Description
Hi,
First of all, thank you for maintaining this excellent Docker image for Firefox. It’s extremely useful for running a fully containerized browser environment.
Currently, the image runs Firefox built for Linux. Would it be possible to add support for running the Windows version of Firefox as well?
Context
This request is being raised with reference to the following discussion:
In that issue, a Windows-based Firefox environment was needed for compatibility with certain workflows, and your Docker image was suggested as a potential solution if Windows Firefox support were available.
Use case
Some websites and enterprise environments behave differently depending on the OS. Having the ability to run the Windows build of Firefox inside a container would help with:
- Cross-platform browser testing
- Debugging OS-specific issues
- Running sites that rely on Windows-specific behaviors or integrations
Possible approaches
Some potential implementation approaches could include:
- Providing an optional image/tag that installs the Windows version of Firefox
- Running Windows Firefox through a compatibility layer such as Wine
- Any other approach that maintains stability and performance
Expected outcome
Users could choose between:
- Linux Firefox (current default)
- Windows Firefox (optional tag or configuration)
I understand this might introduce additional complexity, but it would be a valuable addition for testing and compatibility scenarios.
Thanks again for the great project and for considering this request.
