There is a hang in execute_script() for `remove_all_history()`:

The meta keyword is there, the bug doesn't depend on other bugs and there is no activity for 12 months.
:whimboo, maybe it's time to close this bug?

meta was most likely set incorrectly. This bug blocks other intermittent bugs.

With the removal of the firefox-puppeteer package this library no longer exists.
