Under launch mode, a fresh Firefox instance is opened, one with no account synced and no extensions.
Is there an override or anything of some sort that lets "launch" launch a browser instance that's just like a regular launch with remote debugging enabled?

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by tracing how launch configurations create a fresh Firefox instance and handle the reAttach option; done means launch can use a regular Firefox profile with synced account state and extensions while retaining remote debugging, with the behavior covered by an appropriate test.
