For some reason typescript can't find electron types when using
nested tsconfig - workaround the bug.
Drive-by: surface installer compilation problems.
Browser registry is responsible for 3 things:
1. Remove downloaded browsers if there are no packages that refer to them
2. Install default browsers needed for the current package
3. Install browsers on-demand when used through Playwright CLI
Currently, registry relies on a single "download" field in `browsers.json`
to carry both (1) and (2). However, browsers in (3) are marked as
`download: false` so that they aren't installed automatically in (2), so
auto-remove procedure in (1) removes them on subsequent installation.
One possible approach to fix this would be modifying package's `browsers.json` to
change `download: false` to `true` when browsers are installed with
Playwright CLI. This approach was explored here:

We decided against this since we have a history of issues related to
package modifications after NPM installation. This breaks all
sorts of yarn/npm caching mechanisms.
Instead, this patch is a two-step refactor:
- remove the "download" field in `browsers.json`. Now, all registries
(including old ones from previously-released versions) will retain any
browsers that are mentioned in the `browsers.json`.
- add a new flag "installByDefault", that is **only used** for default
installation.
With this change, the registry tasks are done like this:
- (1) auto-removal: if browser has a back reference, it is retained,
otherwise it is removed from registry
- (2) default installation: use only `installByDefault` to carry default installations
- (3) CLI installation: simply installs browsers. Since we retain
everythings that's referenced in (1), browsers aren't removed.
Fixes#5902
This patch rolls Firefox to r1237. Upstream firefox still struggles
with crashes with certain videos: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1697004
This PR also workarounds this crash by disabling webrender.
