Firefox is already running, but is not responding.

I am trying to run this project inside of a separate docker container (not the one included with the repo) but i keep getting this weird error

}

Node.js v18.16.0

The error is saying that firefox is already running, but this is the result of ps -aux before running the script (node epic-games.js)
which shows that there is not firefox process running before.

ps -aux |grep -i firefox
node          63  0.0  0.0   3232   712 pts/0    S+   13:51   0:00 grep -i firefox

Is there a way to debug or fix this ?

Is there anything else in the container using Playwright?
Maybe there's some leftover lock-file. Try with a clean profile.

Feel free to reopen with details.
