The first step is to open VS.NET 2005 and then do File > Open > Project/Solution.... This will start the Open Dialog, and you should navigate to firefox.exe located in the dist\bin directory within the objdir you specified in .mozconfig (e.g., mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/firefox-objdir). [NOTE: for me that's C:\proj\mozilla\firefox-objdir\dist\bin\firefox.exe]
