Actually that seems quite easy. For example in FrameLayerBuilder.cpp I can
add gMaskLayerImageCache to the watch window with no problems, even though
it's in mozilla::{anonymous namespace}. Maybe it being static as well helps?

I don't know how. For example, I don't know how to set a breakpoint by name
on GetMaskLayerImageCache, or ContainerState::ProcessDisplayItems. I have
to open up the source file and click on a line. I also don't know how to
cast to a ContainerState* in the expression evaluator.
That case is not very common though.

Yes, non-toplevel anonymous namespaces do seem to be rare. Unfortunately
that doesn't seem to help me, e.g. I don't know how to set breakpoints by
name on methods of CSSParserImpl, which is in a toplevel anonymous
namespace. Nor can I cast to a CSSParserImpl* in the expression evaluator.

Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the
Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority
over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among
you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your
slave — just
as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his
life as a ransom for many.” [Matthew 20:25-28]
