Beginner - simple question.
TJ
I just downloaded source solution of mozilla-1.9.1.
Just would like to start playing around the source code to research....
I understand that there is no MS Visual Studio project file to build
Mozilla..
For window user,what kind of IDE tool is generally being used to work on
this Firefox mozilla source code?..
I meant...when people modifies source code, do they simply use like Notepad?
Any way I can load up this mozilla solution onto MS Visual Studio 2008 for
easy navigation and coding/editing,
though I need mozilla-build for build process?
Thank you in advance.

I know that I can use any IDE/editor.
I would prefer use MS Visual Studio 2008 IDE, if possible.
When you open a VS solution, you can use Soution Explorer Window/Class View
window. You can navgiate easily based on project.
Do I need to create new solution in VS IDE, then add every source file of
mozilla into that solution manually?
Any simple way to load entire the mozilla solution set onto Visual Studio
IDE?
Thanks,

I am not sure. I only use the debugger. Try connectiong to mozilla irc and asking in #developers.

https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Developer_Guide/Build_Instructions/Windows_Prerequisites
need the proper MSVS and SDK per instructions, then build it per
https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Developer_Guide/Build_Instructions
then in MSVS make a project on the resulting debug build exe file.
And in between time read rest of the
https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Developer_Guide and check with IRC to
solve the gotcha's.
