Direzione di ricerca

Inizia con le configurazioni launch.json segnalate e l’impostazione firefox.executable di VS Code, quindi riproduci il malfunzionamento di Run and Debug usando il percorso di Firefox Developer Edition su Windows. Il lavoro è completato quando l’estensione accetta l’eseguibile configurato e avvia Firefox oppure vi si connette senza l’errore segnalato.

launch.json Changes

I've changed my launch.json to include "firefoxExecutable": "C:\\Program Files\\Firefox Developer Edition\\firefox.exe" in all configurations.

VS Code Settings Changes

I've changed the following VS Code settings to point to my Firefox path:

  • firefox.executable ("C:\Program Files\Firefox Developer Edition\firefox.exe")
  • workbench.externalBrowser ("C:\Program Files\Firefox Developer Edition\firefox.exe")
Image

All of the "firefoxExecutable" entries are correct. My system's Firefox installation is at C:\Program Files\Firefox Developer Edition\firefox.exe.

Firefox about:config Changes

I changed the following values in about:config in FF:

  • devtools.debugger.remote-enabled to true
  • devtools.chrome.enabled to true

Help Request

After all of these edits, I still cannot debug from the "RUN AND DEBUG" window. Still getting the Couldn't find the Firefox executable. Please correct the path given in your launch configuration. error.

Can someone explain to me the correct way to configure this plugin so I can debug with FF Dev Edition?

I have no clue why it's not working.

Thank you in advance for any help at all.
