Is the Playwright Firefox Docker image usable with PlaywrightCrawler?

I understand that the template for PlaywrightCrawler uses the Chrome Docker image. Is it possible to modify that Dockerfile to use apify/actor-node-playwright-firefox:16, and if so, are there any other modifications that would need to be made?

Hi, I have never seen this error, so I am not sure what you are doing wrong but to use firefox with playwright on apify platform you need: 1. change dockerfile line to FROM apify/actor-node-playwright-firefox:16 2. and in the code import { firefox } from 'playwright' and in crawler options

 launchContext:
    {
        //useChrome:true,
        launcher:playwright.firefox,
    },

 launchContext:
    {
        //useChrome:true,
        launcher:playwright.firefox,
    },

hope this helps

Thank you very much! The missing piece was the launchContext specification, and it worked!
