'Debugger for Firefox' VSCode Extension shows error 'cannot find profile development'


When launching firefox through a VSCode debug configuration, an error message appears: cannot find profile development and firefox doesn't launch. This is in a WSL remote window with Ubuntu 22.04. Firefox Developer Edition is installed on the host. It doesn't have a profile called 'development'.


Solution

  • Open about:profiles in Firefox (type that into the address bar and go to that page) and create a new profile called development.
