Could you set DEBUG=pw:browser* and paste errors it reports?

[pavelfeldman]

Yes, that would be

"env": {"DEBUG":"pw:browser*"},

[pavelfeldman]

It claims it can't read the profile directory that was created for it... Could you check that you can create folders under AppData\Local\Temp? (basically the -profile option that it passes)

[veighthedev]

I can create folders under AppData\Local\Temp.

[veighthedev]

As you can see, it creates a folder in the Temp folder.

If someone else gets the error, set a timeout of 300-400ms before getting the page and it will work

[veighthedev]

But since this isnt a very reliable fix, the bug is still existing

Have you tried deleting and re-downloading the firefox browser? I'm thinking it could be a corrupt browser download.

Also does the bug exist in other versions, 0.16, 0.17 perhaps?

[veighthedev]

I reinstalled it multiple times and it also happes in older versions.

• 1 ^ I experienced the bug as well. While the timeout fixed the issue, it isn't ideal.

[pavelfeldman]

@SentoxAIO: Which timeout fixes it? After launch before creating the context?

[veighthedev]

It worked for me with a delay of 300-400ms before creating the context

[veighthedev]

Seems like its fixed. Thanks for your work!

  await page.waitForTimeout(500);
  await page.goto("https://example.com/")

^ The timeout approach also worked for me. I only found this in Firefox but could be in other browsers.

I think what's happening is that page.goto doesn't care about the current state, but something in the current state like a pending req is aborted when goto is triggered.

Had the same problem with goBack, solved it with waitForLoadState instead of waitForTimeout:

// ...
await page.waitForLoadState(); // needed
await page.goBack(); // without the wait above got Error: NS_BINDING_ABORTED; same for goto()
