Attach firefox debugger doesn't work

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying the “Running Firefox Debugger” debug configuration, unsuccessfully so far (the configuration get stuck at initializing)

My file

<html>
<head>
<script type="application/javascript">
function foo() {
    console.log("hey");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button onclick="foo()">Touch me!</button>
</body>
</html>

Then, in CLI firefox --start-debugger-server 9229, in the new firefox window open the HTML file. From the IDE, create a “Running Firefox Debugger” debug configuration for localhost on port 9229, Launch => attaching debugger is stuck.
