Note: Before filing feature requests in this repo, please ensure that this is a feature request for the Emulator Suite UI. Emulator Suite and/or Firebase CLI feature requests should be filed under the firebase-tools repo here: https://github.com/firebase/firebase-tools/issues/new/choose

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]

When using a remote development environment like Code Spaces or Cloud Workstations they forward ports as URLs like

https://some-crazy-url-464x7qrxprcqvg4-4000.preview.app.github.dev/

Where the 4000 before the domain is the port.

When running the Emulator UI, specifically the Firebase UI, it tries to connect to make a web socket connection by tacking on the web socket port like this:

https://some-crazy-url-464x7qrxprcqvg4-4000.preview.app.github.dev:9150

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to work. I believe it needs to be something more like this:

https://some-crazy-url-464x7qrxprcqvg4-9150.preview.app.github.dev

Describe the solution you'd like Maybe there's a way in the Firebase config file for a project we could set up this URL for the web socket connection?

Describe alternatives you've considered I can't really think of any alternatives, but I'm open.
