -r -p:xul.pdb -s:srcsrv runned on the decompressed version shows no output, symchk /v xul.dll both had the border effect of decompressing the pd_ and telling you where the resulting pdb is). Now, there's a .sym file on the side of .pd_ file that seems to contain the source info. I don't know if dbg dll are supposed to interpret it. Windbg 6.9.0003.113 doesn't at least. Finally the easiest was to extract the SourceStamp and SourceRepository from application.ini and use them to ask hg to provide the whole source package as a zip file ( $SourceRepository/file/$SourceStamp , click on zip) So it seems that the symbol are *not* in the symbol server, but are inside the firefox-3.7a2pre.en-US.win32.crashreporter-symbols.zip together with the debug builds.

A further great step would be debug and alpha build that can run parallel to vanilla ones so that one wouldn't have to quit Firefox to use them. This is nice and useful.
