Is there a Firefox project for Visual Studio or Eclipse?

Is there a Firefox project for Visual Studio 2017 (or another IDE like Eclipse) which will allow me to build Firefox from source code and debug it? I.e., set breakpoints, single-step, modify code, rebuild, etc.?

That's beyond the scope of this support forum, but here's a page to get you started:

Thanks very much for your response. Was hoping for a specific answer to the question. Want to avoid building my own Visual Studio project if it's already been done.

The answer is out there. It just isn't here. ;-)

Check the MDN site for developer support links.

Thanks much. I've Googled quite a bit, but found nothing.
