I've followed the new developer guide. When I run docs-build I see

FileDropper thumbnail export failed

I guess the workaround is to make sure all thumbnails are created. But the real solution would to have pixi install the firefox or geckodriver as a part of the docs installation?

Going to disable automatic thumbnailing.

Apparently this is already an option. Will disable in your PR.
