If you have a question about developing Firefox, and can't find the solution
on https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/, you can try asking your question on Matrix at chat.mozilla.org in `Introduction` (https://chat.mozilla.org/#/room/#introduction:mozilla.org) channel.
Nightly development builds can be downloaded from:

Keep in mind that nightly builds, which are used by Firefox developers for
testing, may be buggy.

This method could early return for all primitive types as they already are "debuggee values". Then, when we have non primitives, getGlobalForObject should work and reliably return the value's global. The global is needed as Debugger.Object's makeDebuggeeValue only works for objects of the same global. There is just this edgecase around object coming from globals which are flagged as "invisible to debugger". We might want to return a special debuggee value instead of trying to instantiate this special Debugger.Object which mostly throws... I've also updated and added meaningful comments to clarify all this code. Differential Revision: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D174040
