Context:

• Playwright Version: 1.7.0
• Operating System: Linux, Heroku
• Node.js version: v12.20.0
• Browser: Firefox

Code Snippet

// @ts-check
const playwright = require("playwright");

(async () => {
    const browser = await playwright.firefox.launch();
    const context = await browser.newContext();
    const page = await context.newPage();
    await page.goto('http://whatsmyuseragent.org/');
    await page.screenshot({ path: `example.png` });
    await browser.close();
})();

Describe the bug

Firefox can't start, the tab suprocess crashes. It was working with 1.5.1 but with 1.7.0 I run into this weird error (not me actually, I'm maintaining the Heroku buildpack, probably then the users).

The full logs see here:

Seems like its failing for the same reason on the bots sometimes: https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/4747/checks?check_run_id=1569969846#step:9:56

@aslushnikov Searching around for this error, it's somewhat common when running Firefox on linux. Perhaps upstream bug?

[aslushnikov]

@mxschmitt is this still bothering you on Heroku?

No seems fixed, lets close it.
