Línea de trabajo

Empieza con las configuraciones launch.json indicadas y el ajuste de VS Code firefox.executable, y después reproduce el fallo de Run and Debug usando la ruta de Firefox Developer Edition en Windows. Se considera terminado cuando la extensión acepta el ejecutable configurado e inicia Firefox o se conecta a Firefox sin el error indicado.

Descripción

Overview of the Problem

I can't get RUN AND DEBUG to work. It says it can't find my firefox executable:

launch.json Changes

I've changed my launch.json to include "firefoxExecutable": "C:\\Program Files\\Firefox Developer Edition\\firefox.exe" in all configurations.

launch.json Content

   // Firefox debug configurations for the "Debugger for Firefox" extension
   // (firefox-devtools.vscode-firefox-debug).
   //
   // Pick a configuration from the Run and Debug dropdown, then press F5.

VS Code Settings Changes

I've changed the following VS Code settings to point to my Firefox path:

  • firefox.executable ("C:\Program Files\Firefox Developer Edition\firefox.exe")
  • workbench.externalBrowser ("C:\Program Files\Firefox Developer Edition\firefox.exe")
Image

All of the "firefoxExecutable" entries are correct. My system's Firefox installation is at C:\Program Files\Firefox Developer Edition\firefox.exe.

Firefox about:config Changes

I changed the following values in about:config in FF:

  • devtools.debugger.remote-enabled to true
  • devtools.chrome.enabled to true

Help Request

After all of these edits, I still cannot debug from the "RUN AND DEBUG" window. Still getting the Couldn't find the Firefox executable. Please correct the path given in your launch configuration. error.

Can someone explain to me the correct way to configure this plugin so I can debug with FF Dev Edition?

I have no clue why it's not working.

Thank you in advance for any help at all.
