Firefox doesn't handle lookahead/lookbehind patterns in regexes, leading
to Theia applications not starting when ran inside Firefox.
This commit replaces the problematic regex with a method that produces
the same result.
Fixes: #7771
How to test
Theia's browser example application should now work in Firefox.
