Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the provided VS Code launch and attach configurations in Firefox and compare the behavior with Chrome Attach. Trace how a logpoint is handled by the Firefox debug adapter and console, and consider the issue complete when a logpoint set in VS Code produces its message in the Firefox browser console.

Description

needs more info

Hi,
I have this

	"configurations": [
		{
			"name": "Launch Firefox Dev Edition",
			"type": "firefox",
			"request": "launch",
			"reAttach": true,
			"url": "http://localhost:4200",
			"firefoxExecutable": "/home/dev/firefox-dev/firefox",
			"webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}",
			"profile": "dev-edition-debug",
			"keepProfileChanges": true,
			"pathMappings": [
				{
					"url": "webpack:///src",
					"path": "${workspaceFolder}/src"
				}
			]
		}
	]

The breakpoint work well but if i set a logpoint this is not displayed in browser console.
I tried with firefox developer edition (v104) firefox (v103) firefox (v100.0.2) both in launch and in attach request with the same behavior.

I also tried with Chrome Attach and the logpoints are displayed in chrome console.
