Firefox ESR tabs crashing on startup
I'm using a Docker container to install Firefox ESR via apt-get and then start a Firefox process using a Node.js script that is also started from the Dockerfile. Unfortunately, I'm unable to view any content on Firefox as I get a string of errors. Furthermore, I've tried Googling these errors to no avail. Here are the commands used to install Firefox ESR:
RUN apt-get update && apt-get -y install firefox-esr RUN mkdir -p /var/run/dbus
I am then using the spawn module from Node.js' child_process module with the following command:
firefox-esr -browser -foreground -width ${width} -height ${height} -safe-mode
Here is the full method used to run firefox-esr
export const firefox = (env: NodeJS.ProcessEnv, width: number, height: number) => spawn('sudo', [
'firefox-esr',
'-browser', '-foreground',
'-width', `${width}`,
'-height', `${height}`,
'-safe-mode'
], {
env,
stdio: [
'ignore',
'inherit',
'inherit'
]
})
The errors I receive in the console are:
[Parent 46, Gecko_IOThread] WARNING: pipe error (69): Connection reset by peer: file /build/firefox-esr-GalmjP/firefox-esr-60.8.0esr/ipc/chromium/src/chrome/common/ipc_channel_posix.cc, line 342

The container is being given 150MB of RAM with a limit of 300MB
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
