Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing VSCode Firefox debugger extension and the requirements for a Visual Studio 2022 extension. Determine how the debugger functionality would be exposed in VS2022 and verify that web apps can be launched and debugged with Firefox as the default browser.

Description

enhancement

Since 2022 support for cli tools have been added to VS 2022.
I've been using it to build and debug my web apps for a while now.

I'd like to use my default browser (firefox) to debug. Unfortunately this plugin is currently only available for VSCode.

I don't think it requires a massive amount of work to port it to a VS2022 extension. Would love to see this.
