cannot access RestRserve via GET on localhost from a browser

Time：11-08

I am starting a RestRserve application using the following R code (MacOS):

library(RestRserve)
app = Application$new(
  middleware = list(CORSMiddleware$new())
)

app$add_static(
  path = '/main',
  file_path = here::here('inst/html/test.html')
)

app$logger = Logger$new(level = "trace", name = "mylogger")
backend = BackendRserve$new()
backend$start(app, http_port = 8080)

with the test.html containing the simple code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Test</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id = 'testdiv'>This is a test.</div>
    <script>
      console.log('hi.');
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

From curl on the command line, it works:

# curl http://localhost:8080/main

outputs

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Test</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id = 'testdiv'>This is a test.</div>
    <script>
      console.log('hi.');
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

and the RestRserve log shows

However, when I try to access the same page locally from a (Firefox) browser, I get a 404:

The key bit seems to be that when I request the page from curl, the server log reports try to match requested path '/main' - but when I do it from the browser, it reports try to match requested path 'http://localhost:8080/main'.

I suspect I'm doing something very basic wrong, but I'm not sure what it is. Any help would be appreciated.

I have since discovered that it seems to be ONLY Firefox with the issue. Chrome and Safari work as expected, as the following log shows:
