Enable Usb device for remote debugging not working on firefox

Question

The firefox version im using is 106.0.2. Im trying to connect an oculus quest 2 for debugging a website project.

The problem is i press the enable usb devices button, it shows an updating status and then shows the same button again, the status remains disabled. any ideas?

also chrome's dev tools didnt work, shows my device but doesnt show the tabs hence i went to firefox.

Tried restarting, resetting adb, checking if adb works on cmd, nothing worked.

When the button is clicked in Firefox, it attempts to download and install an extension, but the URL is malformed and the request is denied with a 404, which you can see using the Firefox console (not devtools). I filed a bug report here .

You can bypass the button and enable Firefox debugging by downloading and installing the extension via drag-and-drop from the correct URL, which I determined to be https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/labs/devtools/adb-extension/linux64/adb-extension-latest-linux64.xpi
