Thanks Nick! The Firefox Debugger is currently developed in Github and checked into mozilla-central as a bundle [1]. Adding Node to mozilla build would let us check-in the Debugger's src directory and avoid landing bundles. This will help our workflow as well as release engineering, qa, and internal engineers who want to land patches to the debugger or share functionality.
