Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported command, https://localhost:8080, and Firefox 120 on the listed macOS and linux-arm64 setup. Compare the certificate behavior with Safari and inspect the code-server certificate path; done means Firefox can open the instance or provides the expected way to proceed.
