Proposed fix: [Puppeteer >= 24] 'Connecting to Firefox using CDP is no longer supported' / 'Pipe connections are not supported with Firefox and WebDriver BiDi'
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Drop protocol: 'cdp' and pipe for Firefox (BiDi is default); check the BiDi support list for missing features; pin Puppeteer 23 only as a stopgap.
Option: Drop protocol: 'cdp' and pipe for Firefox (BiDi is default); check the BiDi support list for missing features; pin Puppeteer 23 only as a stopgap. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: puppeteer.launch({browser: 'firefox', protocol: 'cdp'}) or pipe: true with Firefox; old scripts using product: 'firefox'
Steps:
1. Remove protocol:'cdp' / pipe:true from Firefox launch options.
2. Install Firefox via `npx puppeteer browsers install firefox`.
3. Replace CDP-only features (e.g. page.createCDPSession) when targeting Firefox.
Expected: The error no longer appears.
