[Bug]: Timeout while attempting to connect to Firefox
Hello,
I am trying to use a headless instance of Firefox to generate some PDF based on precomputed HTML.
Puppeteer 20.2.2 works well (at least on my development machine, in a process hosted in IIS Express) with Edge and Chrome, but for Firefox (which is the browser I'll have to use, unfortunately) it fails with this exception:
---> PuppeteerSharp.ProcessException: Timed out after 30000 ms while trying to connect to Base!
at PuppeteerSharp.States.ProcessStartingState.StartCoreAsync(LauncherBase p) in /home/runner/work/puppeteer-sharp/puppeteer-sharp/lib/PuppeteerSharp/States/ProcessStartingState.cs:line 83
at PuppeteerSharp.States.ProcessStartingState.StartCoreAsync(LauncherBase p) in /home/runner/work/puppeteer-sharp/puppeteer-sharp/lib/PuppeteerSharp/States/ProcessStartingState.cs:line 89

at PuppeteerSharp.Launcher.LaunchAsync(LaunchOptions options) in /home/runner/work/puppeteer-sharp/puppeteer-sharp/lib/PuppeteerSharp/Launcher.cs:line 110
Here is the repro :
await using var browser = await Puppeteer.LaunchAsync(new LaunchOptions // This line throws the exception
{
ExecutablePath = @"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe",
Browser = SupportedBrowser.Firefox,
Headless = true,
});
// Open new browser page
await using var page = await browser.NewPageAsync();
// Load html in off screen browser
await page.SetContentAsync(html, new NavigationOptions()
{
WaitUntil = [WaitUntilNavigation.DOMContentLoaded]
});
var pdfBytes = await page.PdfDataAsync();
I have tried to start manually firefox, or to remove the "headless", just in case, it does not change anything. I know Pupeteer does something, since when I can see several "Firefox.exe" processes appear in my task manager when I invoke my code, and disappear a few seconds later.
Environment : Firefox 143.0.1, Puppeteer 20.2.2, Windows 10, process running in IIS Express (without debug).
Thank you :)
