Research direction

Start with the shown dap.adapters.firefox executable configuration and launch configuration, then reproduce the ECONNREFUSED error against port 6000. Trace the adapter connection to the Firefox debug server using the referenced adapter.bundle.js entry point; done means the supplied Nvim DAP setup launches Firefox without the connection refusal.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hey! I'm trying to debug in firefox, but every time I try running I receive this error: Error on launch: connect ECONNREFUSED ::1:6000
I verified the debug server is running on port 6000 by running lsof -i 6000 and my configuration looks like this:

dap.adapters.firefox = {
	type = "executable",
	command = "node",
	args = { os.getenv("HOME") .. "/apps/vscode-firefox-debug/dist/adapter.bundle.js" },
}

Then the launch configuration:

	{
		name = "Debug with Firefox",
		type = "firefox",
		request = "launch",
		reAttach = true,
		url = "http://localhost:3000",
		webRoot = "${workspaceFolder}",
		firefoxExecutable = "/usr/bin/firefox",
	},

I have all the necessary about:config variables set, but the connection is always refused, is there something I have to change?
