Description
I'm trying to debug my nextjs app with Firefox.
I managed to debug it with chrome.
The error is that firefox can't find the files.
I already tried to add pathMappings but that is a lot to do and it still does not find components that are used inside these mappings.
Besides that: the chrome extension does not need these path mappings.

With the specified pathMappings I can set breakpoints in `index.tsx`

Research direction
Start with the linked nextjs-firefox-debug-demo repository and reproduce the breakpoint failure using the Firefox configuration in launch.json. Compare breakpoint and source-file resolution for pages/index.tsx and nested components with Firefox versus Chrome, then verify that Firefox resolves the relevant files without extensive pathMappings.
