I saw in another issue that your source code is working with node 17. What exact version of node 17 are you using? I tried 17.9.1 but I still had a error. Thanks.

Hi @djalan -- thanks for reporting this bug. Sorry for the delay -- the bug has now been fixed in 4e954560747924f79e69adb2a2951d9a6be3df31.

I also checked the latest version of node (19.7.0) and it ran correctly. Please let me know if you run into any more issues.

@arthuredelstein What version of Ubuntu or Debian are you running? It only worked once/partially out of 15 tries under my Fedora. It always hangs at the very first test.

It is closing Firefox, then re-opening it, and it's telling me that a Firefox process is already running. I tried various combinations of waiting and handling pop-ups myself. It worked partially after I edited about:confg manually trying some stuff like disabling session restore.

I can now get the script to complete in a VM with Ubuntu 22.04. I will open a PR for a missing dependency and a new config file for a puppeteer warning.

On the other hand, is it normal that I get a process kill error ESRCH over and over again while running tests for Firefox? Are you not catching this error on purpose by any chance?

@arthuredelstein thanks
