Research direction

Reproduce the breakpoint behavior in VS Code with Firefox Developer Edition v102.0b3, then compare it with Firefox stable v101.0 using the same setup. Trace the TypeScript VS Code debug adapter to identify where the two Firefox versions differ; done means verified breakpoints are hit in Developer Edition as they are in stable.

Description

I am able to set and have verified breakpoints in VS Code. The breakpoints are hit correctly in VS Code while using Firefox stable (v101.0 64-bit) but not when using Firefox Developer Edition (v102.0b3 64-bit).
