Describe the bug

.github/workflows/example-firefox.yml often fails.

Typically the failure logs show:

Still waiting to connect to Firefox, retrying in 1 second
Warning: We failed processing this video.
Cypress failed to make a connection to Firefox.
Could not find Cypress test run results
Error: Could not find Cypress test run results

The workflow has been failing on merges into the master branch since November 22, 2022. Problems with merges into other branches have been going on for much longer. Due to log retention policies only recent detailed logs going back 90 days are available. Job 5079650276 from September 26, 2022 is the earliest concrete evidence of the exact same failure with Firefox 104.

Expected behavior

All sub-tests of .github/workflows/example-firefox.yml should run reliably and succeed.

Comments

I could not find a reason for the unreliable results of .github/workflows/example-firefox.yml so far.

It would be possible to stop the following errors being reported:

• "Warning: We failed processing this video." (disable videos)
• "Warning: No files were found with the provided path: examples/firefox/cypress/screenshots. No artifacts will be uploaded" in the firefox job for v9 (correct the directory)

however this does not make the action more reliable.
