Description
Hi!
I've switched to Macos, and in setting up my workflow again I'm running into some quirks with the Firefox debugger. It all works the _first_ time like it's intended to. But as soon as I close the debug window, I notice that on Linux the debugger would automatically quit as well. But now that's not the case. When I manually stop and start the debugger, no new Firefox window gets started, and in the logging I see this message repeated:
```
