Problem

When I edit the code and reload the Firefox extension by "Firefox: Reload add-on", the changes are not applied.
This Pull Request solves this problem.

2022-10-16_00h20_41

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create web extension project by npm init webextension firefox-webext-test.

  2. Open project with Visual Studio Code.

  3. Create launch.json in .vscode directory.

    Code
    {
        "version": "0.2.0",
        "configurations": [
            {
                "type": "firefox",
                "request": "launch",
                "name": "Launch add-on",
                "addonPath": "${workspaceFolder}",
                "url": "https://developer.mozilla.org/"
            }
        ]
    }
  4. Replace the code in content.js with alert("Test v1");.

  5. Press F5 to launch Firefox and you will see Test v1.

  6. Replace the code in content.js with alert("Test v2");.

  7. Press Ctrl+Shift+P and select Firefox: Reload add-on.

  8. Reload the page in Firefox, it still keeps showing Test v1. It does not become Test v2.
