We have `MOZ_DEBUG_CHILD_PROCESS` for e10s content processes[1]. Would
something similar (or maybe just supporting that?) be useful for the browser

Sure, I have filed bug 1495039.
* If you use WinDbg, you may start your debugging session from the
command line with the "-o" option to ensure that the debugger attaches
to all child processes. If you prefer opening your executable via the
GUI, you may select the "Debug child processes also" checkbox within the
"Open Executable" file picker.
* If you use Visual Studio, you may install the Child Process Debugging
Power Tool [3] which, once configured, will make the VS debugger
automagically attach to the launcher's child processes.
Can we make these work automatically via mozdebug so that `mach run --debug`
works directly?
Sure. I have filed bug 1495040.
