i got paged during this, so my quality is kinda garbage never push during Friday, you WILL hate yourself |

@thesomewhatyou Thanks for the PR! I'm checking to make sure this is something we feel capable of keeping up with in the future, since edge cases and things that involve specific products that don't belong to us can be tricky to keep up to date in the documentation. This does look useful, though, so I hope we can accept it. |

@Sharra-writes I'm definitely gonna pop in as the updating-the-external-docs ghost, so if you ever see me again, just know I just came here to update external documentation |
Added guidance through the common issues
Why:
Most people may or may not notice, but ETP blocks Codespaces' ability to connect entirely. And for LibreWolf users like me, this can be pretty frustrating. Eventually, you can add an exception, but if people are new to LibreWolf/Firefox, they won't get the memo fairly quickly. This is why I also added a guide from Mozilla so people can make exceptions + disable it if they want. I do know very angry friends who got so enraged at this issue because they are extremely reliant on Codespaces, but I gave them the solution and it works. I feel like this commit would guide people better.
