Remote Debugging Cursor not visible in vscode.

Version 2.2.0 of the debug adapter supports remote development. Please try it out and tell me if it works for you.

@hbenl I can set and hit a breakpoint in vscode in a JS file, this shows in the vscode debugging toolbar, as well as the firefox debugger, while I can Step Over or Step In using either the vscode debugging toolbar or the firefox debugger -- I can only see where what line the cursor is on in the firefox debugger -- I can't see what line the cursor is on in the vscode JS file.

The vscode instance is running in a .devcontainer, while the firefox browser (firefox -start-debugger-server -dev-tools) is running on the host (my laptop).

{
            // https://github.com/firefox-devtools/vscode-firefox-debug
            // Before attaching, start Firefox from a host terminal using the following:
            // firefox -start-debugger-server -dev-tools
            "name": "Firefox: attach localhost:5000",
            "type": "firefox",
            "request": "attach",
            "url": "http://localhost:5000",
            "webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}/application"
}

I tried this with a fresh Angular CLI app on Linux and it worked, so I need some more information about your setup: what platform you're on (Windows/Mac/Linux) and some info about your project, in particular if you are using Create-React-App, Angular CLI or Vue CLI, or (if you're not using any of those but are using a bundler like webpack) your bundler configuration.
