Description

Issue Type: Performance Issue

When I installed the Debugger for Firefox 2.9.1 from Visual Studio Code, it appears in the list of the available Debugging environments, but when I start a debugging session it seems to stop without any error message.

Extension version: 2.9.1
VS Code version: Code 1.51.1 (e5a624b788d92b8d34d1392e4c4d9789406efe8f, 2020-11-10T23:34:32.027Z)
OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.18363

Research direction

Reproduce a debugging session using Firefox Debugger 2.9.1, VS Code 1.51.1, and Windows 10, then inspect the extension's available diagnostics for why the session stops silently. Done means identifying a reproducible cause and making the session start successfully, or documenting actionable failure evidence if the problem cannot be reproduced.
