XML parsing Firefox reading file from absolute path

Question

I am trying to run a very simple JavaScript (e.g. 3Dmol.js) with VS Code and Firefox (v 91) on ubuntu 20.04.

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>
    <head>
        <meta content="text/html;charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type">
        <meta content="utf-8" http-equiv="encoding">
        
        <title>3Dmol.js Surface Test</title>
        <script src="../build/3Dmol.js"></script>

        <div class="align-center">
            <div id="container" class="mol-container"></div>
          </div>
       
        <script type="text/javascript">
            $(function() {
              $.get("/home/me/Documents/veloxchem_workshop/density_a_mox.cube", function(data){
              var voldata = new $3Dmol.VolumeData(data, "cube");
            });
          });
        </script>

    </head>
</html>

I have configured the launch.json to target a specific html and the script is running,

{
    // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
    // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
    // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
             {
            "name": "Launch test.html",
            "type": "firefox",
            "request": "launch",
            "reAttach": true,
            "file": "/home/me/Documents/3Dmol.js/examples/volumetric.html"

        }

    ]
}

but there are two errors in console:

XML Parsing Error: syntax error
Location: file:///home/me/Documents/3Dmol.js/tests/auto/data/test.cube
Line Number 1, Column 1: test.cube:1:1

XML Parsing Error: syntax error
Location: file:///home/me/Documents/3Dmol.js/examples/volumetric.html
Line Number 1, Column 1: volumetric.html:1:1

which prevents the .cube file to be read, and more mysteriously the html file its self to be read (?). I have read about changing the type of the variable to force the parsing using Content-Type: "text/plain", but I haven't understood how to implement it in my html.

Any idea how to solve the issue?
