Describe the bug

Browser testing does not work when using a non-default base setting. When the base value is modified, the following error occurs using a minimal vitest.config.ts

import { defineConfig } from 'vitest/config';

export default defineConfig({
  base: '/example/',
  test: {
    browser: {
      enabled: true,
      headless: true,
      name: 'firefox',
      provider: 'playwright',
    }
  }
})

Caused by: TypeError: error loading dynamically imported module: http://localhost:5173/@id/vitest/utils

Removing the base setting, or setting it to an empty string, makes the error no longer occur.

Reproduction

This minimal example demonstrates the issue. Run npm install; npm test to cause the error. Remove the base configuration option in vitest.config.ts to make the error go away.
