[Bug]: Timeout attempting to navigate to a page (local file) using FireFox
See original GitHub issueBug description
Running the code below on CentOS 7 times out trying to go to the specified page. It never prints “went to URL”. The argument that I am providing as the input URL is for a local file using a fully qualified path (“file:///vmshare/wkhtmltopdf-poc/hello.html”).
If I try the same thing using an Internet URL (e.g. “https://google.com”) then the code proceeds and does not time out.
'use strict';
// argv[0] = the node binary
// argv[1] = this script
// ... additional args on commandline.
if (process.argv.length < 4 || process.argv.length > 5) {
console.error(
'Must supply either 2 or 3 arguments:\n' +
' 1. Input URL\n' +
' 2. Output file name (pdf)\n' +
' 3. Optional page format (e.g. "letter" or "A4")'
);
process.exit(1);
}
const inputURL = process.argv[2];
const outputFile = process.argv[3];
const pageFormat = process.argv[4] || 'A4';
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ product: 'firefox' });
const page = await browser.newPage();
console.log('got page');
await page.goto(inputURL);
console.log('went to URL');
await page.waitForNetworkIdle();
await page.evaluate('document.fonts.ready');
await page.pdf({
path: outputFile,
format: pageFormat,
});
await browser.close();
})();
When I run it with DEBUG=puppeteer.* …, I get the following output

Let’s keep it open so that it’s easier for users who might encounter this to find it.
When I have time, I might try to work around this for myself by serving files from the local filesystem through a Web server dedicated to that purpose on a dedicated port number. I’m just sharing that here as a thought for anyone else who needs to work around this issue.
