Description
when trying to launch the debugger, after a while I get the message `Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.` and then the message `Error launching configuration \n connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:6000`
I first tried to specify the profile directory via `profileDir` but got the same message. Then I try to specify the name of the profile but I get this message in the console
```
Debugging session ended unexpectedly
Debugging ended
```
Could you help me how to solve this behavior?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the debugger launch with both profileDir and profile-name settings, then inspect the console output around the Firefox profile error and ECONNREFUSED connection. Done means the launch configuration connects successfully and the debugging session remains active.
