Hi Marius, Quick clarification, pre-req steps in description of the bug mentions Firefox is not pinned to the taskbar., is that typing error or intended? Thanks

Hi, Punam! You are right it is a typing error (sorry for that). The preconditions should say `Firefox is pinned to the taskbar."
I have also updated the bug description. Thank you for finding this!

I have retested this issue after the recipe was updated using Firefox Release 115.0 (Build ID: 20230629134642) and I can confirm that is no longer reproducible. The "Easy Setup" screen is successfully displayed if Firefox is pinned to the taskbar.
Considering this I think that we can close this issue.
