I was pleasantly surprised to find out that both Mozilla and Google have public debug symbol servers <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Using_the_Mozilla_symbol_server">for Firefox</a> and <a href="http://dev.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/debugging">for Chrome</a>. I added the Mozilla and Google symbol servers to our symbol proxy server list.</p>
