VSCodium can't open browser window

[Nasko-5]

Issue Type: Bug

My os is ZorinOS 16.1, I have firefox 100.0.2 and VSCodium 1.67

When an extention tries to open my browser it'll crash saying there's an input/output error and an extra mozzila crash reporter window.

As for replicating the issue, i don't really know what's causing it..

VS Code version: VSCodium 1.67.2 (c3511e6c69bb39013c4a4b7b9566ec1ca73fc4d5, 2022-05-19T00:31:55.273Z) OS version: Linux x64 5.13.0-41-generic snap Restricted Mode: No

I might be having the same (a similar?) problem on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. When I try to debug in firefox I get the error: "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible."

I think in my case it is due to sandboxing done by snap. firefox: 100.0.2-1 (snap) VS Codium 1.67.2 (snap, classic)

I assume codium tries to create an empty firefox profile, which fails because of sandboxing. As a quick workaround I tried to install firefox with the --classic flag in snap, but snap told me this will be ignored. (Warning: flag --classic ignored for strictly confined snap firefox). And I like my browser sandboxed in any case.

As a work around I currently use chromium to debug, which still is installed in classic mode.

Edit: if I start codium with --remote-debugging-port=9222 and use in launch.json:

 {
            "name": "Attach to Chrome",
            "port": 9222,
            "request": "attach",
            "type": "chrome",
            "url": "http://localhost:4200",
            "webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}"
},

I can at least debug for now.

The above work around stopped working for me.

But using this guide https://github.com/firefox-devtools/vscode-firefox-debug#attach I was able to configure the firefox dev edition and attach the debugger to it. Only that the correct flag under linux is:

firefox --start-debugger-server
