Description
Hello, Team!
When trying to start a debug session in VSCode, I get an error message:
[UnhelpfulMessageWhenStartingDebugger](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1839739/208429606-f3895342-3cba-4d6c-b1ce-77301341624d.gif)
I did not set any additional breakpoints in my program. My problem is that it does not tell anything about what I did wrong. Can you please improve on this?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the debug session in VSCode and inspect where the DOMException is surfaced by the Firefox debug adapter. Trace the error-handling path to determine what context is available, then verify that the displayed message explains the failure rather than remaining unhelpful.
