I followed ctaggart’s workaround (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/75579) and was able to resolve this issue.

1. Remove and purge the current installation sudo apt remove code --purge
2. Download and install the deb package from https://code.visualstudio.com/download sudo apt install ./<vscodefile>.deb

I get the same issue, but whats interesting is that if i open a link within VSC ( such as if you click on the Settings Docs from the extension page ) it opens a new Firefox window, then when I start live server it opens perfectly in a new tab in that new Firefox window.
