[Flaky CI] Intermittent failures with Cypress

[DarshitChanpura]

In recent CI runs, there were flaky failures observed which went away on subsequent retries. Here is the failure log:

Cypress failed to make a connection to Firefox.

This usually indicates there was a problem opening the Firefox browser.

Error: could not find CRI target

    at runMicrotasks (<anonymous>:null:null)
    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:96:5)

error Command failed with exit code 1.

And here is a recent build output: https://github.com/opensearch-project/security-dashboards-plugin/actions/runs/6395013515/job/17357702336?pr=1580

Expected outcome:

1. Analyze whether this is a bug on our end or from cypress side.
2. Implement a fix.

Seems like an issue from cypress side: cypress-io/cypress#6518

[Triage] Hi @DarshitChanpura, thank you for filing this issue. We can still have someone confirm this and then close. Thank you.

#1728 will resolve the error seen in the OP of this issue. The tests will now run with Chrome instead of FireFox.

The tests are currently only running on the ubuntu-latest runners and will need to be re-enabled on windows. The windows CI is unstable as a result of slow runners that run out of disk space after installing OSD. There is a separate issue around support for Windows so I will close this issue as the OP is resolved.
