I don't know of one.

It's not that it's busted per se, it's that it attaches the debugger to the parent process. Which is not very helpful, in most cases. What would be ideal (at least on unixy systems) is if we managed to detect the child process starting and popped up an instance of $TERM or so, with a debugger running in it and attached to the child.

I also forgot to mention that command defaults are likely coming soon,
so once bug 1255450 lands you'll be able to make a .machrc with:

[defaults]
mochitest = --disable-e10s

Ah, nice. Still, I agree it would be good to be testing e10s if we can make the debugging experience there better.
