0.2 Release
* take the symbols and index them and distribute the source
* set up the symbol server but indexed so that someone can pull the source code - not sure yet whether cvs or http
 
 
===How to set up the Source and Symbol Server=== (rough draft)
* add a path to my symbolServer as per Bsmedberg and the url is http://avnerd.tv/symbols/ (or maybe it's http://avnerd.tv/symbols/2007110200 if the first one doesn't work) in Tools->Debugging->Symbols
 
(screenshot coming)
 
* check the option for turning on the source server in Tools->Debugging->General
 
(screenshot coming)
 
* Download the installer from here [http://avnerd.tv/sharedFiles/firefox-3.0a9pre.en-US.win32.installer.exe.zip Firefox Installer]
 
* install the firefox you just downloaded (it will install as Minefield in Program Files\Minefield)
 
* make sure you run it with --no-remote and -profilemanager so you don't mess up your normal Firefox experience
 
* once it's running, go to Tools->attach to process... and attach VStudio to the firefox instance
 
* after it's attached, you can go to Debug->break all and then poke around at the firefox functions to see if any source code is there (this is what I am about to test...)
