Re-run visual studio (or WinDbg if you prefer) using your existing source server settings, attach to firefox.exe. After the symbols have been loaded, switch to the call stack.

For further proof, right click on the nsBaseAppShell.cpp tab and select Open Containing Folder. You should see a location similar to the following:
