In VS Code I have installed the Live Server extension and in Firefox I have installed Live Server Web Extension.

When I start the normal Live Server server auto-reload works (i.e. I change a page, save it in VS Code and it auto-updates in Firefox). However when I proxy to another server on localhost:7700 (which serves the same files) via the settings

"liveServer.settings.useWebExt": true,
"liveServer.settings.proxy": {
    "enable": true,                            i. enabled
    "baseUri": "/",                           ii. workspace
    "proxyUri": "http://localhost:7700/" // iii. actual address
},

I've got a page served on localhost:5500 through Live Server, which is great. However, the auto-reload feature isn't functioning as expected.

How to troubleshoot and resolve this issue? (Please note, I have to use Firefox and cannot switch to Chrome.)

  • What does the Firefox extension do? I use the Live Server VSCode plugin all the time and it works fine without any Firefox extensions. – Chris Barr Aug 18 '23 at 03:22
  • @ChrisBarr From My understanding the accompanying Browser extension makes it possible to use another, external web server to deliver the pages ( e.g. serving PHP or JSP content). – halloleo Aug 18 '23 at 03:47
