Research direction

Start by tracing how the debugger handles the runtimeArgs option and Firefox launch configuration. Compare the requested CORS behavior with the existing Chrome and MSEdge examples in the issue, then establish whether Firefox supports an equivalent setting and document a verified outcome.

Description

Hi,

I can launch Chrome or MSEdge with runtimeArgs: ["--disable-web-security"].

With this flag CORS is allowed and I need this for development.

How do I do the same with the Firefox debugger?
