Headed browser sessions aren't cleaned up

[volkanunsal]

I'm noticing this issue with several browsers. To replicate:

const page = await host.browse(
  "https://microsoft.github.io/genaiscript/reference/scripts/browser/",
  {
    headless: false,
    browser: "firefox",
  }
);

Each time you run the script, it creates a new browser session.

What makes this worse is Chromium session cannot be quit with Cmd+Q. You have to Force Quit it. That's why I chose to use Firefox.

Issue Title: Headed browser sessions aren't cleaned up

Issue Body:
I'm noticing this issue with several browsers, specifically Firefox and Chromium. To replicate:

const page = await host.browse(
  "https://microsoft.github.io/genaiscript/reference/scripts/browser/",
  {
    headless: false,
    browser: "firefox",
  }
);

Each time you run the script, it creates a new browser session without cleaning up previous sessions. This makes it difficult to manage multiple browsing contexts and can lead to resource exhaustion.

For Firefox, quitting a browser session by using Cmd+Q does not properly close all associated processes, which necessitates Force Quitting.

Please clarify if the issue is specific to Firefox or also affects Chromium. Additionally, could you provide information on how other browsers handle this scenario?

Try setting incognito to false to reuse the sessions.

I will text this because there is code in place to close all pages, contexts and browsers.

Try setting incognito to false to reuse the sessions.

It doesn't seem to work for some reason.

What OS are you running?

[pelikhan]

do you run the script through the cli or vscode?

[volkanunsal]

I'm running on Mac. I ran it from VSCode.

[pelikhan]

Ha I think I only run the cleaning out when I shut down the host.

Summary

Users are encountering issues where browser sessions, specifically Firefox and Chromium, are not being properly cleaned up after each script execution in genaiscript. This leads to resource exhaustion and requires manual intervention on macOS, such as Force Quitting the browsers.

Current efforts to fix the issue include setting the incognito option to false, which has varying results. There is no consensus on a solution or a definitive cause of the problem. Additionally, there is uncertainty about how other browsers handle this scenario and whether the issue persists when running scripts through the CLI versus VSCode.
