Skip Firefox test using Cypress v9 to resolve flaky tests #660

This PR resolves the issue #659 "CI: Sporadic failures in example-firefox".

The Firefox test under Cypress v9 in .github/workflows/example-firefox.yml is disabled, since it is unreliable and the issue has been shown to be reproducible on a local machine independently of github-action.

This allows the Cypress v10 test to then run reliably.

Test results

The results are good!

Success

Note especially the success of example-firefox / firefox-v10 https://github.com/cypress-io/github-action/actions/runs/3670236402/jobs/6204633271 🙂

Skipped

As planned, example-firefox / firefox (the v9 test) is skipped https://github.com/cypress-io/github-action/actions/runs/3670236402/jobs/6204633548

Hi @jaffrepaul

How do you feel about this PR?

Disabling the Firefox test on v9 is a quick workaround to get the test suite to succeed running v10, instead of getting tripped up on "Error: could not find CRI target" from the v9 test.

I don't expect to see a fix for this scenario however, so a more permanent solution would be to remove the complete v9 test for Firefox instead of simply skipping it.

@nagash77 responded in cypress-io/cypress#23215 (comment) so I don't expect any change in the Cypress code for 9.x. If there is no identified issue on the Mozilla Firefox side with CRI (Chrome Remote Interface?) then there is also not much likelihood of Mozilla issuing a fix. So in total there is not much chance of this test becoming reliable again.

Thanks @MikeMcC399. Im ok to skip this test but leave as-is for reference and the thread which discusses things in more depth.

Changes include:

Bug fix to ignore directories starting with a dot `.` but not directories that contain a dot `.`. According to the docs, this action should ignore mono repos that begin with a dot but it currently ignores also mono repo with a dot even if it is not the first character. Thanks to [@&#8203;MoLow](https://togithub.com/MoLow) for the fix!
