Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, upgrades the web-ext dependency from version 4 to 8 to resolve a security vulnerability. This is a major version jump and is correctly identified as a breaking change. My review highlights a significant risk of breakage in the Firefox extension test script due to this upgrade. The script relies on the command-line behavior of web-ext, which has likely changed substantially across these major versions. I have provided a detailed comment on the package.json change to explain the potential issue and suggest how to verify and address it.

This major version upgrade of web-ext from v4 to v8 is likely to introduce breaking changes, as indicated in the PR description.
The script at packages/react-devtools-extensions/firefox/test.js executes web-ext and contains custom logic to locate Firefox profiles based on the WEB_EXT_FIREFOX environment variable. This logic, particularly the mapping of Firefox release channels to profile names, may be incompatible with web-ext v8.
Newer versions of web-ext have improved profile detection and may handle this automatically when WEB_EXT_FIREFOX is set, potentially making the manual lookup in firefox/test.js redundant or conflicting.
It is highly recommended to verify that the yarn run test:firefox command still functions correctly after this upgrade. If it is broken, packages/react-devtools-extensions/firefox/test.js will likely need to be refactored to align with the command-line API and behavior of web-ext v8.
