Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the comparison with the Firefox and Chrome launch configurations and inspect the bound breakpoint behavior; done means Firefox pauses at the breakpoint and allows stepping, or the failure has a clear diagnostic.

Description

Hi all. I have essentially the same launch config for Firefox and Chrome with a breakpoint set. Chrome does the expected and throws me back to VS Code where I can step through the code. Firefox loads the page completely without hitting the breakpoint. The breakpoint shows up as a proper bound red dot for both. Nothing is showing up in my console log to indicate why this could be happening.
