Research direction
Start with the project's VS Code debugger configuration and the .vscode/launch.json mentioned in the report. Reproduce the attach and launch attempts with Firefox, Firefox Nightly, and Firefox Developer Edition on Windows, then determine where connection failures and logs are exposed. Done means the multiple-installation behavior and relevant error output are established.

Description
Hi,
I have Firefox, Firefox Nightly, and Firefox Developer edition installed on my Windows dev machine, Firefox is the default browser. I've created a .vscode/launch.json in the root directory of my JavaScript project.
I start my Kestrel web server in Visual Studio and it launches Firefox Developer Edition. I then hit the Run and Debug button in attach mode in Visual Studio Code, but it doesn't attach. If I try launch mode it launches a new instance of Firefox Developer Edition, but it still doesn't connect.
I'm not seeing any error messages either, but where would they be logged?
