A user on the Discord seems to be having this same issue with Firefox: https://discord.com/channels/807756831384403968/1273732372956839967

[TimChild]

I am also having the same issue with firefox.

[mxschmitt]

should be fixed, please retry!

[emma-sg]

Can't seem to reproduce any more, thank you!

[alexmt]

Just got the same error :(

[emma-sg]

Yeah, can reproduce, it still seems to be occurring at the moment

[S64]

Same issue here.
I thought maybe only some hosts were down, so I tried defining PLAYWRIGHT_DOWNLOAD_HOST as a workaround, but the behavior did not change. It seems that the issue is happening on every of hosts.

• playwright/docs/src/browsers.md

  Lines 625 to 631 in b2ccfc3

  	## Download from artifact repository
  	By default, Playwright downloads browsers from Microsoft's CDN.
  	Sometimes companies maintain an internal artifact repository to host browser
  	binaries. In this case, Playwright can be configured to download from a custom
  	location using the `PLAYWRIGHT_DOWNLOAD_HOST` env variable.

• playwright/packages/playwright-core/src/server/registry/index.ts

  Lines 39 to 43 in b2ccfc3

  	const PLAYWRIGHT_CDN_MIRRORS = [
  	'https://playwright.azureedge.net',
  	'https://playwright-akamai.azureedge.net',
  	'https://playwright-verizon.azureedge.net',
  	];

*Without trying this, a careful reading of the logs will confirm that this error is the result of an attempt to get from each host

[TerenceTian625]

Same issue here, failed to download browser on windows and ubuntu-24.04

[pavelfeldman]

We are experiencing intermittent cloud-related CDN access failures, apologies for the inconvenience.

[Skn0tt]

The outage is resolved, closing.
