[REGRESSION]: no longer able to connect to FF using webExt (for testing extension)

See original GitHub issue

Context:

GOOD Playwright Version: [what Playwright version worked nicely?] 1.3.0
BAD Playwright Version: [what Playwright version doesn’t work any more?] 1.4.1
Operating System: [e.g. Windows, Linux or Mac] Linux & Mac

Am no longer able to connect to a firefox launched by webext as per: https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/2644#issuecomment-647842059

I note that Firefox has been upgraded from 78 to 80 from Playwright 1.3.0 to 1.4.1 (edit: I tried launching a copy of the 1.3.0 bundle of FF v78 and it was still unable to connect)

Never get to the complete part:

    debug('connecting to %s', jugglerEndpoint)
    const ff = await firefox.connect({
      wsEndpoint: jugglerEndpoint
    })
    debug('complete')

Given you guys maintain patches of browsers, would it be possible to patch FF itself to load an extension via the command line upon launch? That may be easier than trying to get web-ext to work with the new juggler replacement. Would you accept a PR for this?

What a bummer! But understood 😃

Hope you guys revisit this
