Use Firefox for system specs in GitHub Actions

In general, we can run system specs with four browser combinations:

1. Chrome
2. Chrome Headless
3. Firefox
4. Firefox Headless

Unfortunately, Selenium has an ongoing issue with Chrome Headless and Alerts, making the test execution slow or causing random failures. Non-headless Chrome works fine.

To overcome these issues, we switch to Firefox for the time being in GitHub Actions. Non-headless browsers are not supported in GitHub Actions.
