Hi @DeeptiLalwani - We would like to inform you that the latest image version (20250126.1) has been rolled out, and the Firefox driver has been updated to version 134.0.2.
Please update your sync process and try using the new version. Let us know if you encounter any further issues.
Additionally, please try adding the missing package libdbus-glib-1-2 to the workflow at runtime.

In the meantime, we request you to provide any workflow and reproduction steps link to help us investigate the issue further.
Thanks!
