[🐛 Bug]: selenium/node-firefox Docker Image has Differing Browser Versions per Architecture

[kbarnesMCC]

What happened?

The amd64 and arm64 builds of "node-firefox" appear to be using different Firefox versions for the same tag.

For example, when leveraging selenium/node-firefox:130.0 the on an x64 machine; the resulting version in Selenium Hub is 130.0 as expected. Unforutnately, when using this same tag on arm64; the resulting version is actually 132.0.

I noticed when attempting to update to 132.0 tag the amd64 updates properly but the arm64 version is actually 134.0.

Command used to start Selenium Grid with Docker (or Kubernetes)

services:
  selenium:
    container_name: selenium
    image: selenium/hub:4.19
    ports:
      - 4442:4442
      - 4443:4443
      - 4444:4444
    healthcheck:
      disable: true

  selenium-node:
    container_name: selenium-firefox
    image: selenium/node-firefox:130.0
    ports:
      - 50001:7900
    environment:
      - SE_EVENT_BUS_HOST=selenium
      - SE_EVENT_BUS_PUBLISH_PORT=4442
      - SE_EVENT_BUS_SUBSCRIBE_PORT=4443
    shm_size: 2gb
    depends_on:
      - selenium
    healthcheck:
      disable: true

Here's the screenshot for amd64 when using 130.0 as the docker tag.

Unfortunately, we rely on Firefox, they are not shipping Linux/arm64 in Beta/Stable channel
You can follow their progress on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1677963

The note of mismatch version in README https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/docker-selenium?tab=readme-ov-file#experimental-multi-arch-amd64aarch64armhf-images

I see, apologies didn't see that subtlety in the README. Going to close this one then and work around the limitation on our end (e.g. not specify a browserVersion capability for our local development teams who are mixed architecture.)

I just rechecked, Firefox also archives Nightly packages https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/nightly
So, I will pin the version to be synced with Linux/AMD64 for a while
Hopefully, this will help user experience is better.
